i look just like buddy holly!

and she's just goddamn gorgeous.

it was a most pleasant morning. the bus ride was okay. the scout and i began the day with forms missioning, which took a HELL of a long time. lots of walking about collecting signatures.

i got very little actual work done today. mostly due to the fact that j-girl was sitting with me for most of the time i was in my office. the dog's mother came to visit, which was amusing. we had a section meeting, and decided that we're going to put to a vote whether to spend our hard-earned "cash" from yesterday on a weekend trip up north, a day at the mountain-climbing wall, or paintballing. we discovered that it's possible to sign out a bed from the quarter-master's store, which means next week will be spent studying, working night hours, and playing tekken.

around 5pm j-girl and i left the base, and bussed through to the waffle place in tel aviv. i'd intended to have a waffle, some coffee, and then show her around the area. instead we realized, at 20.45, that we'd spent about 3 hours talking. and almost date-like, too.

we've agreed that until further notice, we're at the very least defining ourselves as friends. that doesn't mean a hell of a lot, but the evening was extremely intimate, and i learned a lot of things about her that not only make me more crazy about her, but also gave me a better understanding of what's happening with her relationship-wise. and i can totally relate.

to sum up, we're in a weird state of essentially dating... but not. at least we understand the logic. the part of the story that amuses me no end is that her parents are already enthusiastic about me, and they haven't met me yet ;)
everything's on an extremely positive maybe.

i've realized what it is about her (and girls in general) that i find so fantastically attractive. it's that it's immediately apparent from her attitude, both physical and emotional, that she easily connects with other people, physically and mentally. i find the words detract from the point i'm trying to make, but essentially it boils down to sexual warmth and self-confidence, in addition to being entirely agreeable on a mental level. it all feels right. totally comfortable. no worries, and nothing to be embarrassed about.

i saw her off at the train station, then took the next train, and walked home. i'm going to do absolutely nothing tonight. primarily because my brain is buggered.
