So in love.

Wow, I've never felt so good about a girlfriend than I am with Katie. I love her so much. Today I've been in such a good mood despite all the other bullshit happening in my life. Katie makes me feel all "warm and fuzzy" inside and it's a great feeling to have someone verbally reciprocate feelings towards you. Last night I picked her up from Joe's and we went to eat at Davidson's. Her next door neighbor was there and they were catching up a little.

We started eating and after we were through, he came over again and was talking with her. I could tell he was drunk, but it wasn't anything bad. I could tell Katie was having a good time so it was cool. Then his friend came over and he was cool as hell too. Then the evening REALLY started. I thought I was afraid of her dad. These guys were busting my balls big time! But it was all in good fun. Katie was smiling and having so much fun watching them size me up and see if I was "worthy" of being with her. She felt so bad for me at the same time and kept asking if I was uncomfortable and wanted to leave. I told her it was cool, I would tread hell to be with her, so this was cake. They were like big brothers watching out for their younger sister, with the one who lives next to her occasionally hitting on her.

She was so open about us, and kept trying to make me comfortable by holding my hand, hugging me or kissing me right in front of them. While I appreciated this, it only made them joke with me more.

"Harry..." or "Barry!..." They would call my name. It was funny. I took it like a man, joking back when I could. But for the most part I just got hazed. Katie said that they liked me a lot better than Bryan. I think that's a good thing and she does too. Whatever happened last night, it only made her love for me stronger. She just kept staring at me later on, saying how much she loved me. I would look back at her beautiful face, thinking the same thing. I love it when she smiles, when she's happy. It's the greatest feeling in the world to know someone loves you that much and to be with them.

I could be with her forever.

I hope I can be.
