hot water music - driving home

you know how when i was little, i used to imagine what it would be like to be a teenager? all the staying out late, doing nothing, sitting on couches in someone's garage, eating ice cream on the side of the road... i've done all that, and it's everything i wanted.
but i also used to imagine what the perfect relationship would be like, the perfect boyfriend. i'm not saying jeff's perfect... but he comes damn close. in fact, so close that i can't really say why he's not... i just don't want to start thinking things that meaningful. that would have that much impact.
but yeah... today was absolutely wonderful. it started out alright... church and such... then i drove around and did some shopping and such... but the best part by far was when i finally got to see jeff. it's been a month for us today, you know. and it's only getting better. he's amazing, really. everything about him, from the way he randomly breaks into a dance to his little "yeah o-kay,"... he's wonderful. but, right, we went to wendy's... got an assload of stuff from the dollar menue, and sat and ate and talked and just had a great time getting in a little mini-food fight and everything. drove to best buy to get some batteries, then off to steel lake. it was beautiful. we stood on the dock and looked out on the water, at the ducks and the lights and watched the stars come out. when it got really dark, we left and went to illahee... wandered around for a little bit, sat under the trees, then tried to find a way to climb onto the roof. not too much luck getting all the way up, but we made it on top of those little hallway roofs. so we sat up there for another while, talking and looking at the stars some more... little stint where we had to run around looking for his cell phone, it was in my car... then back up onto the roof.
that was the part that really got to me, y'know? just laying on the roof of my old junior high, looking at the stars, listening to the building creaking around us and making plans for spending the whole night up there, with sleeping bags and everything. it's exactly what i imagined, everything i've wanted. someone who i can do dumb reckless shit with, while at the exact same time having a completely serious conversation. it's amazing. he's amazing. but i think i said that.
