D&D went great - almost at my 6th level! So fun. My home is clean, my laundry is done, my dishes are clean, my fridge is full, my week isn't too bad, got to see Chris like a million times last week (he seriously slept over last Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and again Saturday! SO NICE!) I know he's looking to move out somewhere in the fall - I know I shouldn't offer to have him stay over here or that we move in together, but damn it would be wonderful. Once he mentioned that he foresaw himself dating someone for a few years before moving in with them, then waiting at least another year before getting engaged, and then another year between then and getting married. That would take FOREVER from my POV, but whatever... Will maybe offer him a place to stay "temporarily" between apartments if he wants - will see what reaction I get to that.

What it means? I dunno. Oh well. I would now like to go into some happy things that Chris has promissed me we'd do:
go for walks by the river valley in the summer
make kites and go fly them
teach me to drive manual
go camping
go swimming in a lake
go out and watch the stars with a telescope and drink hot chocolate in thermoses
teach me how to service a car myself
go on a road trip up north to the arctic
go to the folk festival
teach me to ballroom dance
take the train together to go back to Ontario for Christmas
meet his parents and sister and dog
make me: cheese sauce for broccoli, split pea soup, onion soup, oxtail stew, meatloaf, cesear salad, cornbread, spinach and pea salad, and homemade pie
make jam from scratch together
go on a double date with his friends
watch a bunch of movies together (can't think of all of them)
run the October marathon with me
... so much more stuff. It's really great having a boyfriend who will plan to do things with you - shows that he isn't worried about committing at least somewhat to the future, and who actually starts completing some of the plans. I am so happy with him, I know this is so sappy, I know this has turned into the I "heart" Chris site, and I know I'm probably boring most of you to tears, but fuck it, I am being treated like gold by a really great guy that fits so many of my "ideal" specs in a man - some of which are very hard to fit given my current age, and the way things are going in the world. I'm really really really happy. It's good. Very very very good.
