10:24 a.m. - February 15, 2004 The good part of the day--and I'm trying to dwell on the good stuff now--dinner at this fantastic Spanish restaurant downtown. It was fantastic, and he paid for the entire expensive meal. That was my Valentine's Day gift. Part of me wishes he gave me a little something for Valentine's Day, even if it was something stupid. Just something to keep. The maitre'd did give me a really nice long-stemmed rose and wished me a Happy Valentine's Day. There's just something nice about being able to celebrate Valentine's Day. We also have no food that I can eat for lunch or dinner today, so i am going to run to the grocery store and get food for the rest of the day, watch the rest of "Minority Report", clean for an hour or so, and then do a ton of work the rest of the day. I have so much to do... I was going to do this last night, but I couldn't focus. So I did this this mornign instead. This is from Alison Instructions: 1. Copy this whole list into your diary. 2. Bold the things that you have in common with the survey you copied. (Please tell us who's survey you copied, so we know with whom you have stuff in common. Be picky. Pick someone you like or don't know or whatever!) 3. Whatever you DO NOT bold, replace with things about YOU. Take note, ALL 100 are about ME, the bold ones I have in common with Alison. You bold what you have in common with me then make up new things about YOU for the rest. (To bold something, put this in front of it: �b� and this after it �/b�. If you don't do this, it won't be bold.) 1. I like to read children's books when I have time, or when I need to relax. 2. I think thunderstorms are sexy. 3. I read a lot 4. I really like sleeping. 5.

I'm afraid of making a fool of myself, and am afraid of being far too serious. 81. I have a good sense of humour. However, I have strong beliefs. When people mock them, the first thing they say is that I don't have a good sense of humour. 82.

I think I'm falling more and more in love. I'm a little frightened by that, and just thrilled at the same time. I don't know if he feels the same way.

There is nothing like the joy of opening my mailbox, and finding a letter addressed to me, or a package. I love snail mail even more than e-mail. There's just that thrill of letters... 99. If I could have any ideal profession, it would be a children's writer. Although I killed my dream years ago, and I wish I hadn't, I have realized that I really would love to write children's books. I have written one, but it needs to be revised many more times before I feel comfortable sending it to publishers. I wonder if I'll ever feel comfortable enough to send it off, though... 100. I am one of the most unathletic people I've ever known.
