Josh rocks, and plans for the future.

My boyfriend is awesome. For someone as overcritical as I am, it's confusing to me that he has nothing wrong with him.

I had a great time visiting him in Dallas. We clicked so perfectly. I was expecting the meeting to show the downsides, it wouldn't be the first time I met someone in person who was nothing they claimed to be online. But not only was he like he was, he was better.

So what are my plans for the future?

I was hoping he would move here after he graduated. But he's interning at a law firm, and they seem to really like him. The job he is interning for is looking someone, and they are offering 50k a year to start. He's pretty confident he's gonna be offered the job when his internship is done. So, that leaves it up to me to move there.

It wouldn't be the first time I've moved to Texas. Or the first time I moved to Texas for a guy for that matter. The first time ended up a big clusterfuck, so you'd think I'd have learned. But there are quite a few differences. One of the biggest is that the guy I am moving for isn't making me move. He's okay if I want to stay here to finish my degree. The last guy I moved for said if I didn't move he was gonna leave me. Second biggest is that this guy will be working, and not a college kid. My timing moving to Austin was pretty bad, the job market took a hit when Katrina hit New Orleans and a lot of survivors were moved to Austin. It looks like I may have a hard time finding a job there, but Josh knows this, and I'll be in school so there will be financial aid to cover the slack. Speaking of schooling, I'll be going to (hopefully) UT Dallas, who has a great Microbiology program, and even a degree in Forensic Biology. So I won't just be floating with nothing to do.

But the biggest difference is that Josh is perfect for me. I'm not settling because I think I need to just jump at whoever comes along. I'm not overlooking some things I don't like, because there are some things I do like. I passed by plenty of options before he came along. Josh doesn't have any mental disorders, he doesn't battle with depression. I won't be worrying that when I come home he'll be dead. He's not passive-aggressive. I won't have to try and guess what he wants or needs. He's plenty vocal about those things. I don't have to worry about him just agreeing with what I say, and I don't have to worry about him not being able to take a joke. It's so refreshing to be with someone who isn't trying to manipulate me. And it's so refreshing that I am in a position to be the same to him.

All the crap I dealt with with previous boyfriends were all worth it, because it made me who I am. If I never went through some things with them, then I'd miss out on this great thing with Josh.

People always say that the good men are gay or taken. Well, I found a good man, and I'm glad to say he's taken.

I'll most likely be moving to Dallas after this summer. I'm going to go visit this summer and we'll decide if it's a good idea or not. I'm not naive enough to say that everything is gonna be perfect and we'll be happy together forever.

But if we are gonna be together forever, I'm okay with that.
