"I haven't smiled all week..." beamed my companion as he looked at me through eyes of great affection and perhaps love? His smile was so grand, so brilliant, so full of delight and joy.

and yet, after six months i'm still hesitant to move forward, even though i feel like things have turned a great deal in my favor..but still. casual dating with no labels is the last note we left on but after all the time we've been spending together it just feels different. it is different.

Went to a coffee shop last night and talked, got some dinner, then finally to get a movie, Arsenic and Old Lace a Cary Grant flick! My favorite. My companion managed to accidently pull a rack of movies off a stand and as they hit the floor I couldn't help but laugh. Funny... I laugh a lot nowadays. Loudly and often.

Last night I was taken to see Bugs Bunny on Broadway at the Hollywood Bowl. I've never been to there before even though I've lived here for quite some time.

It was nice, we took a picnic basket and made the trek to the Bowl from the side street where we parked.

The place is huge, they said about 18,000 people could fit in there. It looked like about 5000 people, but I'm sure it was at least around 16000 or so.

It was very romantic. We ate on the benches, had wine and cheese and crackers, cold pizza, cookies, etc. My companion teased me about the huge grin that was plastered on my face. I couldn't help it, I was incredibly in awe. I mean this place was amazing as was the person I was with.
