swoon

The cute Air Force boy called last night. We talked for over an hour & a half. I still think he’s probably too young for me, but god, he’s just too adorable. Obviously I’m smitten, I don’t stay awake until midnight on a work night for just anyone. He might be going to Iraq in July, which is absolutely terrifying. Even if I don’t end up dating him, he’s a really sweet guy and the idea of him getting blown to bits in a desert on the other side of the world doesn’t sit well with me. The world has a shortage of good kissers, we need guys like him to stick around. He assured me that he’d be safe because he’s an airplane mechanic, so he wouldn’t be in the front lines, and the type of planes he works on (C-17’s, I believe) have never been shot down. But I don’t think there’s any such thing as 100% safe in that country right now. So I know that starting in July, whether or not he & I are still talking to each other, I’m going to be checking the death toll list every day to make sure his name isn’t on it. It’s scary, and I don’t like to think about it. So in the meantime, let’s just focus on the fact that I have a new crush, and he is cute-cute-cutey-cute.
