Oh yeah! By the way, I have a job interview tonight and another one on Monday with another temp agency! Some of my hard work is finally paying off!12:14 PM
I was worried about telling Guy #1 about RGuy. Guy #1 and I are just friends, but of course, it's not as simple as that when he's also an ex.
Guy #1 and I had exchanged a few e-mails, and my sister told me to tell him the same way I would tell any of my other friends.
So I did. I wrote this e-mail earlier on this week and told him that wednesday was "my three month anniversary with my boyfriend - a very nice guy I met at school."
This is what he wrote back to me.
"Congratulations on your new boyfriend, and especially congratulations for your three months. I didn't know, your sister never said anything to me when I saw her. But I'm happy for you, you deserve it, you're a great girl."
When I read that, I just felt so pleased with his response, and also sad because it just reminds me of what a great guy he is. You all know I go through spurts of missing him.

Here's what I had actually wrote on the back of that print for RGuy.
To RGuy,
The most important guy in my life right now
- because you broke my record.
Happy Three Months
Erica
Is that cheesy? But it's sorta the truth too...

So yeah, I made it past my record! RGuy is officially the most important person in my past and current dating history. Even surpassing Guy #1. Wednesday night was good, we went out for dinner. I didn't end up buying him a gift, because I didn't have the chance to and because I had no idea what to get him. I just took a print that I did back in high school, scribbled a sweet note on the back, put it in an envelope and told him not to open it til he got home cause I was too embarassed. He didn't get me anything, so it's all good... I'm just glad I did something little for him.
He was really touched by what I wrote on the back of the print, he called me today and he told me so.
We did get into another iffy conversation about his drinking though. I guess maybe I should lay off him, he's not that bad I guess.
He's coming down again tomorow I think, so this long distance thing really hasn't been a problem.
I'm still searching for a job. I've probably sent out hundreds of resumes... God... I just need something to do!
On the other hand, I've watched lots of Martha Stewart and MuchMusic. And I've been working out too. But I can't do this all summer...

I've been keeping busy - which is a good feeling.Living with my Mom and sister - it's actually kinda cool. Sometimes it feels like we're three sisters.
Today is a big day for me. It's the big **3** months for me and RGuy. He should be over here soon - unfortunately I'm nowhere near ready for dinner! My hair is still wet, my make-up not done and my outfit not picked. Heheh. I'll let you know how it goes...

Still on my Amy Tan kick, I watched "Joy Luck Club" yesterday. Everytime I watch that movie I feel like wearing my jade pendant everyday "next to my heart." Heheh...It's been work trying to keep up with everyone. I feel like I have a whole list of people I need to call. But definitely, it's nice to be home.

I called RGuy in the early afternoon yesterday and he surprised me by saying that he was coming down to visit. Just like that! It was really good too. Lot's of quality time and good things were said.This temp agency thing doesn't seem to be working out. I'm going to have to keep looking for something else I think.
It's been nice to be home. I already finished Amy Tan's "The Bonesetter's Daughter," which I liked and the play "Who's Afraid of Virgina Woolf?" - and the ending went right over my head. Wish I had Coles notes.

So this Wednesday is the big, record-breaking three months for me and RGuy. I finally made it.He's gonna come down for the night. He's not supposed to be driving all the way here, it's one of the few rules his parents impose on his driving, but he's doing it anyway.
I'm glad to be seeing him... We'll go out for dinner somewhere and I guess chill for a bit before he goes back home.
Should I get him a gift? What's the protocol? What would be an appropriate gift?
1:19 AM
I can tell I've been reading too much Amy Tan when I start to analyze everything that happens within my family (especially with respect to the females - my sister and mom) in terms of being because of North American influences or Chinese ones.
