Early to rise

Up up up.  I need breakfast.

*1 breakfast later*

Oh, that's better.
Jason Marta asked me if I felt the same way about you now that I did in the beginning.  I told him no and yes.  I don't feel the losing-sleep twitchy-brain obsessiveness that I did at first.  I think that comes from the first steps of interacting with an idea that is much larger than you can think about all at once.  So you have to think about it in little pieces at a time, but the looming shape of it arrests the attention.  So no, I don't feel like that still.  Which is good, because I'm a fan of sleep.  Getting it.  As opposed to not.  But I do still feel the same way about you.  I like you more... I haven't been disillusioned.  I don't think I was ever illusioned in the first place, to be subsequently dis.  I still want to hang out with you all the time.  I still want to protect you and serve you and occasionally do something magic for you.  None of that's changed.
Jason has been married for ten years.  Colleen is super cool, and a strong Christian.  They're both really honest people about their faith.  Jason doesn't enjoy reading the bible, and they've got their rough patches.  Colleen can't have children, for medical reasons.  They've had recently... not a 'slump'... just a period where emotions were tougher, I guess.  I've felt that before.  But they've gotten through it.  They love each other.  Jason was telling me how he still wants to have new experiences with her, and learn stuff about her.  He's reading books to try to understand her better.  It's cool.
Hey.  I get to see you tonight.  And that is awesome.
