Marathon of ____

June 24th, 2008, I hosted a Lord of the Rings Marathon at my house. It was really cool! We watched all three of them. We started at 1:00pm and went until 2-2:30ish. It was really cool. There was alot of swimming, hanging out, eating, talking, relaxing, and movie watching with all of my favourite people. Casper was there too, and man that night was awesome.

Once the third movie came on, Casper had already snuck my birthday present in my room. So I went in during the movie to open it. It was really cool. As childish as it sounds, she and her amazing cousin, let's call her Hertzmyster, got me a Build-a-Bear with an acoustic guitar, Converse chucks, and sunglasses. I don't even care if it's childish, I think it's freakin' sweet. Anyways, so at one point she went to get up to go outside or something with her friend, SG. So as she walked by I kind of pulled her into my room and said thanks and all that. Then we went outside and layed on my road and looked at the stars. Just the two of us. It was awesome. We had some nice discussions about liking each other, school, future, etc. Such a valuable time with her.

Then we went back in and watched the movie for the next few hours. We were laying on the floor together. At one point we got pretty close. I was gently stroking her hands and holding them and all that. So many times we just got to lay there and look into each others eyes. I got to tell her how beautiful she is and she told me how much she likes me, how cute I am, and how I'm a keeper. We talked a bit about possibly dating and all that. It was really nice. I took her hand and brought her fingers to my lips and gently kissed them. These conversations roughly followed:

#1
Casper- "You really like kissing my fingers, don't you?"
Tyler- "Mmm. When do I get to kiss you?"
Casper- "I dunno. I've never kissed a boy before."
Tyler- "It's not hard, but it's very special. The only thing you have to really think about is that you're going to have to say for the rest of your life that I was your first kiss."
Casper- "Yeah, true. That's not a bad thing. I'm pretty sure you'll be my first kiss. Does that make you feel special?"
Tyler- "Extremely."
Casper- "Good, because you are special."

#2 (Ps. These wonderful intimate times are often spread apart by monthly intervals)
Casper- "You know this probably won't happen again for a long time."
Tyler- "(Sadly) Yea, I know. It sucks. But maybe it's better in small doses."
Casper- "Yeah, maybe. Makes it more special. Do you think it's wierd that we have siblings in the room?"
Tyler- "A little bit. I think they're old enough to get it. Lol."

For those on the edge of your seat, no we did not brush lips. I'm willing to be as patient as I have to be. But Casper, (8) I just can't wait to call you mine! (8). She's amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
