Talked to Tal last night. Got bored and bit lonely, so I called her. We only talked for a few minutes, but it was nice. Then tonight while I was driving, she called me again! For those who dont know the background on the steps leading to breakirng up: the MAIN problem was that we never talked, she was never around when I called, never engaged in the conversation when we did talk and never called, and our conversations were always mad short. So she called me again, had a good, normal conversation and got off the phone once I reached my destination [the office] a half hour later, at which point she told me to call her when I got home. So I did, and I helped her with her math homework, I lectured her on getting more sleep, she lectured me on cleaning my apartment and drinking less, she told me she loved me and said sweet dreams, we talked for a good 40 minutes. Ya know, laughing, smiling, flirting in a somewhat non-committal/playful manner, fucking awesome conversation. And I got to help her with her math homework again [I used to all the time when we started dating and it was sorta awesome]! It's like right before we started dating, where we still got giddy and butterfly-ful for every phone call, even though it was just about pre-calculus and we were both usually pre-occupied with other things. What we're doing right now is what normal couples do [though less successfully in many cases. since they havent lost anything yet] when they see a problem in their relationship and work to fix it without breaking up.

And for once, I'm not over-analyzing a few good conversations. I'm going with it. I love her. She loves me. It is weird not to say that at the end of a conversation. But it helps alot that before we dated, we had a few months where we *couldnt* be together because of distance and such. We got through that. As we will through this.

I'm not scared right now. I'm not overly hopeful. I'm barely even anxious. I'm just content for the moment. I love her

Plus, she wants me to call her tomorrow night after work
