I had a good day. Good music, good weather, good conversation. Unfortunately my Valentine's date was one of my coworkers, I spent the day holed up in the Bay. Followed by a dose of Temptation Island, I don't know how I'll live without the show. What surprised me though, is the bickering couple, Tommy and Nicole ultimately ended up staying together. I assumed they were doomed, they couldn't talk without argueing. The guy hooked up with every girl on the island while the girl found her perfect guy. They broke up at the final bonfire but got back together. Kinda made me think. As Tommy said to her "I just don't think we bring out the best in each other". Interesting, interesting. Speaking of, why do we always want what we can't, or more accurately shouldn't, have? I ran into someone that I haven't seen for a while. He's a great guy and it's one of those things where although we're friends, I get nervous around him because there's this... I don't know how to describe it... this buzz of expectations and hopes and possibilities and anticipation around us. But for a bunch of reasons, it should not happen, and we both know it and I think that only builds the sensation. Either way, he made me smile, gave me butterflies, and made my day that much better. I'm still miffed at Josh, maybe that has something to do with it. Good job hunting news, I have a second interview for the place in Richmond Hill and they did a reference check. My boss is a lovely woman, she's been through a lot and after working with her for two years I have come to deeply respect her. Although some would say she's eccentric, she's just a very lonely woman and considers her employees second family. She gave me an amazing reference today, just like she did for the last job I got. Things are looking up. I had a moment in my car driving home. Pitch black outside, I'm exhausted, a chill in the air. Speeding down one of the roads, no traffic. Had my dance mix of House of Pain pounding and it was so... everything.

"I'm a rainbow with you."
