"Can't help it"

So, life for me seems to be rather interesting lately.

There is, of course, the insanity of classes and work and all that.

But there's also the crazy in a never-saw-that-coming, wonderful, amazing way. Story time?

So, if you haven't caught on by now, most of the guys I hang out with all belong to the same frat, and I'm rather close to several of them and at least know all of them moderately well. The first week of classes, it became very painfully clear to me that my him, despite anything he said or promised, was chasing after his ex as hard as he could and not giving me a second thought. And, like I did last semester, I got a little drunk one night because of this. And as I did last semester, I ended up getting sick and doing a lot of crying. One of the guys in the frat took care of me, while I cried and called my him a fucking bastard and liar and several other choice phrases over and over again. And then I started apologizing, at which point he stops me, turns me to look at him, and says more sincerely than I have ever heard anyone say anything that I shouldn't be sorry and that he was sorry this was happening to me.

I ended up falling asleep on top of him and he spent the night sitting on a couch with me lying on him because he was afraid of waking me up.

The next day, I had a hangover, which sucked but was also great because 1. it taught me my lesson about drinking and 2. made me realize that there was no way my him was worth it, leading to me getting over him so quickly and completely I shocked myself.

The day after that, I went back to the frat and ran into said guy [SS] and was slightly awkward about it. People were putting up posters for rush, so he and I ended up taking a postering route together and he again repeated that he was sorry and asked if I needed to talk. Amazingly, I did talk to him [I've been so bad about actually talking to people lately] and it was great. He made me dinner, we hung out, etc. Then N convinced the two of us to go swimming the next morning and we agreed. Let me tell you, walking outside in freezing weather before the sun in order to go swimming is a good way to make you feel like youre crazy.

We ended up getting breakfast together afterward, and repeated this later that week. And hung out at other times. And started being really flirty with each other. You get the point. There are more details, but you really don['t need them.

Anyway, yesterday morning he looks at me and asks "So we're an item now, aren't we?"

So, a week and a half ago i was miserable. A week ago my life was going great. And now, life is fantastic. I have a boyfriend who is a legitimately sweet guy and is making me go into that giddy excitement that only thing like this cause. I really couldn't ask for more.
