Almost Indescribable

[qos]

_storyteller_ got here safely on Monday night -- bearing roses! -- and we were pretty much inseparable until he went back to his apartment last night, after making me a marvelous dinner, doing dishes with me, massaging my feet and hands, and then just hanging out with me for a couple of hours.

It's been amazing. There is a deep feeling of being at ease with each other, of mutual excitement as well as low-key enjoyment of just being in each other's presence and getting the everyday tasks accomplished. There are so many differences between us in experience, but so many things we share that we don't find in many other people. For example: yesterday afternoon we were talking about making soundtracks for RPG characters -- a practice each of us initiated in our own groups, and later we spent time paging through his binder of of printouts of apocryphal literature, some of which I was familiar with and some I'd never heard of. We both like playing with blades.

There were misadventures with the apartment managers and the maintenance people -- like them arriving to install new carpet right as we were starting to move things in, and the moving truck getting its rear wheels stuck in a ditch, and etc. But there was nothing we couldn't manage. He and my daughter are hitting it off famously, which is great.

And then there are the aspects I'm not going to comment on in a public post, except to say: *swoon*.
