I did it. I finally worked up the nerve to tell LibraryBoy that I dig him. I nearly threw up all over the keyboard, but I managed to type the words. Meaghan can atest, as I was talking to her at the same time, and it was at her urging that I finally came out with it.

I think he was rather stunned upon hearing the information, and didn't say anything one way or the other. He was all like, "I think you're really swell too." What the EFF?! So basically, he didn't say anything one way or the other, and it was kind of a let's-see-how-it-goes thing.

And now, of course, he's acting like I never said anything which freaks me out beyond anything. I mean, did it really happen? Am I hallucinating?

I was just talking to him, and he signed off with "CNN just had this to say...You are swell." Huh? We had a conversation once about how CNN doesn't always tell the truth, which makes me wonder. Then again, I'm probably reading too much into it.

Boys should come with an instructions manual.
