Je Suis Ici

I am here...

And like Ms. Elise, I feel like I should be jumping through a window with someone saying something like "INTRODUCING.... magnificent MITCHELL!!" Or maybe that's just how I introduce myself to the world every morning.

Well ladies, we've come a long way! It's so exciting to see and hear about the fantabulous journies we've all had. Like Miss Elise I feel tremendously blessed to have each of you in my life. The last few months have been fabulous, to say the least. We've been able to hang out and party, and I've even had a chance to get much closer to a couple of you. Needless to say I'm uber excited about this blog and its potential. I only hope that the rest of you are as excited and use it frequently enough!

As far as my life goes, I graduated from Howard and got a job that I'm really enjoying. So that's pretty simple. I bought a car and I'm saving to buy a home next year. So that's pretty cool. But the biggest part of my life that has really been anything to really talk/think about is my love life. As you know, N and I broke up in July. It was a hard call to make at the time, but immediately after I felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulder. I started seeing other people - including an ex who will not be named (*cough*) lol - and I've had the chance to learn a whole lot about myself.

Now I'm seeing a really great guy (let's call him C), whom Katrina and Raquel have already had the chance to meet. He's really sweet, caring, driven, sexy and everything else I look for in a man. We have an incredible connection that is so great it almost scares me - especially since I never intended to be serious about someone so soon. The really hard part these days is that I miss N terribly. More, now, than I did over the first few months of our break-up total. It seems as though the closer I get to C the more I miss N. I remember all of the little things that N and I used to do that C and I won't (b/c he's not N) and can't (b/c that would be depressing and borderline pathetic). I haven't spoken to N in almost a month now. We used to speak at least periodically through text or something but lately its been nothing. I'm the one who broke up with him so I feel like he's needing his space at this point and plus I want to make sure I'm not sending any crazy/mixed signals. But ALL I want to do is call him. I mean,the honest truth is that I don't want to be with him anymore, I just miss what we once had. I miss him because I miss what we were. And now, it's hard to become intimate (and I'm not talking sexual) with someone new. Especially when the last relationship is so fresh on your mind and heart.

Sigh. Well that was a load off my mind. Sorry my intro post turned into a vidavisi blogger support group meeting lol.
