so changed my facebook relationship status. Is it wierd that doing that makes things 'official' somehow? I gotta admit, it's got me feeling all fluttery and excited and a little nervous. I'm actually very shy about writing this down on here. Although it's one of those affairs that makes you want to shout it out on the rooftops, but perhaps this is precisely why I've wanted to keep it to myself a little longer. Like that one illicit chocolate bar you savor when you think now one else is looking. Somehow the secrecy of it makes it better somehow. That song by Damian Rice "Delicate" comes to mind:

We might kiss when we are alone
When nobody's watching
We might take it home
We might make out when nobody's there
It's not that we're scared
It's just that it's delicate.

Or perhaps, Mount Holyoke woman that I am, the very thought of surrendering some of my autonomy and independance in order to tie myself to another is just plain scary. I used to think that the boys I've dated were all commitaphobic, but maybe I was the one with all the issues. 

But here I am, shouting from the rooftops. So to speak.
