Most perfect date ever!!!!!1!!

Remember how I said that I probably wasn't going to go to Chicago? Well, it happened! Jonathan, Carrie and I hopped on the South Shore and merrily rode it to Randolph. We met up with my sweet Hannahbird and her boyfriend Nathan, just before they caught the next train back to SB, at Corner Bakery (sidenote: They have the BEST vegetarian panini that I've ever had) where we waited for another friend to join. I wish I could put into words how wonderful it was to just laugh and have everyone together, but I think you just had to be there. Anyway, after HB and Nathan left, the rest of the group went to H&M to get our fashion on. The group then parted ways, me heading to meet my dear friend Ben and they heading to Wicker Park.

Let me just say that Ben is great. No, not great, more like...amazingfantasticcutesexywonderful. Our date started at Intelligensia where we geeked out over coffee and photography. We then headed to Millenium Park and found a really cute, but barren, garden and I proceeded to prove to him that I am indeed a complete dork. This did not thwart him, however, because for some reason, he thought it was cute. We (and by that I mean that I) got hungry and we headed to the Thai restaurant across the street. While leaving the restaurant and heading back to the park, it started raining. One of my biggest dreams ever was to be kissed in the rain, and do you know what happened? That's right: He kissed me in the rain in downtown Chicago. It was perfect and beautiful and glorious. All great things must come to an end, and I had to leave him behind at the train station shortly afterward, but for real, it was the best date I've ever been on. Here's a photo:

We're cute.
