Whenever I come to 64Digits, I always think that I have to start being philosophical and very sophisticated around you guys because most of you know how to program and I see it as all of you are smart since you have developed a skill that is hard to develop. If I was in a site around morons, I wouldn't care about what I would write and just repost things or just not be there at all. But here, I always think that you guys are critical and deep-in-thought guys that I can't afford to give you something unsatisfying.

I want to talk about a short love story.

Valentine's Day is coming up, and for the first time in my life, I will have a girlfriend DURING Valentine's Day. This is exciting… I can finally feel like a part of a bigger group that is on a relationship, kind of like I'm going to a costume party with a costume. It's a pretty cool feeling of belonging.

Who is this girl?

I'll call her Owl (cause of her tattoo), and it's a girl I've grown rather fond of. I met her at work, and apparently she knew who I was before I even had a clue who she was. She always sounds so excited and in love when she tells me about the first interaction we had (which I barely remember). She talks about how we were both cashiering next to each other and how when she dropped a paper from her desk and I bent over to pick it up, I ran my eyes through her body checking her out while I was coming up, and that I told her in a playful voice, "Be careful with your papers, Owl!" I honestly don't remember this, but she does, and I guess that's when she started to notice me.

I didn't notice her until she kept trying to talk to me, then I was thinking, "oh hey, this girl might like me."

Skip to now, she was feeling very sick last night so I spent the night at her place since she's in a shitty living situation right now, and she felt better with my company (which is always heartwarming).

I like her because I've been very upfront with my own problems, and what I'm planning to do to fix them. I tell her a lot of things, and she responds reasonably to them. Even if she doesn't agree with what I say, if she gets pissed she still sticks around.

Yeah, we have problems, but who doesn't. I don't want to get into those, especially because I had a good night last night, even with missing a party so I can spend the night with her.

We're kind of like star-crossed lovers. She is not from this city and neither am I. This wasn't a job that she planned on keeping (Sam's Club, where we met) and it wasn't mine neither. She is a veterinarian technician while I am studying to be a radiologist. We did not grow up on the same times either.

But yet we're still together keeping each other company in a city where we did not come from.

Oh my Owl. If only you had met me a year ago, two years ago, 4 years ago.. you would have not recognized me at all.

I told her I am dead broke for Valentine's Day, and that i wouldn't be able to afford anything fancy (which is true), so I'm going to learn how to properly play/sing this song for her and play it for her on Valentine's Day as a gift:

I can almost already do it, but I have to master it by Friday!
