it's way past my bedtime but i simply have to write about what happened tonight.

1) i spent time with someone i'm truly inspired by and i'm .... honored to be his friend. without a doubt, he is wonderful.

and then

2) i came home to the world's largest dog in my apartment. i was confronted by my neighbor asking "is that your dog?" when i came home around 8:45pm and when i left i saw him laying down with his head and ears perked as if to say "i'm okay here. i'm just watching. don't worry about me". and i fell in love with him.

around midnight i came home and my roommate had adopted him for the night because he was found cold and crying at our front door. i was ecstatic. a gorgeous and gigantic dog in my apartment. and all i wanted to do was sit on the ground next to him and kiss him and hug him. i wish i could keep him :(

hearing the sound of his paws as he walks through the apartment in other rooms while i sit in my bed writing this post.... i love him. really.
