Twitterpation

I am in love. 

Actually I take the word "love" very seriously, so I'm not really in love, but slightly twitterpated. 

(My blog spell check is telling me it's not a word but I looked it up and it is.)

Anyway.

Remember that list of crushes I wrote. Well today in dance, Jake, brought his guitar. I told him that I was super jealous that he could play. I have attempted to play guitar once but failed because my hands were too small. 

He then informed me he started teaching himself this last May. 

That is 4 1/2 months ago. 

I wouldn't have known if he hadn't told me. 

And then during warm-up he started singing and I almost died. 

He might not sing like an angel, like Jordan,

but he CAN sing. 

Right when he started, I started smiling. I didn't stop until he did. 

I think he noticed.

Then after class he told he wanted to learn a country song. 

Didn't matter which one as long as it was sung in a low octave. 

I told him of my love for country

 and he told me to come back with a song for him to learn.

Maybe I'm silly but it made me happy.

On a more serious note, today I searched up family history for the first time. It was so cool. My great great great great grandfather, Lawrence Sticker, was a slave owner in the south and he was super rich. In 1820 he owned 9 slaves. Then 10 years later he didn't own any. Not that I condone slavery but I learned something really cool. 

It got me thinking. I wonder how he viewed the civil war. Was he a avid believer of the Confederate states becoming a separate country? 

It was a really neat experience.
