Rockstar Boyfriend

Dan is playing his first show with the band since November tonight. It's at a small-town bar near SUNY Fredonia and it's times like these I am jealous of anyone who gets to go out and see them. It's weird to think that I have actually only seen Dan play music in Fredonia (essentially my hometown) once - and it was roughly 4 years ago prior to me even knowing who he was! I am greatly looking forward to seeing him play (and sing) while I am home for spring break. It's somewhere they have never played before too so it's even a new atmosphere.

I know he reads this and he will probably later make fun of me for being a sap but I'm going to say this anyway: I am so proud of him.
One of the biggest things that I find attractive in a guy is passion. I don't mean passion for me (although that does eventually become important!) but a passion for something that isn't me. A love for something that runs deep and drives a person to set great goals for themselves. I myself am an extremely goal oriented person. I think this stemmed from all the competing in figure skating I did for the majority of my life. A person needs to love something for themselves...to find an outlet. Dan always jokes about how I will be the one bringing home the bacon someday, but I think he is more talented than he realizes. We are our own worst critics no? He has nothing to worry about because his good looks and charm will get him far. ; )
I don't know what my future holds...I know what I want it to, but life is a game and you can't see the route you will take to the win. Whatever the outcome of my goals, I will always support Dan in his dreams and passions - I know he will do the same for me, and certainly has thus far.

I guess I just wanted to write this because I feel very lucky to be a part of his life and share all of these musical experiences that he is involved in. He has taught me so much. It's a shame I won't be able to tell him all about the gorey stuff I learn in medical school someday!
