I made out like a bandit! But seriously, I feel so loved right now.

Oh, and apparently, Sarah, he would have asked me to prom regardless. But, heh, he seemed to find your conversation amusing. And, eh, at least he's done with the asking now. I don't have to wait for it.

All in all, twas an excellent day. I'm quite grateful to all my friends who wished me a happy birthday or participated in the chipotle and/or movie.
