December 23rd:
I went to the mall today to get some last minute gifts for my family, and I met this girl. She was beautiful. Long pink hair in curly pig-tails. Her cheeks, a cute shade of red. Her smile made my heart sink. For some reason, I worked up the courage to talk to her, which is not like me at all. Said her name was Momoka, which I found to be just as cute as she was. I introduced myself and we started talking about how hectic Christmas was, what the right gifts were, etc. She even helped me out finding what to get my little brother for Christmas. I couldn't get over how nice she was. Still can't. Then, in a possible lapse of reason, I asked if she would be doing anything Christmas night. She replied, "No.". Her eyes shifted a bit, as if she was a bit shy. SO CUTE~! I asked her if she'd like to maybe go for a coffee or something. Fuck, writing this now made me realize how lame that was. She said, "Sure.". I couldn't belive it. Did that really just happen? Someone like me, is going out on a Christmas date with someone as cute as her. I still can't believe it. So, we exchanged numbers and promised to call each other tomorrow. Here's hoping for the best.

Finally worked up the nerve to call her today. It was around, hell, 2-2:30? We talked for a bit before she threw a curve ball at me. She asked if it was cool if we hung out today. I seriously felt my heart skip a beat. I said, "Sure.", but my fucking voice cracked while saying it. So fucking stupid. Felt like throwing my phone against the fucking wall, but I heard her giggle, which calmed me down a bit. We decided to meet up at the local park. Of course, I get there late, like a boss(that was sarcasm, by the way). Thankfully, she understood and we went on or way. I should probably mention some more things about her, shouldn't I? She seems to be into just about everything, even anime, which kinda surprised me. We immediately started to talk about all the awesome anime that aired this year, what sucked a dick, and what we were looking forward to next year. So, as we started to head back to our cars, get this, some douchebag hit a fucking puddle and got her coat soaked. I, being the gentleman I am, offered her my coat. She was hesatent at first, but I opened the trunk of my car and showed her my spare jacket and ensured her that I wouldn't get cold. She smiled and humbly took my coat, which, by the way, we touched hands. I felt as if I was in a gravity chamber, and it was turned up to 100g. I looked away. I knew MY face was red. I glanced at her before we parted and it seemed her cheeks were redder than they were before. I don't know, but, am I falling for her? In just 24 hours? I don't know, but, I guess time will tell, huh?

Had fun with the family today. My brother was freaking estatic over the gift I got him, thanks in part by Momoka. Speaking of, I called her just a few minutes ago just to make sure we were still going to get coffee and whatnot later(still feel like a fucking loser for saying that...). Plans have so far not changed and we are good to go. I'm going to end the journal entry for now and get prepared for my date.
OH, MY GOD. I think I've had the BEST CHRISTMAS EVER. Let me start off at the begining. So, we decided to get some Starbucks. I got the Venti White Chocolate Mocha, as always, and she got the seasonal Cinnamon whatchamadoodle. I can't remember what it's called. We drove around for a bit, listening to some Miku(like a fucking weeb, I know), before we got to the middle of town to watch the lighting of the tree. We sat at a nearby bench and discussed how our holiday went. She smiled as I told her how happy my brother was about his gift that she helped me pick out. We sat in the cold for a bit, and wouldn't you know it? It started to snow. I seriously felt like I was in some sort of a dating-sim. Oh, boy, just you wait. As we sat there, she out of nowhere asked me if I believed in love at first sight. I WAS drinking some of my warm coffee before I blew it all over my face. She laughed and got out a hankerchief and wiped my face off. After a few awkward chuckles, she asked again. I replied, "Well, do you?". She said, "To an extent.". She then looked over at me. God, you never realize how beautiful ones eyes are unitl you look at them face to face. There was a crowd around us now as the mayor started counting down the lighting. I figured it was now or never. If she wasn't serious, she would pull away, but she didn't. I placed my hand on her's as we started to lean in toward each other. For some reason, the sound of the crowd started to fade out. We kissed right then and there. To think, I would be kissing some girl I only met 2 days ago. Is this what they call a Christmas miracle? Whatever. As I write this, I can still feel the warmth of her lips on mine. It's crazy. We're going to hang out again tomorrow. Is this the start of a brand new chapter in my life? Will I have found the girl I've been searching for all these years? I guess I'll update you tomorrow. Until then.

I thought this was adorable. Honestly, the innocence can't be turned down. Also, the format is really neatly done in journal format, even.

Good show TPO. I liked the use of the journal form, since I always have issues writing much in first person.
