Dear Journal,
I found myself upset most of yesterday. Leaving the house marked the beginning of a seemingly endless day. Freeway traffic was at a standstill for over an hour, finally out of traffic I caught every red light possible in the metro area, and arriving at work late made dealing with coworkers harder than normal, though I still remembered to wear my nice guy smile and bring in a box of eclairs, forgetting to take my own before my coworkers left me an empty box. I can recall wanting my day to end just as soon as it started. My long hard day of work only earned me a broken mirror, a flat tire, two lost credit cards and storm-like rain falling abruptly, with no warning. I had hoped slamming my house door would mark the end of my exhausting day. My girlfriend was usually home about a half an hour before I was, and she was in the kitchen cooking, and in a better mood than I was. I chose not to speak as I came in, instead I sat on the couch and rubbed my eyes. After what seemed like 5 minutes, a glass of Jack Daniels slid in front of my face, and my girlfriend began to rub my shoulders, wisely choosing not to ask what was wrong. I quickly swallowed the glass of Jack Daniels. She began to kiss my neck and cheek from behind to console me.
Journal, it is very important that you know of my girlfriend's quiet and passive demeanor, a good girl if you will, a perfect match to my conservative nice guy personality. As she continued to place kisses her hair fell forward towards my nose to tickle my face and give me a noseful of its aroma. I want to believe that it was my terrible day that made me get up from the couch, pull my girlfriend up by her arms and kiss her wildly as I backed her up against the wall. Where I had usually caressed her face and kissed her softly, I had a fistful of her hair, pulling it back as I sucked and bit her neck. I could feel her resisting in confusion, this only drove me more wild.
