Profane]

Started planning a camping trip for me and the boyfriend, because I've always wanted to go camping, really go camping, the way I never got to as a kid and the way he never got to as a kid. Both of us, together, forging the memories we should have forged back then.

Back before we started dating, we used to lay around at his friend's house talking until the small hours of the morning. There is a certain album we would listen to, and last night he put it on my ipod. I said I wanted to listen to it again, and that I didn't want to have sex if we were going to listen to it.

In Sociology, I read that things are either sacred or profane, with no inbetween. That disconnect between sacred and profane, I feel somehow that the album, that period of time before we were dating is sacred, and having sex during that album would be to taint the memory, would be to make it something else, something different, something physical and tangible instead of the way it really was.

And he understood.

Amazing.
