She’s not quite the girl next door.
February 1st, 2005
I met this completely gorgeous and awesome girl about a month back. And like most relationship in my she has 1 small fatal flaw. She lives on the other side of the continent in another country. That’s like 3,500 miles away yo!.
My younger cousin told me that a couple of her friends remember me from a visit many many years back, and they were apparently joking about how cute I was and which one of them could win my affection, or something like that. I guess my cousin was trying not to tell me too much due to some secret code of sisterhood.
I met one of the girls, and she was amazing. We had a great chat over coffee and while we wondered around the local video store. Overall a nice interaction, and I don’t think she noticed the few times when I stumbled over myself. I was going back home the next day, and we parted ways with hopes of maybe meeting again someday or possibly coming out to visit me.
I figure the only way I could ever make anything manifest out of all this was to follow through. I vowed to either write her an email about once a week or just drop the whole thing. Apparently my first 2 attempts at making contact failed. A technical glitch!?! My free e-mail provider screwed something up, and I lost about a week’s worth of e-mail. IMPORTANT e-mail! I switched to a more reliable and commercial provider.
Yesterday I thought I’d give it one more try. I sent a real short and simple email to her, not expecting to hear back. I had to try, right? I heard back from here this morning! I doubt anything will come of this all, but she seems really awesome, and I really want to get to know her, and hopefully spend some time with her.
