Hey all MsG's computer at work has crashed so she'll be on and emailing and such as soon as it's back up.

OK so let's examine the issues of the long distance thing further. I mean I sorta believe it's an impossible scenario for anyone to make a valid judgment. The only times you'd see each other would be for a visit and come on everyone loves vacation. It would always seem like the person is perfect and makes the world a happy shiny place. There's no way you'd see what they're like in everyday life and find out if you two are really compatible.

Basically I've thought way too much about the difficulty of starting a long distance relationship and I don't see any solution other than taking the plunge and that's just not my style. Is there anything I'm missing?

Ya know Zeek, I'm really glad you're around with this incredible view. Some of can be very compulsive with the decisions we make about love. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind taking the chance. Seems I'd gone too long feeling nothing that a little pain isn't that much of a bother. It's that whole numb and indifferent thing that seems to do the most damage.

As for long distance, yeah, I can see how not having contact with someone everyday can be the relationship killer quicker than anything else. But the vacation idea is an awesome one. I'm sure most of us would be taking better vacations if we had such a great incentive.

'Neko darlin', I'm so glad you've had time to plan, plot, and scheme. It does a heart good to keep hopes and dreams afloat in the midst of our everyday existence in the mundane and stressful jobs we choose to love. Seems we might have to meet you're fella eventually but too bad it ain't like the usual "Meet a loved ones other" session. Mine usually consists of some poor little Mexican fella cowering in submission the first few times I meet him. Seems my sisters squeeze put on his running shoes when I told her to tell him to quit sitting on the sidelines 'til I left. He needs to come over and say Hi or something. Tired of shady f&^%$#&s. He took my aggressive stance fairly well.
I just love being assertive.

So I'm rambling and typing really slow right now. Seems the last week caught up with me and I had a fair amount of rums last night. Not enough to hurt right now, but definately enough to feel good for a few hours. Still ain't sleeping right. Went to bed at 3 AM and got up at 7. Mindy noticed how charged I've been lately and seems to want me around more. Supposed to have dinner at her house tonight with the kids. I think I'm actually gonna ask her out on a date. Seems as long as we've known eachother there are still a few things we haven't done. Who here has never been to a movie with their best friend? (Raises hand) Am I the only one?

Yep I'm getting no where as well. Heck if I was willing to move for a girl why wouldn't I already be picking up and moving to go chase after you?

Ah, you say the nicest things. ;) If you chase, I promise not to run too fast.

'Neko, I vote for Zeek's idea of a summer spent with they guy. You live in paradise, yes? So sublet your place, take an extended vacation and see how it is to be with him for more than just a week or so.

IMO, it is difficult to move to someone else's town. They have a life already built and don't necessarily understand why you don't feel at home like they do. I have a friend who moved from CA to OH and was miserable in everything but love...until, that is, they sold his house and moved to a place/town of their own. Once they were both on unfamiliar territory it got easier and they were able to start building a life together instead of her trying to fit into his old life.

Okay, I used to have this reoccuring dream about running away with some chica in a jet black '54 Ford pickup. But seems those days may be over and there has to be room for car seats and the like so I am looking to build a rod like this:

Don't it just look like something and anti hero of the fifties and sixties woulda drove on the drive in movie screen?

Who else has reoccuring dreams? I never really had enough reason to run from the relatively safe place my roots bind me to so why would there be some underlying reason to run in my dreams.

Hey I have recurring nightmares...does that count:)

I'm pretty sure a baby seat would fit in the back of that car, but considering the number of seats you'll need plus the odd of kid spilling milk on your seats...maybe the mini van is the way to go :)

Love the vacation concept Zeek...like a long distance booty call with more appeal( due to love and all)

Thanks guys.

Yep, might do a summer break visit...a month with my geek sounds like something I'd like to do/try. (Subletting might be out with the contract I have though..)

NVG: Iff'n I ever get in your area with my geek ('Vegas was close enough, right?), I'll have you meet both of us. (My luck, you'll think he deserves better than me -- kidding!) Oh, and I haven't been to a movie with my geek yet....watched DVDs yes, to the movie theater? Nope.

Recurring dreams: Once or twice...but it's been a while. And, the running away might've been more of a running to something? (A safer, saner location and future maybe?) 'Course, with me being in an overall giddy mood with the sparkage I could be wrong.

Okay. Day's almost through. (Yay.) Somewhere along the way though, I've lost my mind, so today is the day for me to find it. (I hope.)

ETA: GG -- nope, not bringing any video games or the like with me when I see my geek. My geek knows me as "geek light" or "diet geek" (used to be an EE major that same lifetime ago -- of course I'd be part geek ).

(points to whomever gets my refrence. )

This out of context moment brought to you by Fruity Oaty Bars, they're not just for kick @$$ ladies!

My wife and I knew each other for 5 years before we got married, and lost touch for 3 of those. We spent 2 years writing letters(this is before the internet was anything but a college thing), and talking on the phone. Worked for us, especially because we were unable to visit each other(across the country from each other). So my 2 cents are: spend some time with him, and remember, geeks are shy, gentle creatures. Bring a video game to lure him from his den.

OK way too sleepy today. Which is annoying cause I was all good and went to sleep by 11 last night. It's just that my dumb brain woke me up at like 5am and took forever to fall back asleep. My kitty even started to complain about my tossing and turning.

*meow* = "what's your problem I'm trying to sleep here"
