As for internet relationships, I’ve spent a lot of time on-line with various people, getting to know them in such a different way than you get to know people when there are two bodies in the way of the mind meld that occurs with writing. I have no doubt but that it’s a great thing.

Many times I’ve thought about how there are people on the planet who I would never speak to in person because of their looks or whatever vibe I take from them, yet on-line that all disappears and you meet wonderful people without the extraneous crap. It’s more of a “soul” attraction than an appearance thing.

Sometimes I think people should have to wear shirts or buttons that describe who they really are, or pictures of them as babies or teenagers before they become middle-aged overweight women or 30 somethings with bad skin & neck tattoos.

Thanks for sending me the link to one of the most romantic things I’ve ever read. And I love romance:) Now I have to read more to see what’s happened since . . .

Trena: Awesome. I love this. Apparently they need sites for the five or six people left in the world who haven’t met the love of their life online. I’ve had e-love stories coming out of the woodwork since i went public with this. Thanks for the story, it means a lot.

I still come over here and read occasionally. I just wanted to add my two cents that it is totally possible–come June, my husband and I will have been married for 4 years. And yes, we did meet online.

Long story short–all my friends had gotten married/found someone and I…well, I hadn’t. So I had big plans to move to Vegas for Grad School and decided to join some group site to see if I could make friends/contacts in Vegas before moving there. Lo and behold, I ended up ‘chatting’ with some guy (my now husband) who lived in Virginia of all places (totally opposite direction from where I was heading). We just clicked. I can’t count the number of times that I went to work on 2 hours of sleep because we were up talking all night long. A year and a couple of months later, we were married. Now we also have the boy and are trying to make a sibling happen for the boy.

Now I will say that it hasn’t always been easy, but I think that’s normal for any relationship, regardless of how you meet. Meeting online and being so far away from each other in the beginning was really nice because it made us really have to talk and get to know each other, rather than all the meaningless crap that tends to get in the way when you’re really there.

So congrats!!!

I can say I am absolutely astounded by your words. I am new to yours and Em’s blogs so I can’t say I “know” either one of you very well. I can also tell you no one can write something like that and not mean it. Even with your differences, it sounds as though the two of you were made for each other. You are both very lucky to have found someone you can love as deeply as you do. I think it’s wonderful.

And I’m fucking jealous.

thats very exciting!!!

fuck me thats a lot of money…
atleast hes working his magic

i forgot to ask … its obviously past tuesday now how’d your court stuff go? im assuming you didnt end up in jail? unless your in one kick arse jail that gives you internet.

Romi: Well I’m glad my perspective actually helps SOMEBODY when it’s crazy chick mode time, cause it sure as hell never helps me. Women need an instruction manual. Y’all are crazy sometimes, great, but crazy. I’m just lucky Em is more logical and reasonable when it comes to crazy chick stuff than average girls. Good lord, I’ve had some serious WTF’s happen in my time.

PS: likewise, I love you like a brother, ab-so-freakin’-lutely! Can’t wait to meet you, and you’ll start livin’ that happiness 3-D style soon enough, I know it
