Luck

Okay, so as I think I've said before I met my boyfriend online. He and I were friends for about two and a half years before we got together. He'd known me since I was an idiot freshman freaking out cause the hot guy in math doesn't talk to me(not sure if I actually freaked about that, but it sounds like something I would have whined about) He's also the guy that put up with me whining about guys treating me like crap, and whatever other stupid problems I've had since 2nd semester of freshman year.

What I never really talk about is the sheer luck involved in this. And as far back as I've gone for myself its kinda crazy.
So in 2005 I joined Gaia, eventually I found an artist who had links to his DeviantArt, this took me almost two years to do. And I only registered on DeviantArt because I wanted to follow this guy's art, cause he was damn good. Already this involves some serious luck, finding an artist who is actually good, who also has an account, on that specific site.
Then at the beginning of 09 I met Him, one of us just happened to find something the other had posted, and just happened to like it. Then we just happened to keep talking, and talking, and talking. Yeah, I've made few true friends on that site, few people that I talked to for more than a few days. But he and I kept talking, and then flirting. That summer we found out that we only lived on opposite sides of the same damn state. Considering how many of my friends are not even in my country its would have been amazing to find out he was American, but finding out he was in the same state was insane. I honestly dont think I would still be with him if he were really far away. Also, that summer we talked about meeting, and admitted to being in love with eachother. Then we friendzoned eachother, because we were idiots! (well we might still be idiots, but I think he's pretty smart, so I really dont know)

Getting him in my life was some serious luck. Keeping him there was even more luck, I've been told I'm not easy to deal with at best. While we didnt meet that year, or even the year after. (though I found proof that we whined about wanting to that year) We stayed friends, we stayed close.

Then finally, in late May we confessed our love(AGAIN) and got together. About two years overdue, but it happened!
I honestly think most sane people would have quit and moved on. Nope! Not us dumbasses!
Looking back it makes me laugh so much at how silly we were, and makes me even happier that I have him now.
Hun, if you read this; having you in my life is incredible, and I love you so much.

Meeting someone you know from the internet, and what its like

       If you spend much time on sites like Gaia or DeviantART you eventually start talking to other people on the site(probably) and possibly make a few friends there. Now, maybe there's a friend that you've grown especially close to. And there may or may not be some degree of romantic interest involved. Now you really want to meet this person in real life, rather than remain pixels on a screen forever. But you have no idea what it would be like to finally meet this person... Want to know something about what it may be like? An experience that has actually happened? Does this sound remotely interesting? If so, keep reading.


       This happened to me, I met this guy over two years ago on the site DeviantART, one of us found something the other had posted and liked it, this led to a conversation starting out as just a simple "thank you" that led to many other long conversations over time. I reread old conversations recently, and even two years ago we talked about meeting in person, just never got around to making plans to do so. But despite those never planned out ideas we kept talking, and flirting. Going on webcam many times, and at one point exchanging cellphone numbers. Until finally this summer we made concrete plans to meet up. I was to meet him at the train station one morning, and then we'd go from there.


     That day I went to the station early in the morning (well early by my standards anyway) and waited. And the moment I saw him get off the train was surreal. No matter how much you talk to someone online or on a cellphone its still a little strange to see them right there in person. Because part of you still doesnt quite know what to imagine. There is an element of "This is really happening?" during that whole first encounter. It is a wonderful experience, to finally meet someone you've grown so close to over time, but it is also very surreal and strange.


     And so very worth getting up early for.
