Flashback: let's 'party like it's 1999' to begin...
Junior year of high-school. I'm bored. So, I start following the trends and getting online (on our really slow-ass dial-up pos computer). I try out some chat rooms, and finally end up in the Cincinnati room on Yahoo. When I get in, a random man says hi to me, nicknamed Reverend_Vampyr. I look at his profile, see that he's kinda cute, but 8 years older than me. So, I decide that I'll just talk with him, but nothing should come of it. I gained one of the best friends I've ever had, even though I never met him.
Fastforward: 2 years later, November 2002...
I'm finally convinced to meet this guy. I head down to his place one night, and pretty much get lost on the way (I don't know Kentucky very well). I'm really nervous, because I really like him - online. I'm afraid I won't like him much without a keyboard and a few miles between us. But, I meet him. I wear jeans and a white button-up shirt. I look hot, to me, anyway. Apparently to him, too - he had a huge grin on his face. (I actually don't remember much at this point - I can't remember if I met him a second time or if this all happened in one night... anyway... more of the story.) It's really awkward for both of us. I know he wants to cuddle up and stuff, but I'm not feeling it. I try to relax, but for some reason I just can't. We go see The Ring at the Levee, which is great. And we come back to his place. It's still awkward, but oh, well.
A Little Further: Sometime in April, 2003...
I'm down in Cincy for Katie's bachelorette party, and decide to hook up with Blake again. I want to go to High on the Hill to find something kinky for Katie. I end up getting something for myself. Then, we head to Hustler and Blake gets me a little something there ;-) Anyway, it's better this time. Though I won't show him the "somethings" in action. Maybe sometime.
IMPORTANT
I've been talking to Blake online for four years now. He's listened to my shit, my problems, my highs, my lows. He's been there for me, talked with me, calmed me down, made me laugh and smile. Through (because of) all this... I'm falling in love with him. I think.
Fastforward again: Thanksgiving 2003...
So, meet up with him over break? Definitely. I gotta see if I really am falling for him. So, Tuesday night I head to Blake's to hang out. All of a sudden, things clicked. Splat. Concrete. I fell completely, right then and there. It's bliss. Tomorrow I head with Blake to his friend Ben's in Lexington. We're all cute and together and stuff, though I feel really young! It doesn't matter, though. A few days later we go to Dave and Buster's and have fun playing pool and skeeball. Man, this is perfect.
Next frame: December 10, 2003...
It's decided - we're officially together! Even though I'm in Hiram and he's in Covington, we're together! And, it's absolutely wonderful. Blake comes up to see Revels (twice!) and stays the weekend. He's introduced to Dad, and then to Mom, Grandma, Aunt Kathy, and my cousin Katie. Everyone likes him! :-D
Present day: Well, pretty much...
Christmas break has been heaven. I've been with Blake just about every day. Even Christmas! I spent the first weekend with him, meeting his family. It seemed like everyone liked me, which is good - I value family opinions. He came over on Christmas and met all of my family (I've heard no complaints so far:-). Since then it's just been so much fun hanging out with him. We've watched movies, lounged, played pool, and even mini-golfed! So now, while he's back at work, I sit and type this long-ass entry. I'm sitting here at his home, on his computer, talking to him online... but I miss him so much. It's going to be hard to go back to Hiram. Ah, well...
Loaf ewe, babe.
