I think I might be buying accounts for people who's livejournal I enjoy. There's a few I've been reading for awhile and would like to see stick around.

Just for curiousity, and wanting to pry into everyones lives..

I have a guy I've been off and on with since October. We met when he sparked my interest by being knowledgable on rock music. That and his kindness struck me most about him. He was really cool. Nice to meet you, welcome to LJ.

[sarahjessica]

Thanks, nice to meet you too, oh, and love your talent.

It's good to have a lot in common when you first meet someone... it just stirs up the conversation better than standing there going, duh.

To anyone who has a significant other (gay or straight):
How did you meet? What struck you most about this person? How is the relationship now?

How did we meet? Hmm. He was staying with a good friend of mine. I like to at least make an attempt to get to meet everyone I can (if only by adding & reading the journals at first, commenting when I have .02 to add). I was actually still in a relationship at the time, well... it was in the middle of ending. Badly. Our first few conversations were mainly joking around, teasing her - her being the mutual friend he was staying with. After my relationship collapsed, he offered to take me out on the town to help me forget about things for an evening - just as friends. Nothing more was suggested or hinted at. Things between us sparked... and voila. There you have it, we're dating now. And what struck me most about him? His compassion. His intelligence (I love reading heis entries). Just... so many things about him.

Meeting people through mutual friends: good idea.
Having mutual friends set you up on a blind date: bad idea.

I think I tell this story way too many times, but here goes:

Hugh and I were working on Bruce McDonald's flick "Hard Core Logo," but before the filming actually started, Bruce sent me to tour with Hugh and his band, just to get the feel of what it's like being in a band. The first time we met, it was like the clash of the fucking Titans. We circled each other like enemies, pushing and challenging each other until he decided I was a good guy. He gave me his Headstones ring and a bracelet to wear, and I was as good as his.

After that, we got into the movie and each other. When filming ended, we went off to do our own thing, but we always came back to each other. Somewhere along the line, we realised that we were in love with each other, so of course, we'd freak out and not see each other for long periods of time.

We're just now settling down with each other, learning to be in love and learning to say it without any fear. It's been eight years of love and friendship and learning, though. Wouldn't give it up for the world.

It's always great to have a good friendship during a relationship. The ability to trust and be able to open up with ease is just amazing.

Isn't it ironic how you find out how much you love a person when they're gone?.. yet so close to the heart?

[billy_tallent]

Well, absence does make the heart grow fonder, like my mum always told me. When they're gone, you spend most of your time thinking of all the little things they did to drive you crazy, and then you realise how much you miss those little things.

[sarahjessica]

Then there's the relationships where the little things that drove us crazy, really did drive us crazy... and you didn't miss them at all.

Hmm..let's see. Bob and I met at the VH1 Music Awards a couple years ago, I've always been somewhat interested in him. His 'don't give a shit' attitude struck my curiosity. For the most part, it's going well. *smiles* How about you?

[sarahjessica]

Wow, so long ago, but I remember as if it were yesterday.

I met him in 1991.. late November to be exact. I was visiting my brother Tim who was in a play. As I was backstage hanging out with Tim, he wanted to introduce me to the director of the play.. who just happened to be Matthew. Matthew and I talked up a storm and basically left my brother hanging there as if he were invisible. We remained friends for a little while. After three months, Matthew popped the question, "hey, can I take you out some time?". A year later, we moved in together. At first I thought it was risky, but it ended up being one of the best choices I have ever made. Then back in '97, I opened my big mouth on the David Letterman show, saying how I would looove to marry Matthew. Then, BAM. Right after the show, he proposed.
May 19, 1997, we married.

Happy? EXTREMELY. I'm carrying his baby for chrissakes ;)

[pam_anderson]

Sarah, that is so sweet. I admire the marriage you two have. I haven't had the best of luck in the love department, but it looks as if that's changing. How far along are you?

[sarahjessica]

Five months. I should be ready to pop in late fall.

You LOOK happy, so I hope you are happy. That's all that matters.

I was introduced to Guy by Sting and his wife Trudie. I was at dinner at their home, and this incredibly interesting, ruggedly handsome man was there too. There weren't instantaneous sparks or anything, we took a bit of getting warmed up to each other. But we all talked for hours and had a great time. Dear Sting and Trudie knew we would be right for each other and they had good instinct there.
Our relationship is strong. We like to kid around with each other... and it sometimes appears we mock each other, but it's out of total and complete love. Our child brought us even closer and made our bond even stronger ::smiles::

[sarahjessica]

and what came out of that? children that are drop dead gorgeous. ;)
