Well.....about me....

I fell in love with someone far far away, (thanks to the net.....),
she lives close on 15,000 miles away from memory, on the USA'a east
coast, after having had talked and written which would have come into
the hundred(s) or so letters, sent pictures, phone calls ( all up for
both of us like US $ 7500), and whatever else, I flew to the US in
December/Janruary (Well, it *was* New Years Eve!), we finally actually
met, and well, it was the most wonderful 5 weeks so far in my life, I
am still very much in love with her... (Hmmmm.... that is all another
story....), I neatly DIDNT come home, but I did... I dont hear from
her that much any more as she is working in Italy for the summer
*sigh* , I would like to think that we could like be together for some
major time distance, but at the present that really depends on her,
and if it was to happen, it wouldnt like happen for the next 4 or 5
years at least...  I am planning to visit her again either next summer
(summer for the Northern part of the big rock) or winter...so like in
1 or 1 1/2 years....  *sigh*

	Morgana was getting restless.  But she was calm compared to
the horses.  There was plently of room for her to pace in the cave.
But Elerin and Cephian were anxious to get out and have a good run.

	It had only been a couple days since she had "disturbed"
Trog's sleep, and she knew it might take them at least a couple more
days to reach her... Then they would have to find her and move the
wretched tree!. 

	Her energy level had suddenly increased, this was not a good
sign under the circumstances.  She had reorganized the few belongings
she had brought with her several times.  She had brushed the horses
'til they glowed and wouldn't let her near them.

	It was the middle of the night when she awoke feeling like she
had been lying with a rock in her back.  At first she started to
panic, until she realized that she had rolled over onto what seemed
like a boulder!  She knew she was being entirely too jumpy.

	Morgana decided it was time to check in on Trog to be sure he
hadn't found some pleasant diversion to slow him down.  She sat by the
low fire and gathered her thoughts and reached out to him.  He was
dreaming and she became quickly confused by the abstract images.  She
backed out quickly - but not before she realized that he was not
traveling alone.  Again she reached out and searched for Trog's
companion.  She could tell there was someone there, but the mind was
walled up somehow - as though it had been wounded and needed to close
in on itself to heal.  She did get a small glimpse and he seemed
familiar somehow, but changed.  She withdrew rather than press and
disturb the rest he so clearly needed.

	She was glad Trog had found a friend to bring along.  Morgana
had the feeling that Trog would need some help when he did finally
reach her.  

	Oh bother, she was going to have to pace some more or she'd
never get back to sleep.  Elerin opened a sleepy eye and tried to
watch over the lady as she wandered to and fro.  But the repetative
movement put her to sleep again quickly.  Eventually Morgana settled
down to try to find a comfortable position again - grumbling that Trog
and whoever had better Hurry!

Well *I* have almost forgotten what human beings look like...

Both roommates are on vacation, Michelle is, of course, in Chicago.
(and reveling in the carefree-ness of summer) and I'm all alone
with a 1600 sq.ft. house for tooo long.  Talk about contrast!

Oh no, everyone, don't groan.  This time I'm talking to Erin about
engagements, okay?

As someone who ran from what was an actual proposal a couple years
ago, I can honestly say that it can't hurt to ask her, so long as
you tell her _in_ _advance_ that her saying no will not affect you
in anyway (I assume it won't...?)
About your parents, this is going to sound kind of callous, but,
well, you're both over 18, aren't you?  Even in the best parent/
child relationships sometimes the child or the parent has to assert
themselves along the lines of "I'm not asking for your consent"
for the child and "It isn't my job to do that for you anymore"
for the parent.  Again I speak from experience, and I got a long
lecture but my mother and I are still quite close.

And long engagements can be nice, as long as both of you are 
comfortable with the idea.  Erin, I don't know what religion
you and Catherine are (if any), but if you are Catholic
I understand that even a long period of dating will usually
mean that the six-month engagement period required by most
churches I know of doesn't apply.  Surprise.

(Yes, folks, I was raised Catholic.  Notice I don't say I AM.)

Keep us posted on how it works out...

Hey dude I didn't mean to challenge anybody.  Just a havin' a little fun with
some of Lisa's protective, male type friends.  You know, just friendly banter!
No gauntlets thrown to the ground or rubber biscuits bounced off foreheads.

That rubber biscuit thing.  I can't remember where that comes from.  Somewhere
deep in my memory ... Saturday Night Live, or Cheech & Chong maybe?

Anyway I do consider myself a gentleman and am always ready to defend any
member of the Fair Sex.  I simply suggested to very possessive fellows that
if "in some alternate reality" the Fair Lady Lis should spurn thier affections
in favor of your's truly, then I would be ready, willing, and able to defend
her decision.  This was of course before I realized that the Fair Lady wears
a circlet of gold on her left hand.

In any event the whole thing was meant to be fun.  Hope you (or anyone else)
were not offended!

I think this thing sprang from my complex having to do with women in general.
I mean I love women.  I love to look at them, talk to them, smell them, watch
t.v. with them, listen to music with them, eat with them, lie on the grass and
look at the stars with them, swim with them (really like that one) etc., etc.
I particularly like being the object of their admiration and affection.  I     
love it when they depend on me for protection and solice.  Sounds sappy I know
but while typing this post these thoughts suddenly came to me.  Must be some
Freudian (sp?) thing at work here...
