How long is the distance between you two now? And yeah sorry I forgot to mention that for people that hadn't seen it, so yes Texas to Canada, its been a rough battle, I have never had doubts, never been, ok maybe it's not working, it has always been a strong relationship, and as you said, alot of people have been too intune with physical closeness, I am not saying, ok lets all get an online girlfriend/boyfriend, I just feel from this distance, you see the person for more than looks, looks are nothing without a personality, and to me, looks aren't a thing anyway, im not one to be like, OH SHES SO FINE, or wow she has a nice a$$. I like cute features in women. But I feel that it was meant to happen, just how we met, how it got together, my friend made me join, I did not want to join the league at all, and I have him to thank for everything, he was the middle man of God, that led us together. That might be a fairytale story, polished you might say, but I am sticking to it! Anyways yeah its been just so hard being away from eachother, the other times I was able to be strong, but this last good bye killed me, but as they say, good things take time, and I have all the time in the world, but im hopeful for a soon arrival! Anyways, thanks for reading my crazy post. And yes I agree, long distance relationships can be hard and sketchy, but they find the person you are meant to be with. I know people can say that, "Oh you are just in love, and can't see otherwise, there might be someone else out there"! But I have been given physical and mental proof that shes the one, while the experience was scary, I knew that she was the one I was to take care of for the rest of my life. Anyways enough of my story, lol. Thanks again Katie

we aren't that far apart, really....hour and a half flight. 13 hour drive. It's economic and other circumstances that keep us apart mostly.

I should say I've never not wanted to be with my guy. I remember very clearly the day I fell in love and knew it. We had been talking for awhile and I was out with my friends one night. I was talking and talking and talking about him and one of them said "wow....you really love this guy don't you" And I remember saying "yeah....you know what...I really do." and I thought about him all night and every night since. (and this was a hard thing for me to admit to after being the "widow" for two years...for a long time I felt like I was cheating on poor dead Trent...but I know better now)

The hard part for me (and alot of girls in LDR's) happens when circumstances (work schedules, etc.) conflict with our communication. We've been through relationship stages. At first when you are so in love, you talk ALOT....which is great for us girls because it shows us that a guy cares and is interested. But, there came a time when new jobs meant that there wasn't an everyday talk like I was used to and I begin to feel like I was losing him or he didn't care anymore. ( I know this is very silly, but it was VERY hard for me) I mean, I know he's a really great guy.....and maybe some new girl at his work or something had figured that out. It caused some problems. I was feeling down, etc.

BUT, things worked out. I don't get so scared if he's not around. I trust he loves me. I trust him when he says he wants to be with me. I do love him for who he is and all he is. Good and bad. People like to tell me I have mostly made up this fantastic relationship in my head, but let me tell you, we've had some ugly fights too....and it's hard to maintain a fantasy prince charming after an ugly fight I'm in this for the long haul. I want to be with this guy. I love him with all my heart. Things will work out for us in the end

A young guy went to my next door neighbours, she chased him so he hopped ove the fence and knocked on my door.

Turns out he was being chased by a bunch of neds who said they were going to knife him and stab him with a bottle (which around here could happen) he was asking to phone his dad. My dad let him in and gave him a ride home.

Anyhoo, my mum and dad are out tonight at a birthday party, weve been told to keep the door locked and just keep an eye out. Neds arent above a brick through the window.

I really hate my village sometimes.

omg, that's intense! It sounds like the first apartment Ram Bam & I lived in after we got married...drug busts in the apartment below us...murders down the street...perverts above us...but the rent was cheap & it was all inclusive

It's alright everyone, I've found the culprits!

[JameO]

Great to hear Katie , we haven't really had any fights, just some arguments, where stubborness kicks in, and we want to be the one thats right, but we talk about it and get over everything pretty fast, so hopefully it will stay that way! Anyways thanks for the all the great responses!

[SassyGal]

So....here I am again....I have just had to put down my other cat, Pandora I thought I caught her illness in time, but no. She was jaundiced & her liver had gone fatty which is hard to fight back once it gets to the point she was at. She was in a lot of pain today, whereas she seemed to be getting better yesterday.

So, now it's just me, Ram Bam, and our apparently immortal dwarf rabbit, Nubby. My house is just too damn quiet now.


This year is becoming more crappy than last year. I have to go and indulge in some hardcore emotional eating.

Wait... Where's Jester in that picture?

Oh Sassy. I am so sorry. I wish there was more I could say.

*raises up out of nothingness* Just a quick update to give ya'll about what's been going on with me.

I had a job interveiw the other day at the local vet clinic for a kennel assistant and everything...had the appointment set up and everything...and when I got there...I found out that they'd already filled it before I could interview!


Pah, so much for that....


Anyways, I'm just sitting here in my room right now, browsing over pics at I can has cheezburger, and I'm thinking you all may get this joke I found... XD:

Ya know what I need? My doctor to call and tell me how many weeks I have to wait until I can see the new specialist.

[Krang]

Just a note: The stuff involving syd has been moved to the Chatter thread.

I hate waiting for appointments to see specialists It takes forever! Are you feeling any better Jo?

[Jo Dawn]

Well... to answer that, let's take a look at my weekend. (And no doctor call yet.)

I worked all day Saturday, felt pretty ok! Got done a bit early, ate a little something (that I had a bad feeling about... But I always do, so I ignored it.) I was going out to a friend's so I did it all up. Did the hair, shaved, plucked, shined... everything. We bowled, went back to the house and then... *snap*

I felt awful. And when that happens, I get so tired... it's like all the energy is sucked from me. So I managed to get a piece of gum (a failsafe, since even a sip of water is painful) and fell asleep.

Fell asleep.

For, like... four hours. I felt so awful; I ruin alot of good nights. He kept telling me to stop apologizing, he didnt wanna hear it... But I cant help but just feel like soon people will be tired of dealing with me.

[JameO]

How could some one get tired of such a pretty face? Such an amazing person inside, no way I am getting tired of that!

[Mecha Cow]

I wouldn't worry about it; your friends won't get tired of you and the people that do aren't worth hanging out with anyway.

I had a bad day. I can put up with people slagging me behind my back. But today, one of the guys in my class had a go at me.

I talk quite fast (understatement) if you've watched season one of Scrubs, I'm like Elliot. A mile a minute. Anyway, I'm talking to jade (my only actual friend in college so far becasue the guys dont like me) telling her that I will eventually see "the mighty boosh" and then we can share jokes. When one guy pipes up.

"Cant you at least let her get a word in? Shes reduced to nodding and buy now its just a nervous twitch"

There was more, but I lose focus and everything blurs in these kind of situations, I rummaged around in my bad so I didnt have to look at anyone. I remember one guy saying "MEG!" over and over while I tried to ignore them all. Thats the nickname theve given me becasue they think I'm like Meg from Family guy. I took out my gloves and bus ticket for something to do and the first guy slit it across the table towards him. I wasnt in the mood for any crap and just said "Stop being a t*t and give me it back" an he did.

More stuff I can't remember, did it even happen in that order?. And I just remember him saying "Shes impervious to ridicule"

That hurt.

I don't know how to fix this.

I think you did the right thing. When people are that immature and pick on you it really is a study in their own insecurity. It makes them feel better to make someone else feel bad and if they KNOW they are making you feel bad from your reactions, they will keep at it.

If you do not react then the game isn't fun anymore and they will get their kicks somewhere else.

Jeez...I sound like a PSA or something. I got bullied and teased alot when I was younger for whatever reason. Boys used to pretend to be nice to me and act interested only to CRUSH me when I had been led on for a few days. After more than a few occasions of this, it made me VERY cautious and a little paranoid about a guy's true intentions when he says he likes me. (I even had one guy say that he had had a crush on me since school started and that he wanted to kiss me.....only to have him meet me with a group of his friends who all pelted me with garbage from lunch)

ANYWAY...my point is that one day I just ignored stuff like that. They shot a spitball at my head, I wiped it off and continued with my business. They tried to call me **** and make fun of me while I was talking to someone....I acted as if I didn't hear them. They took something from my hands, I would turn and hold an outstreatched hand waiting for them to give it back. Eventually, they were the ones who looked foolish and it wasn't fun to pick on me anymore.

Now, I think it is kind of funny when one of those guys will run into me around town or something. they will all be "WOW....you look really good. I can't believe we never did anything in high school" I just smile coyly and say "who are you again? I don't seem to remember you...."

Life is sweet if you give it some time
