I was attracted to someone on here (the Forums) and then I met my fella. I was hesitant at first because I liked him but as he has proved himself to be a complete bozo, I feel I have made the right choice!!
Not THIS Christmas, no. I have had Christmasses on my own and ones where my folks have taken me in knowing that otherwise I would've been on my own....
This Christmas is definitely different....
I do spare a thought though for those less fortunate, particularly at a time when you'd think people would perhaps be a little more charitable? Alas.....
Madness have just come on the TV.... Christmas is now complete!!
Self-preservation, it sounds like to me. You are trying to protect yourself from being vulnerable and getting hurt. Thing is what you seek will probably not be found without taking some risks....
Have your wits about you, yes, there are some strange ones out there. But don't deny yourself the possibility of some wonderful opportunities?
Hopefully, its going to be a wonderful time for most of us, but I got to thinking about those less fortunate....
The troops overseas, those who will be spending Christmas in hospital and those who will be lonely as they have no-one are just a few.
I am very lucky, I am not one of them. Lest we take too much for granted, I guessed we could spare them a thought at least?
For me, personally, I shall remember my father, Hamish and Angus, and by no means the least, a dear friend who was a former CSer.... Bulldog66/Bully/Paul (will be having a wee tipple for ya, bud).
Well, I was on CS for a few months before I came across the Forums, by accident. Didin't even know what the Forums were for or how they worked. Needed some advice and had some wonderful responses from some fab people. Seen some interesting changes (not all good), had a heap of laughs, witnessed many fights and experienced a lot of friendship and support. Seen some terrific people disappear, sadly. But refreshing news ones appear....
I have, along the way, made some great friends, some for life, been led a merry dance by a Kiwi (who got his just desserts, I hasten to add), escaped a few scams, learned a heck of a lot, enjoyed the diversity, and eventually met my fella.
All in all.... its been good. NO... its been wonderful!!
Well, its been almost a year. He travels 252 miles every couple of months to be with me, buys me beautiful red roses, sends me romantic music videos and cards, texts me several times a day and he calls me on the 'phone just about every day. More importantly perhaps, he has supported me through some tough times over recent months.....
I do believe in courtesy, yes, of course. I try to respond where I am able but this is not always possible.
There may be many reasons, and bearing in mind not everyone lives by the same code of conduct. Don't take it personally.
I have even been ignored at times by those proporting to be "friends".... That said, I have made friends who I now see off-site and will, undoubtedly, be friends for life so I am very fortunate.
C'est la vie, my friend.... move on. This medium does indeed serve a purpose in that it sorts the wheat from the chaff, yeah?
If that is the case, I think it should be all about HIM?!! Make sure its a Christmas to remember and his remaining time is special and filled with love....
My fella and I will be spending much of Christmas just the two of us with the occasional visit to his family and friends, a dinner dance "do" for New Year's Eve.
