I think we're around $2.90 (baring the little .09 game the gas stations play) here in Colorado. Do I really care? Not really. I need fuel in my car, I'm going to fill'erup anyway. Does it put a crimp on spending? Surely - I plop in $20 - whatever that gets me - per pay (which ammounted to a little over 7 gallons at the pump last week) and deal with it. If I need more, naturally I'll go get more. I don't live in fear, even though I am pretty much forced to live in the fear of others. Ask me any time and I'll explain that one.
Does it really matter? Have fun, be yourself - just don't take anything for granted, ie "if I go to connectingsingles i'll find love". I'm sure it's happened online, but I've found mates in stranger, less likely places. Right now I hang here because it's a friendly site, I like the ppl, and enjoy reading the threads. Since I share a common denominator with the others here it's kosher, but I'm not here to necessarily find the next Mrs. Anarqi - seems too much like playing the lottery (capitalistic bribery of the masses)- but it is another medium. The best way to find the next Mr. or Mrs. Right is to be proactive, right? Well...not necessarily, IMO. Odds are if you're looking for it - be it online, in a club, in a singles group locally, etc., it's out of desperation, it appears out of desperation, and it'll feel like it's out of desperation. Love happens. It could happen online, in a graveyard, or while taking a tour of your local wastewater treatment plant. There's the age old (biblical) "Seek and ye shall find" - but I think it's wiser to seek within yourself before exploring elsewheres. Explore this site, but don't count on it. Learn to be happy single, learn to be happy being who you are. Meet ppl, make friends, and don't have high expectations that you, personally, will encounter some true love. Just have fun:) Did anyone actually bother reading this rant?? lol
I'd have to go with Floyd too, but really love 70's era Priest. On the other topic that's infiltrated, my roommate and I had an 80's Hair Band Party here back in July and we had so much fun we're thinking of doing another around Halloween:)
A made the age old mistake of going on a totally blind date with someone. I went thru the motions - dinner and (thankfully) a movie (so I didn't have to talk to her) - and happily took her home, knowing I'd never have to see her again. Then next evening I was having a few beers at my neighbor's place, she looked out the window and asked me who's car was in my driveway. My blind date turned into a stalker. She sat there, IN HER CAR, for 6 HOURS. I didn't leave my neigbor's til 2am. The blind date called my house and left messages for me everyday for a month. That was a decade ago, and it still freaks me out.
She's smarter and wiser than I am and challenges me, but not frustratingly so. She walks the walk and actually hikes and bike rides like she says she does. She breathes and whispers heavy in my ear every time she feels like it. She wakes up a new person person every day, and she doesn't hold grudges. She's not afraid of spiders and kills them for me as necessary, but never shoves their corpses in my face for fun. She understands that she faces the consequences for her every action and doesn't lay blame somewhere else, nor does she make excuses. She knows how to play chess and if she doesn't she's willing to learn. She's not afraid to admit "I don't know", and if she's wrong she admits it. If something's bothering her she doesn't let it pent up inside and blow up when I least expect it. She's never down at the same time I am. She's not a fatalist. She knows when to say "screw it" and she knows when to tell me to "screw it". She lives like tomorrow is the end of the world, but doesn't believe it. She thinks life is the coolest thing ever and every experience, be it good or bad, is awesome. Oh, and she looks like Christina Applegate.
This has probably been covered before, but I'm much too lazy to go back thru the archives to check, so have at it - if someone doesn't believe in angels or gods or invisible pink unicorns do you end the possible relationship based on that alone, even if everything else is kosher, even great?
And so the cycle of violence continues...("...you hit me!", "You hit me first!" "Did not!" "Did so!" (hit, punch, slap)...vengence is so very, very, civilized.
Ladylake - this is the Thread Police. You are in violation of Article 2169.2C of starting a thread and not killing it (yet). I am fining you three lashings and taking your bouquet paraphernalia as evidence. Let's move along folks...
I'm not surprised he left, asking women to ask questions is opening a can of cooties for certain - a can of cooties that a lifetime supply of ductape, a spool of rope, and a cord of fine fabric can't muzzle. He's probably in another galaxy by now, fighting klingons and in a happier place. I'd step in and take his place, but I'm a coward.
I'm glad I can't turn back time, because if I could it would give me excuses to make mistakes, and I would learn nothing in this world. Besides, if I could redo something, and it didn't come out the exact way I had anticipated, I'd surely get greedy and turn the clock back again and again in an insane broken-chain of events. Such an existence sounds like hell, IMO. I'll just stick to living in the present and learning from my experiences - be them good, bad, or indifferent. For the sake of the the question at hand, I'd have asked someone else to prom in '87.
Colorado: hell, I don't know, I've lived here only a short time...ok, Pete Coors and that nasty (political) brew of his, snowball fights in August, 800' high sand dunes (betcha didn't know that), 300 days of sun per year, NORAD (if you don't know, it's top secret and I can't tell you), Tim Allen (although I don't think I would consider that something we're 'famous' for)...that's all I can think of off the top of my head. Oh, and me!
If you can wait til spring break to meet her, more power too you; by then if you're still both thinking the same thoughts, go for it. Just remember if you commit to moving there you'll be starting over again (not that that can be too difficult at 19). On a positive note, you'll be getting out of the midwest, and I'd applaud you for that.
I met someone (coincidentally from Oklahoma) last winter and she and I met earlier this summer for a few days - no LTR going on, although it's been considered on both sides and I won't say yes or no as it is now. Considering you're from Michigan, and the entire midwest is of the devil, I say move there, move anywhere, just got out of there - but if in fact you (or she) moves to get closer (and odds are it would be you since she has a kid - who has a dad I'm assuming), don't get too crazy. You're 19. Do yourself and the world around you a favor, and live a little (that's coming from someone who initially married as a teen 40 zillion years ago).
