Me and my man in New Orleans
The thing is, so many people were telling me, "You can't really know someone by phone/internet/IM" and I kept thinking, but he is sooooo honest - brutally honest, really - how could he be THAT different? But I shouldn't sit around thinking I know better than everyone else when it is something I actually know nothing about - if you get me. My sister was concerned he'd be an axe murderer, there was the comment about ending up in the trunk - I was a little nervous.
But after a year and a half of friendship, IM, phone and web-caming, seems I was right. He is a wonderful man and we had a great time. There is plenty to get through in terms of geography, family etc. but I know for sure where my heart belongs. I loved talking, laughing, having fun together - we just really enjoyed eachother - in every way we could squeeze into four days. It was wonderful.
Here are some photos - what do you think??

Congrats girl, you deserve having a significant other in your life and having fun at it!
All other things like geography can be worked out!

My thoughts on this issue:
There is a buzz;
A vibration—
When the air becomes electric.
Breath becomes lava
And life.
This fever
Is cosmic and intentional.
Gravity thrills;
Emotions ignite
And bloom.
Underneath what once was hidden
Peeling away—
The temperature climbs.
Tremors and trepidation
Ease into the unfurling of
Brand new sensation.
Revealing a seedling,
From the ash.
A complex growth—
A legendary rhythm.
Water and tend,
It needs the heat.
This is your destination.
-Mike

I've been brain-baking it for a few hours now.
I'm inspired by you two--this feeds right into the philosophical zone I'm in right now. Shared experiences plus wisdom plus interstate travel equals John & Gina.
This is just awesome...
