- You know what's really maddening about romance and relationships?
- It's the irritating irony surrounding their development. Case in
- point:
-
- Through alt.romance I've come in contact with a really fascinating
- lady---she's intelligent, romantic, sweet, and eminently cuddly (this
- last bit comes from my impression of her after she obligingly described
- herself.) After several E-mail exchanges, I've started to think that I
- just might be falling for this fair maiden, which, in retrospect, may
- be the aftermath of an initial, impetuous emotional rush, considering
- that we've barely "known" each other for two weeks through the E-mails.
- (Oh, yes, go ahead and roll your eyes in disbelief---I can hear you
- doing it, and, yeah, I know how all this must sound to you, but that's
- the way it is for me.) Now, you may be asking youself, where is the
- "irony" this smitten, bitten cornball mentioned before? Well, it's
- simply this:
-
- I'M here in Nebraska, and SHE'S way up yonder in Canada.
-
- I ask you: Isn't that the way of it? You wait for years and years
- for that certain someone to come along, and when they do, guess what?
- They live in another country, a thousand miles away! Ha-ha-ha, too
- bad, so sad! Do NOT pass "Go", do NOT collect $200!....
-
- ....And *that* is why I say unto you, brothers and sisters: This
- really, REALLY bites it.
-
- *Sigh....*
-
- Pardon my language, ladies.
-
- So, tell me, gang: How many of you (of either gender persuasion) are
- in this same (or a similar) boat?
-
- ...T.R. Stone
-
- Stuck here in Nebraska, but looking to the North for my Cuddly Canadian,
- Rosemary......
