You know sweetie, I've been on computers ever since I was a tot. Back before the internet and color monitors, when a chatroom was two TRS80's linked together with a one inch cable across the room *grin* And ever since these idiot boxes were invented, there's always been a pseudo-robotic, impersonal aura around them. I think one of the main reasons is that they have always had the option to just be shut off and walked away from, just like a tv or radio, not so is real life. But more and more technology has grown, and now I can get online anytime and send streaming video to someone if I wish *weg* Seriously though, most new technology exists only to make our lives a living hell (e.g. cellphones, pagers, damn childproof caps on bottles) but the advances in computers haven't been so bad really. Especially in the last 10 years the net has grown by leaps and bounds. It is it's own entity, dare I say a fate, that weaves parts of people's lives. It can bring two people together who didn't know each other before and may have lived across the world, but once they meet they know they are soulmates*wink* Or it can tear people asunder which I have also seen many times before. My advice to you, as well as anyone else who is reading, is to follow your heart. We all only live once, and what's the use of life if we're not living it right? Take chances, grab life by the...well just grab life and don't let go. Don't be left years later with What If's and regrets. Wayne Gretzky said that you miss 100% of the shots you never take, such is true in life as well. And as much as I would love to keep ya all to myself and make you my personal love slave for all eternity hehehe, I think you should try and get in touch with Mr X and let him know how you feel, see if he feels the same way. I'll get down off of my soapbox for now *clip clop* but remind me to tell ya a story later on about sitting on a couch handing a dozen roses to a girl as her fiance pulls up in the drive *grin* Ahhhhh roses fit so nicely in the fridge, and ya never think to look there hehehe. Have fun hon and I'll see ya soon *tight hugs*
