There is a guy, who had started a conversation with me through something similar to yahoo messenger, but in Marsian's version. It was in January, or February, and I liked him at first very much :-)

Then I saw his pictures...Ughm. Nothing scarry,but I am pretty sure the sweater he had on....my grandpa would not want to wear.

That's okay, I thought. You'll change your style in no time!, I was than sure.:-)

Then he listed through chat all of titles of cds he owns. All 78 titles! S-e-v-e-n-t-y e-i-g-h-t. I thought he was joking, but after 30th title I stopped laughing. He was so occupied with listing all those titles, he did not see at all my subtle hints:" ok, enough", " hello", "hellooooo", " heloooooooo", " !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!", he just kept on writing.

Then he asked me if I wanted to have a cup of coffee with him... Heheh. Funny :-), NO.

I thought it would be the end of the story, but I was wrong. So wrong. Every time I would log on into my computer, he would see I was available, and kept sending messages. He knew some facts from my life and making up a story about a husband sleeping in the next room, would just not fly :-) So I did what I thought would scare him away.

" Listen, I eat. A lot. I am actually overweight; don't let those pictures fool ya! I don't exercise, I smoke and I am not quitting. I am lazy, did you want me to send you pictures of my room right now? I can do it! Oh I have cellulite! Terrible, you would not want to see it. You deserve better. For sure"

I sent him pictures I thought I should bury in the ground. He still was interested.

Once my computer crashed I made sure not to download this particular program. I did not stop using my e-mail address though, and very frequently I would receive an e-mail from him. We became funny e-mails buddies and every time he made me laugh I would go----hm. He is not that terrible after all.

He asked me to go with him to some family event in May. Yeah...right.

We exchanged more funny e-mails.

In September we finally talked on the phone. He remembered everything I told him 6 months ago via chat!. Okay, so you are not that crazy after all, you are kind of sweet. Just a little.

Because I took a break from dating, I told him there would be no date, but we could still talk. And we would talk from time to time. Nothing exciting.

He invited me yesterday to a gala, which would be in two weeks. I kind of want to go dancing, but I won't go with a stranger. Not a chance. He sent me his verified personal information via e-mail. Is this how this is done nowadays? I really don't know.

So I want to meet the guy. I do:-) He chose the restaurant and the name of it “The medieval time" sounds interesting. This love thing is either there, or it is not, I would never have anything in between. It ain't here! ;-) But I could have another friend tomorrow :-)

I will be nice:-)

OMG....I need a manicure! I have absolutely nothing to wear. Damn ( !!!)

Dad;
I want to finally take vacations next year for the full 2 or 3 weeks ( just a dream of mine) and visit Marsian's country---home. I plan on visiting all girls I grew up with, drinking an ocean of sweet wine and hiking up some mountains I forgot to hike while in high school.

My dad heard about my plans;
--- You need to tell me exactly the date, once you schedule your vacations, M. I will work around my work schedule, so I could give you all my attention during these two weeks. Baby girl, it will be fun! We'll take a car, and drive throughout the country and visit my old friend in place X. Than we'll go to place Y and visit another friend of mine. We should not forget about “somebody", I do business with him. It will be fun! And..
--- What? Dad, are you crazy?! You got to be joking! I will not spent my vacations meeting some old strangers! No, no, no! Heheh. Seriously dad, you are crazy!
--- What did you just say to me young lady?!
---Yyyyy. Nothing, dad. I did not say a word. It must be the static on the phone.
---I thought so.

The thing to do; Never , ever tell my dad if I do buy a ticket. The thing to do #2; act very surprised when he finds out I " forgot" to tell him about it.

Mama;
--- Ohh, what a nice purse! How much did you pay for it?
---Mom, it was soooo cheap! Can you believe it? I spent like nothing!!!! $5 I believe.
---. Here, my dear. Here is $15, buy yourself 3 of them in 3 different colours. Go wild. I 'll take this one.

You live, you learn :-)

Gosh, I've found such a nice spot :-)

I had to go back downtown today for my Oath Ceremony and had to fit it into my work/school schedule. I was more than miserable within crowd of 200 people, because well...I am claustrophobic. I would not hesitate to pet a frog, but I stop breathing in the elevator. How weird is that? Anyway, miserable headache, fever, urges to trow up and racing heart beat was over as soon as I found myself outside. The minute I was hungry I knew I was more than fine :-)

I saw pictures of waffles, and strawberries and whip cream....Ohh.I was in! Got myself cup of coffee and finally had some time to look around. Damn. It was like different world:-) Old style pictures, vases, red roses, and dark -metal-fancy chairs. I had never been to French restaurant, and this wasn't exactly high-end restaurant, but damn, the atmosphere stopped the time for me! :-) Edith Piaf was on and my gosh it worked perfectly with the style of this little spot:-)

The owner even had French accent!

The spot is famous for its crepes, apparently. I got to know the history of this little shop and countries from where they import all of their ingredients. Hm. I did not ask for this knowledge, but it seemed that the owner wanted to share all those information with somebody. Anybody! I was nearby :-)

Damn, This beef stroganoff in cream sauce and crepes and this delicious salad of cabbage/carrots/mushrooms were sooo worth it! My breakfast/lunch with surprise :-) A man with the crepes turned out to be Marsian's guy! With some French background :-) I live in a village; I have no doubts about it! :-)

Got free homemade pastries: “for beautiful lady" and I know I will be back :-) Free pastries! :-) Ohhhh....keep them coming;)
