I knew, like you know a good melon  − 23 October, 2005

I received the following email on MySpace (which I sincerely promise not to use anymore) on October 23, 2005:

"I'm sure that you are bombarded with "blast from the past" e-mails. I thought I'd say hi anyway. I didn't get a chance to talk with you much at the reunion, but it was good to see you... uh, 3 years ago. Shit time flies. I'm out in the IE a lot since my family still lives here, so if you're up for getting a drink sometime, that would be fun.... or it might just be extremely awkward, but I'm willing to take the risk. haha. Hope to hear from you soon.

Oh, I hated Sideways and Closer too. I think that we are the only ones."

After a few more email exchanges and a 3+ hour phone conversation on October 30th, I was hooked. Within that first phone call I felt I knew more about him and disclosed more about myself, than I had to men I'd dated for months on end.

We had our first date November 12, 2005 and haven't spent a weekend apart since.

8 months later, he continues to amaze me and entertain me. The kid I'd known since junior high and had regarded as being introverted and shy, is now my best friend, my shoulder to cry on, and my own personal comedian to laugh with.

You hated Sideways and Closer!?!? Ah, cute story. Nerd lovin' rocks.

I did hate those movies! Sideways had some redeeming qualities, but really, what's to like about movies that promote lying and cheating?

Talk about Nerd lovin', you guys met at a tech company, we are writing this on a website that your hubby created, and don't get me started on the new monitor that shows up in your bedroom every week.
