More funerals, more friend problems, more hot, Texas days. But at the same time, more time spent at the mall with my family, more lazy days watching TV with my girls, more pool parties, and cookouts. Sometimes, the slow days are the best.

I did something my friends said was wild, crazy, and dangerous today... I went to meet a man I'd only ever talked to online before. I was not molested, murdered, or buried alive. LOL. However, I did learn some valuable lessons about the differences between and online chat room, and a face-to-face conversation.
This man had asked me to come visit him (something I’m not used to doing, but at least I got to pick the time, which made me feel better). So, I took a friend after class today, and we went. I was all confidence.. me and my friend were joking about boys and stuff, until I actually saw him….
My first problem was how to introduce myself. I mean, did I use my real name, or my screen name? (he knew them both, but normally, I’m used to my friends giving ME a name. LOL) But, he looked at me a minute, then stood up and hugged me! After that I was much more relaxed. However, eye-contact, body language and so forth, are VERY different. This was someone I was comfortable with online, but I felt as I was starting over again… almost like meeting a stranger. Then somebody brought up Gundam, which he and my friend both knew, and I didn’t.
Yet, he wound up showing the same kind spirit I’d seen in the chats, and Just had that unexplainable “coolness” factor that makes you want to spend more time around someone. I gave him my number before I left, and I’m kind of hoping he calls me. In any case, I’m glad I had this opportunity, and I hope I have many more like it. Now, if I can get my friend to stop going on and on and ON about Gundum and how cute this man was... LOL. (JK, we were both chatting it up non-stop on the way home. Thats what I get for drinking soda again.)
So.. this is me the last few days...
