KARYN

Now what can I say about this girl that's too the point and won't take too long? To be honest, if I wanted to say everything about this girl, it would take a lifetime. She is one of the few rare gems out there in a world of counterfiets. For the past two years she has been a true friend to me. Even when I've been a jerk and lost contact with her, she still saw fit to forgive me and start up all over again. She lives in Australia, so keeping in touch can sometimes be a bit tricky. Fortunately we had met over an IRC board, thus we were able to keep in touch that way for a while. Eventually that became difficult for me to do due to my living arangements at the time, so we had to settle on playing e-mail tag when we both happened to be on at the same time. I received a picture from her a long time ago, and when I looked at it I was more than impressed. She is quite a looker. I have also spent the last two years hitting on her, hoping that against the odds that she will somehow take a fancy to me. Unfortunately she thought that I was more or less just joking around (even though I rarely say something along the lines of serious without being so), and she fell for someone else. A Canadian of all things too. Nothing against our nothern neighbors, but any country that can't make up it's mind what it's national language is is just plain silly. Only once is a great while does someone find a person as special as Kare. I thank God that I did.

7/5 Interresting development. I have been talking with her quite alot recently. She has since broken up with the guy in Canada, and has developed another relationship with a different guy (from the States this time). For sake of argument I will call him Chuck. She and chuck have been dating now for some time (as much as you can from the other side of the Pacific) and have gotten serious. Now things have taken a twist, and I have gotten involved. Our friendship has gone through a metamorphosis of sorts, and are drastically different. We find ourselves talking about things we never dreamed we would have two years ago. We're making plans that seemed to have previously been only a figment of imagination. What prompted this turn-around? I don't know. She is a little flustered by the whole thing, but I'm of the attitude of just have fun. New experiences are a good thing, as long as they are kept in perspective. She now knows that I am serious... as much as I can be from the other side of the world (and never having met). Our horizons have been broadened. How am I going to deal with this? I'm not sure myself. I guess I am just going to keep going on with life as I have... one day at a time. For all I know, I'll end up meeting the woman of my dreams living right next door to me tomorrow. I have to live with that. And if it happens (yeah, right), I'm going to go for it. I hope she understands that, as I would expect her to do the same. On the other hand: Kare is already very close to that. Her only real flaw (that I've found, anyway) is that she lives so far away. One of us would have to move, and it would have to be me. She has a family to worry about, and I do not. It would only be fair to them to do it that way. And only after we've met would something like that even be seriously concidered. Until then, one day at a time. She is very special to me, and she always has my friendship. I hope she knows that. I do not want to put that in jeopardy. So, I will remain light-hearted, and not worry about how things will turn out, as they will turn out for the best. Time will tell, and it usually does.
