Here you will be introduced to the special woman in my life :) or updated on her current sitch if you already know her. I met Steph one night in the second semester of my Freshman year at college. A few of my friends and myself were playing Battletech in the lounge of one of the dorms when a woman we didn't know walked in. Turned out that she was friends with the only woman in our group of friends, Kat. We took a break from playing while they talked. Kat introduced her to us as Stephanie. It was here that she met my friend Dean. He greeted her with these kind words: "You smell like a brew'ry." They started dating in October and were together for three years. After the break-up, the two of us remained very good friends. But, back to the beginning... I was extraordinarily shy. I hardly talked unless I had something important to say. I had known her for almost two months before she heard me talk--she thought I was mute. But after we got to know each other I haven't shut up ;) We grew closer as we found more in common and when she started dating my roommate, the three of us were inseperable. For the remainder of that year we all lived together in a small (you wouldn't believe how small) dorm room. When he left from school, she and I remained close and soon my big revelation came (you can read a little about that on my story page). Steph was my confidante and I went to her first for help. She supported me through that and much more. I don't know what I would have done without her. Well, time went fast, Dean came back to school, and Steph and I graduated (she was a dramatic arts/communication major). She returned to Massachusetts and, after two long years, I have finally joined her. Now we share a nice 2BR apartment. Even through our time apart we grew together--somewhat in the same direction. Anyway, I just want to thank her for all the love, support, and encouragement.
