Waiting up...

Have you ever waited up to hope that a certain someone would log online? Usually it''s someone you like or are very fond of? I''ve been doing it for the past 48 hours! It''s complete agony! I have reasoned with it, tried to get away from the computer, but no, I''ll be right back at it just as quickly. It''s a boring, the wait is long, and you never know if he will log on eventually anyway. I mean, I can''t help it! There are so many things I want to say to him, and I just can''t wait till he goes online. But this is getting ridiculous. Then I started thinking about the greater biological/psychological purpose behind it and cannot find any! I mean, it serves no survival purposes. It doesn''t feed me, give me pleasure, defend my health, or help me reproduce. Can someone explain to me what purpose it serves? This is so weird and freaky.

Aw ... Lilwonder found a guy

Is this someone, like, non-local? As in someone you can''t see IRL; only online? I''ve liked girls like that, but not online

*giggles, blushes*

He lives in Michigan, but currently is working in Kentucky for the month to train some employees. I''ve mentioned him a few times on this forum before! :D When I first got the internet in grade 9, I didn''t know how to work the computer AT ALL, and he came and helped me. We have been very good friends since then.

He''s great! He knows I have been stressed out lately and so he drove up to Toronto (10 hour drive)to take me to see the Matrix, to give me this his webcam and to give me a flow chart program for my school work. I''m sort of waiting up because I haven''t really talked to him since he left Toronto. I know he arrived to Michigan okay because he sent me an email there, but I still don''t know if he got to Kentucky fine. So I''m a bit concerned.

Anyway, he does crazy things like that! Once, when I just broke up with my boyfriend Ray, this Michigan guy knew how depressed and upset I was, so he drove 4 hours up to Toronto to make sure I was okay, and took me to the Bluffs and to the Zoo to cheer me up, then drove back 4 hours the same day (''cause he had to help his sister out with something important).

I like him a lot, but we''re complete opposites, and he lives far away, and might be moving even farther. So a relationship won''t work In fact, just the other day, as he was about to leave Toronto, he said something in the lines of "Go get a boyfriend Karyn. I''m sure you''ll find a great guy at U of T, since it has so many people. You need someone wonderful and someone who is here in Toronto so he can be there for you. I am not very viable." Then he kissed me on my cheek and said "Do well in school" and send me off on the public transit.

*blinks blinks* I don''t see how!

Is there something about my computer or my computer chair you should tell me about?

What your doing is your waiting for him to talk to him and therefore have a potential relationship, therefore potentially getting married, therefore reproducing.

Nice try, but cleverly changing the filename to gaem.exe from OhTehPong.zip isn''t fooling anyone.

No. That''s why there''s email - for the purpose of asynchronous communication.
