2002-02-11 - 4:35 p.m. Ok, this is the second time I've attempted to do this, so it may be that it won't be the same as it would have been if I'd been able to do it the first time, if you know what I mean. - As at least one very perceptive person has already figured out, I have been involved in an internet romance. Um, and as I can now reveal, the victim of these attentions has been this person. - And you can probably guess... where I am now and why I came here. So... - On saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock I sat outside the YHA, reading my lonely planet and vaguely aware that at any moment she would appear... when she did. Footsteps, and then someone said "hey", or something like that, and then I went into a sort of shock. We both just laughed and laughed, and then stopped laughing and couldn't say anything, and then started laughing again. This went on for quite a while. - I'd never met anyone in rl who I'd first met on the internet before, so it was all very strange and unexpected. Or rather, I'd expected it to be strange, in a sort of vague and abstract way, but when it happened I was totally unprepared for it... this is going to sound very dorky, or like, some kind of parable of modern life, but thw two of us decided (it was her idea, actually) to go to an internet cafe and chat to each other over the internet. Yes, very, very weird thing to do, but believe me, it helped. I don't know what we would have done otherwise. - Um, more later... I just want to announce to the world, though, that I'm glad I came. :) - "Hey You've got to hide your love away" - The Beatles
