I've told it here before but I'll tell it again lol just for you....I was on a field trip for school, bored out of my mind. I get a text message on my cell phone, just saying 'hey' from a number I don't have stored. I figured one of my friends got a phone or something, so I said 'hey whos this' back. The reply that comes is 'oh sorry I put in the wrong number'...normally, someone would just say ok and leave it be...but I was bored out of my mind and wanted to see if by some chance it was someone I knew lol so I kept talking...we kept talking for awhile, we met, went out a few times...and now we are going out. lol its like a one in a billion chance of that happening.

She goes to a nearby school. She wasn't on the field trip, she was just trying to message someone at xxx-4424 and accidentially put in my number, xxx-4421. a small finger slip generated so much happiness :)

In high school, I was in an academic competition school group. She went to another school and was in the same competitions. She was beautiful and the leader of her team, so to speak. I was the leader of my team as well (usually scored the highest, had more experience, etc.). We met at one competition. Then at the Regional meet (in another town), we both took 1st place in the top category (her school competed at a different level than mine because her school was smaller). We rode on the bus home together, we just sort of magically held hands... good memories. Falling in love is great.

It's the breakups that are hard. We were together about 5 months. I can't stand the girl now. Cultural differences made themselves continuously more apparent. I'll leave it at that.

My "first love" was Baqaar. He had recently immigrated to the U.S. and spoke little English but we would sit together at recess and just enjoy each others' company and giggle. For Valentine's Day he gave me a huge card that said "Happy Birthday, Mother" (remember the English thing) and I thought it was sooooo sweet. He was a real gentleman. Sadly, his family moved away at the end of the year and I have no idea where he went. Alothugh I was very young (about 8) I fondly remember him as my first romance :)

Hmmm...

Let's see. The there were a few girls before, but love is knowable only after it has been experienced once. It was in high school, we were both recently emerged wallflowers in the same advanced placement art class. The class was wonderful, we were allowed to use the full facilities as we wished. My pieces grew so large and messy that they gave me a room to myself. She would often come and we would talk. We grew closer and she gave me her ring and by unspoken agreement, we were from then together. No one since her has challenged me in the same ways she did. She was storm of experiences and feelings...

Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove.
Oh no! It is an ever fix&egrave;d mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken.

....or bends with the remover to remove..... I believe that love exists in a sense outside ourselves. That love I felt for Laura still exists in me, yet outside me. I have passed through and come away from that specific love. Although I feel it still resides in me, even in it's most intense form, I have passed away from it. I am not the man I was. I can not love again as I did then. I love now in a wholly equal yet different way.....

ramble...ramble....ramble....

well, time for more booze now.

I have to say how much I agree with that. I will always feel the same for the people I have felt for. I just move on and find new places for new people. My first real love was probably last year, sophomore year of college. Cultural differences(arranged marriage) kept us apart despite her similar feelings for me but I guess its worked out for the best. I wouldn't give up the friendship I have with her now for anything.

djheater, how dare you use the sonnet from my sig and arguably one of the greatest poems EVAR.

You people here speak of romance and though I've never experienced it quite that way, I've never exactly been out of love so I'm not too sure of how to answer the question. Something that has no beginning or end, how can it have a first?

Cheers ! :)

<< I can't find the name of this movie!
Help!!!
Jamacian style fighting it looks like they are dancing. This guy is a teacher who goes to a rough school and helps these ghetto kids rise up by teaching them and keeping them interested by showing them to dance/fight.
It would come on some B- funk channel on Sunday afternoon if they showed it know.
Anybody??
>>



I think Ive seen it, but the one I saw was like a South American style of fighting (Brazilian possibly?). Im lookin for it on imdb.com
Pretty cheesy movie though.


what was the topic now?

I'm still with her... and plan to be forever. June will be our 4th year together... can't be happier.

We met in calc II class and became friends... after an entire year, we started doing the just-you-and-me thing and things fell into place.
