Just... wow.

After pretty much throwing in the towel on the idea of ever meeting somebody even halfway worthwhile again, my best friend and his girlfriend up and throw the most amazing woman into my life. She's gorgeous and hilarious. And a reader - and a King fan! And incredibly interesting. And intelligent, well-spoken, and strong. And and and. I had serious doubts that anybody like her even existed anymore. Just talking to her on the phone gives me butterflies. (I don't even care that she's a Green Bay Packers fan! That's saying a whole heck of a lot.)

And I know this blog has been defunct for so long that there's probably nobody even paying attention to it anymore. That's fine. I just had to get this feeling off my chest in *some* way that didn't involve my roomie laughing at me and going "See? I told you." Of course, what's going to happen is that she'll follow the link here from my myspace page at some point as we're emailing back and forth there, and so the one person in the world to read this will be her. Because this is the way the world works. But you know what? Screw it. Let her read. She's going to find out at some point anyway. Actually, long years of the mostly single life have probably made me transparent enough that she knows at least half of it already. ^_^

ION: I miss you, blog. When fall gets here and I'm *finally* in my own place again without all the roommate-related drains on my time, I promise to come love on you again. You don't deserve to be ignored like this and I'm an utter heel for doing so.
