"The six things I could never do without: My boys, air, water, food and shelter.... Okay, enough of the levity..." He marked off the section about offspring, so his boys are his ???!!!

Online Dating Adventures

I get this message from a guy who visited my profile "im just coming back to this site after being off for sometime...i swear they need to get this match thing corrected....... lol. cause the people im seeing is not of my ilk.......... hahaha" WTF?! If someone is not a match I send a polite no thanks, in response to their message. Not as an intro message. WTF is this?!

Online Dating Adventures

so I made a slight mod to my profile. At the end I added: "Hey, I just met you. And this is CRAZY, but here's my number. So call me maybe - actually sorry, my phone number will not be shared. This site is meant to be used in order to get to know someone. At least until you reach a point in the relationship where digits can be exchanged. So please don't ask. #fakenumberonspeeddial"

Online Dating Adventures

Ok, last one for tonight, I promise! I love his sense of humor! He posted: "My self-summary: This is sooo easy. Ask yourself this simple question. "What would my dream guy be?" Then whatever you imagine I'm that and more. You're welcome. What I’m doing with my life: Sculpting a statue of my enormous proboscis. Will rent it out this winter as new england's answer to vail colorado. I’m really good at: Using really big words. I do enjoy moving pictures.... I believe they are also referred to as movies." lol!!! Btw, I had to look up proboscis, it means a nose. Night ya'll!

Online Dating Adventures

ok, so the first few pictures my thoughts were 'a female, like his mom, decorated', as I keep browsing, his home looks too ... old ... I think it is his mama's house! Then, the messy bedroom pic comes up. Seriously?! Come on! Don't post a pic of a messy background, no matter how cute you think you look.

Online Dating Adventures

"I prefer relaxed activities such as bowling, shooting pool, music and movies over watching sports, clubs or long online "relationships." I prefer personal communication over impersonal online chit chat." Does he realize that the two statements are contradictory? ...

Online Dating Adventures

... And then he posts a picture of himself and his uber gorgeous best friend ... O_o #canihaveyourfriendsnumber

Online Dating Adventures

So ... you can select your purpose for being on the dating site as: a) looking for a long term relationship b) looking for a short term relationship c) looking for an activity partner d) casual sex. Do ya'll see how scary this picture is???! Why did he select casual sex and have this as his profile or main picture? Was he intending on scaring

a female's panties off?

Online Dating Adventures

check out this profile! Might be a keeper!! "My self-summary: HI all!!! What I’m doing with my life: Hi! I am happy about life and just enjoying what is in front of me! I’m really good at: Making people laugh! The first things people usually notice about me: My profile!! Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food: I love Italian food an i love everything to do with movies! The six things I could never do without: Cocaine. Meth. Pot. Heroin. Knives. Oh shit I think I answered this wrong!@ I spend a lot of time thinking about: Why I am on here. On a typical Friday night I am: being a geek Or Working out. whatever makes you happy to think about. The most private thing I’m willing to admit: I am totally gay. Even I don;t know it." Smh ~ If he's not seriously looking, why make a profile?

Online Dating Adventures

ok, last one for today. I promise!!! In his profile, under what he is doing, he has "I shower often every Sunday morning and don't like to put it off." I'm not lying! Seriously!

Online Dating Adventures

Sadly this one is not my story, but its still lol! "I was talking to this girl..her pics were some cute hot lil chick..I went out to eat last nite I met her there ..she got out of the car she must been 300 pounds..I was so pissed but I couldn't stop laughing at the same time..it was a terrible experience..lol. definantly a lot of nut jobs out there.."

Online Dating Adventures

Have I got a fab one for y'all today!!! His profile starts off with "I...I am what some people call an ass." Keeper, right there!

Online Dating Adventures

Fellas, if all twelve of your profile pictures are you scowling, save us from having to view it. Just don't post it. Ijs.

Online Dating Adventures

So I check out this guy's profile after reading his email. In it he says "...once in a while you'll find me doing charity work....Not for free though!" Isn't that the purpose of doing charity work?

Online Dating Adventures

Fellas, if your picture makes you look like a defiant teenager, don't use it. Ijs.

Dating Adventures

so first there is the age gap of 6 years. He's like a horny teen trying to get laid. Add in the disrespect, I said no and he still shoves his hands in my pants to feel up my booty. Repeatedly. Can I get a capital NIX? And in that order?! Lol

Online Dating Adventures

sooo ... he has a Master's degree and works in politics, right hand man of a Senator, is 36 y/o ... and he says "... unless I wonder into a "bad" part of town ..." mmm, next!

Online Dating Adventures

My morning mail revealed this message "hi am aaron am in norton,ma am 29 am 5'9 and about 160-165 pounds hope we can chat but its up to you i have blue eyes ." I love how the blue eyes part was added as an afterthought, lol. Btw, except for name and eye color the rest of the info is given at the top of message in the summary, so he really just reiterated what the dating site already told me.

Online Dating Adventures

Mr evolution responded! "Well it's obvious to me you don't get my sense of humor, and I won't even address the online dating thing you are doing the same thing;). It's cool though. I just made u waste five mins reading this, lol." Touche.

Online Dating Adventures

so I pull up the profile of the latest guy that has contacted me and the "match" advisor lists "ya'll have issues" instead of listing the % we are compatible ... Ummm, next!

Online Dating Adventures

so I replied to the penguin guy with "Hi! How are you?" ... His response you say? "6 millions years of human evolution and this is the best line you can come up with? :)" ... Is this guy crazy? Can I repeat myself? Wtf?!

Online Dating Adventures

so in my inbox is a message. It starts with "Hello my little penguin princess" ... Wtf?!

Online Dating Adventures

so I found out that there are degrees of single-ness.! Here's how one suitor ranks them: "on a scale from Single In That Good Old Fashioned 1950's way to Modern Girly Vogue Magazine Single /non involved with anyone at all for - 1 month /non involved with anyone at all for - 3 months /non involved with anyone at all for - 6 months + /date rarely if at all /date once in awhile /a first date queen /dating 3 guys at once /phasing out a boyfriend & looking around /has a booty call /has a booty call that's actually a boyfriend /is prone to sleeping with someone on a first date"

Online Dating Adventures

so my inbox had this message "I must say I love your profile every picture you got up Is like seeing a piece of art, God truly made you look flawless." WOW flattery will get you everywhere, too bad he's only 21 ...

Online Dating Adventures

so, his profile starts off with "Have a job currently that am using to support my goal of getting a Phd in Phycial Therapy." Does this mean he already has a college degree? Seriously couldn't tell from reading his profile. If he can't spell it, he really shouldn't pursue a career in it ... ijs ...

Online Dating Adventures

So I check my inbox and I get a message from a guy. Not sure what he was saying so I pulled up his profile ... "Self-summary: Well lady I'm an easy going man all I want is honesty respect n just for a women dat knows how to treat a man n if not we could be friends ..." Wtf?!

Online Dating Adventures

ok, so the next guy that sent me a message has a very ... Short profile. I look at his pics and I start doing the head bob. Not sure why (yet). I keep looking, the last picture is him, in his Soul. I wonder if he was the hamster!!!

Online Dating Adventures

I received a nice message from a potential suitor so I look at his profile. At the top where it mentions compatability it says "y'all got issues," No lie!!! Guess I better leave this one alone ...

Online Dating Adventures

I learned something new! His profile says "... & for those of you who don't know what riding a wave its getting bent & drinking." ... Now I just need to figure out what bent is :/

Online Dating Adventures

So I sent the "thanks for movie, wine, popcorn" text when I got home yesterday. He did ask that I text so he knows I made it home ok, as he hauled @$$ in his Mustang (after I started my car but before I put it in drive). This morning I wake up to "comin over next time" and then "Friggen sexy! I can handle u" ... O_o ...

Online Dating Adventures

So I decided to see 21 Jump Street or the American Pie movie. I get a message from a guy who looks kinda cute from his pics asking me out. The warning sign should have been his profile page. Basically said he was only looking for a hook-up. I told him we have different interests, good luck, blah blah blah. Well, he wrote back saying he could change for me and to give him a chance. Do y'all the sucka sign on my forehead? So, I invite him to the movies. It starts off ok, he brought wine, paid for my ticket, offered to get me popcorn and a soda. Very attentive. So we were talking about tats and he decided to go get ice cream and popcorn for me. While he is gone I get up and chat with a couple sitting a few rows over, they had some interesting tats. My date comes back, sees me, and storms over to the seat. I finished my conversation and sat down. he asks, rudely, "so what the hell was that"? I can't believe this idiot was trying to act jealous! Oh no, story is not over yet. He slurps down his ice cream acting like he's 'going to town' and part of it gets on his shirt. Well he excuses himself to clean up and as soon as he leaves his seat he is texting me. It's as if he grows a set of balls behind a text message. Basically saying I'm going home with him and all this junk. I sent back "no. No I'm not." nice and simple. Honestly? I had more fun with the couple I chatted with. Wish I switched seats and sat by them instead.

Online Dating Adventures

So what is it with this next batch of guys? They all lack vehicles!
One says he has epilepsy so he never got a license or drives, and the other says his car got stolen a few days ago. Stolen. Really? How convenient. Maybe I should make it a requirement? Lol

Online Dating Adventures

Omg, why did I give this now-weirdo my number? It's like they wait to show their true colors after they finally get the digits!!!

Online Dating Adventures

So I'm online on a dating website checking out profiles and I see one of my matches has this in his description:

"I think most women who visit my profile probably react in the following ways:

1. They are really thrown off by my pictures. I know that my pictures most likely seem to represent very unattractive characteristics. Let's be honest... Most women want security. I can offer no such thing. Or, at least nothing that most women would consider to be an attribute conducive of security in any typical sense of the word.

2. After browsing my profile for a minute or so, they laugh and/or are horrified at the thought that the staff robot has picked me as a potential match for them.

On a separate yet related note, I'm not as weird as I seem."

If you know people are thinking your pictures are weird, maybe you should reevaluate?! I mean, really?!!! It's one thing to stupidly not realize your effect on others and another to know your effect on others, post it and not change. Smh ~

Random Moments in Town

Remember the married neighbor? Apparently he found my number (sigh), hopefully he won't use it again ...
Btw, my peeping Tom, it's Kensey and her owner. She has gotten sooo big, and I never noticed he looks like Dale Jr ...

Travelling Adventures

A CV friend of mine took me to a restaurant in DC called Ray's Hell Burger. President Obama ate there shortly after taking office and made it famous. So I order my burger (peppercorn seasoning and aged white cheddar-yum!) and in walks this guy with a friend. They were both tall 6'3" - 6'5", he was wearing a suit sans jacket and a pink tie. He's a tad overweight, but he was wearing a smile, a gorgeous smile, that told me he is a nice guy.

So after some prompting from my friend (to me) and flirting (resulted from the prompting), he gave me his number. We shall see how this turns out!

I'm Not That Guy

Last post on this topic, I promise! Retired after this ...

So Half's fb account is back up! Yeah!!
And I get an inbox message ... Please delete the fb post you did. It violates my trust, blahblahblah. I didn't think it was a bad or offensive post. As a matter of fact here it is:
Tommybear deactivated his account :(
I want to say sorry to his fam, going to miss his sharing of his art on fb.

My friend/sis, says to just delete it (you do have to pick and choose your battles) so I will. Here was his update after he messaged me:

"So love, seems we couldn’t connect again and im hurt down to my core
How is it I see you in my dreams but you never seem sure
Genuine emotion I want to show you who I could be
Here I am lamenting on what was , and has been, and what I shall never seem to see
Had dreams of making life dreams of hugging my wife
... Those dreams dead I guess my only choice? Go on with life
Many questions from my fam and those who I consider friend
I can’t explain how I began to move toward this new end
It takes time to hit dead stop when love was dead drop
But mage is a power that seems to rise to the top
This latest ep has me gun shy no design to be the one
My light died inside so im shooting at the sun
How can I say love is what I want if I cant hold on to when its here
Too stubborn to change my ways? Should I give in to my true fear?
Is it enough to know someone cared enough for that short time
Or should I push past what couldn’t work and exist on that red line
The spot between emotion and the motion of moving along
I finally get it how these artists seem to put their heart into a song
She said my art shows one side and my ways show another
I guess I wasn’t the right brother to stay forever as her lover
How do I reconcile with real and say im easy with this now
The sappy side of my eaten away, I want to acknowledge alone as my new vow
But damn if I do that then I accept that she is gone
Oh well, heart wave goodbye to love and kick push life along
……
~mage, amethyst dragon in a haze of smoke created by life’s living hell"

I have to admit it pulls at the heartstrings a bit ...

I'm Not That Guy

So apparently I'm a heart-breaker. not a good feeling.

We agreed to be friends. As a friend, I decided to check-up on him and make sure he was ok and to embark on our new status - friends ... I guess you can tell that's not exactly what was going to happen. I mean, we have not known each other long, we only spent one weekend together (in a conventional way), but he is in deep. Like in love, deep.

So, he deactivated his facebook account and I feel TERRIBLE about that. You all must know how much I adore my fb ... That is his primary means of communicating with his family, and its now terminated. He also shut down his business site. I mean, when he goes out, he goes out big! When I try to talk to him about it he tells me, he is punishing himself. No more art, business, photography, fb (he also doesn't want to communicate with anyone or have anyone ask him what happened), he really cut himself off from anything and went into super recluse mode. And who is to blame ... me.

Being who I am, I take stock.
It is what it is so fix what you can, deal with what you can't, and move on.
He is a grown man and makes his decision, all I can do is stand true and be his friend if he even lets me.

I'm Not That Guy

It's hard to give up the "loving feeling". Whether it's being in love or being the one who loves or if you are lucky, both.

I started off my morning with a wake-up call from Half, and thank goodness he did because I clearly overslept! He started to tell me about his day and of course I had to ask a question. Today's what-if is what-if I had never asked? Well ignorance is bliss, but the stupidity ...

Back on track, so he was making his appointments and mentioned he needed to obtain a new doctor. Here's where my question interjected ... Why? his response was that he did not want a relationship with a doctor so therefore switches up every year.

Okay, I would be lying if I didn't say the warning bells in my head were now SCREAMING. I said it's not a relationship but a service transaction and they cannot fully get the whole picture unless they either see you continuosly or see your previous records, and in record sharing there is a chance for a late or non diagnosis for any health issues. He basically said he doesn't care, he is "Not That Guy" to build a relationship with anyone nevermind a doctor.

Sooo, it went downhill from there and ended with us both agreeing we would be better suited as friends (I mean when else are you going to find someone who can finish your sentences and read your mind?) and not as mates.

Another one bites the dust ...

I'm Not That Guy

So I am hearing this a lot, hence the topic change. Also probably the truth ...

We were talking about his daughter today, apparently he suffers from the stereotypical baby mama drama (child support not spent on daughter, laxx mothering, etc). His daughter is not quite 16 and has some health issues relating to obesity and diabetes and of course typical teenage laziness and not caring.

His "I'm not that guy" was about offering his daughter a home if her mom makes her get a job at 16 and makes her pay rent. His reasoning was, he offered her a place to stay in the past and she didn't accept it. He proceeds to tell me he is set in his ways at 40 and he will not put anyone before himself, including his kids. He says his mama taught him that.

Seriously?! I am not that woman, mother, or lady.

Based on earlier conversations about his mom, I don't think that is the truth. I mention it and he says well that's how he is, accept it. That's not how I am ... uhoh Shaggy, trouble in paradise.

Facebook Fairy Tale

The fairy tale is definitely unravelling ...

I am constantly hearing, "I don't do that" and "That's not me" and "I don't want to" and lastly "I'm not that dude" and this is in relation to visiting family ... I'm not talking about distant relatives, but his brothers and sisters. The brother he is closest to, he is content on visiting once every few months and same for phone calls. He doesn't want to make plans to change that because "they would be suspicious." Seriously???!

I think this is reason for serious concern. I am also seeing this in his interactions with others. He doesn't have a close relationship with anyone, including his teenage daughter. I don't want to live my life in a vaccuum, and while I might not be the most family-orientated person, I do value family greatly and try to spent time with them, weekly.

How much can a person change? Can a person truly change?
When I mentioned weekly family visits, he immediately recognized a potential issue and in compromise limited it to my family only and he would "tolerate" it for me. How long would that last? How long until we argue over it? Is toleration going to be good enough?

Facebook Fairy Tale

Ok, so maybe having fb in common is not a good thing. I'm used to posting whatever comes to mind. The good, bad, and ugly. And I can't vent or post about Half. And to top it off, he is commenting on EVERY LITTLE THING I post and people's comments, etc. I don't want him scaring off friends from commenting. I know I would feel less inclined to post on a friend's page if the only interaction was between her and her guy, especially if I hadn't met him.

Now I might copy some of Half's works, which means I had to have visited his page. And based on the frequency of of the quotes you get an idea of how often I have frequented his page. He is a little EXTREME. Like two minutes after I comment or post he has something to say. I mean you don't always have to comment, or participate, or acknowledge ... ijs ...

Facebook Fairy Tale

So I think Half publically declared he loves me.
I am Miss Oblivious, so that might not be the case.

I mean if you don't spell it out and it can be open to interpretation, then I'm just not gonna get it. Seriously.

Now, he didn't say it to me. It was back and forth chatter between him and a friend of his on my wall. He posted monkey pics (love me some monkeys) knowing how much I love them. Drew up a gorgeous line of future monkey apparel. Ok, sorry, back to the topic. Where was I?

Facebook Fairy Tale

Trouble in paradise ... resolved?

Can you truly inspire someone to be a better person? Or will they eventually fall back into step?

"I think I'll call her spark she's the great inspiration
Nah I think she's destiny on her Kelly ro ....motivation
Beyonce sass and Michelle Williams class
For her I will be a better man watch out world imma make a splash

~mage"

Sounds like it, time will tell ...

Facebook Fairy Tale

Pet names cont...

Tommy-bear
Tommy-boo
boo-cakes
Tommycakes

Facebook Fairy Tale

Trouble in paradise ... or at least the water stirring ...

He doesn't like to eat. or sleep. has issues with family. has issues keeping relationships. He cut his one of his brothers and his sister from his life because they do and say stuff that he doesn't like, agree with or wouldn't do. I couldn't cut out my family over that. You can't control what people do or say, just accept them for who they are, find their redeeming qualities and focus on that.

And he knows I whole heartedly do not relate or care for that mentality. We are at a stalemate. I know he gets that because this is his post:
"...Don't know if she gets it yet hmmm....jumped in deep and don't want to surface without her..."

Oh buddy.

Facebook Fairy Tale

so by now, ya'll must know I have a quirky side, right?

My latest endeavor is to slightly embarrass Half. I started to make up little pet names for him. Names that included Boo (since his family calls him Boo or Buddha) or some variation of Tom or Tommy (since he hates the nickname).

I should start a running list of all used pet names ...
boocakes
sugar-boo
boo ninja
boomage
boobear

Facebook Fairy Tale

So Half and I seem to be able to carry out long conversations. Those conversations are often not filled totally with words. The only other people I feel comfortable doing that with is my cousin and her sister. And once in a blue moon one of my sisters.
There isn't that rush to fill the silence, its comfortable. The space between words.

So here I am thinking that (I know, an almost poetic moment and thought) and Half, true to form, must have read my mind. He posts "morning observation....what i cherish most are not the long lovely conversations but the oh so comfortable silences that allow me to feel and think in between words."

Now you can see why he is my Half.

Facebook Fairy Tale

So it's Valentine's Day.

Of course he knows exactly what to say, darn artistic types, lol
I would post it, but I'm sure you all get the idea from the quotes from Half's posts.

Gotta love Saint Valentin.

So you would think I had an awesome day, head in the clouds feeling (loved). Nope. Details aren't relevant, but after a slight health scare I was back home. Found that Half sent me flowers (absolutely gorgeous) and he referred to me again as "Beloved" mmm, I like that.

Facebook Fairy Tale

So Half made this really sweet post on his profile "if i could only know you for one day i would mark every calendar February 14th so that would could live love and devotion year round, repeating an unspoken vow to shine in each others eyes eternally.

happy Valentines Day Beloved (life only gets better from here, even in the dark we shall find each others true moment.)"

Gorgeous, right?

So in response I had to post "Virtue intact, thanks for asking ... sheesh!"
I mean, did ya'll see the last part of his post. I suuuure didn't want everyone thinking I gave it up on the first weekend I met him!

Facebook Fairy Tale

Now this is deep.

"closed my eyes and missed her grasp
i now remember how to dream
held her hand and felt the world
i cant get out what i mean
sorry to my past
... i cant relate why it wasnt you
shes all i see in my tomorrow gaze
with her theres no end to what i can do
muscles feel tighter
when i force all i am into my actions
one day if its God's will
she will complete my ring of satisfaction
the ring of my completion
my bestie wow no doubt
since i know she sees my mind and heart
she knows all that im about
my words no longer matter
with her i know our worth
this is the moment that we both waited for
molded to be all for each other soul mates from birth

~m — with (my name)"

I hope I can match him in emotion. Not sure if this is dramatics or true. Based on his other posts I'm guessing this is true. Time will tell ...

Facebook Fairy Tale

Yeah, if I was mistaken about his intentions, he definitely spelt it out for me.

Check out Half's latest verse:
"let it be known baby girl you are a star
no need to leave this spot VIP is where you are
5 years from last friday we'll be proving them wrong
no need to front like im not locked inside i dance to her song
the stars aren't the destination for my heavenly body
... no need to try and have the world ...you already got me
and i grind the wheels of fate to turn our way
stapled the sun to the sky so forever lives our day

~mage"

Can you say awwww! lol

Facebook Fairy Tale

Ahhh, the honeymoon phase ...

"the sky is blue because i can see it
the sun is warm because i can feel it
the wind blows because i can feel it
the flower blooms because i can smell it

... dont ask me how i know it is real

food tastes better when i think of her
i sigh less and smile more when i think of her
i walk with more authority when i think of her
i look past the past and pass on pain once known when i think of her

dont tell me im impetuous and what i feel is not real

if i knew her for a second i would be a lifetime
if i knew her for a minute our future would be etched in the stone tablets of fate
if i knew her for an hour i would swim in her gaze forever young
if i knew her for a day reality would be re-written

dont tell me it is too soon

forever isnt long enough for us
we want more

~m..dreaming of an emerald heart"

In case I haven't made it clear, the quoted verses are what he wrote. Half is the creative, talented one. Me, not so much.

Facebook Fairy Tale

So I guess he enjoyed our kiss as well *")*

"ask around i been writing since ...well since birth
nope not the coming of mage since the beginning of the earth

that God for those soft lips and warm embrace
close my eyes she embedded all i see is her face
the smile type right wait until we get it together
about to sho these people how to spell forever
~mage"

And he's thinking long term? ...



I know I seem to be quoting him alot, but this boy can WRITE!

That said I believe I got a dreamy look in my eyes when I read his post:
"ask around i been writing since ...well since birth
nope not the coming of mage since the beginning of the earth

that God for those soft lips and warm embrace
close my eyes she embedded all i see is her face
the smile type right wait until we get it together
about to sho these people how to spell forever

~mage"

And I think he means it, when he posts about forever. He had another post which mentioned a ring (gulp), yes a RING. I can see him in my future. And considering how we interacted, we have a few differences but for the most part we are two halves of a whole.

Online Dating Adventures

Account disabled :) ... New topic, Facebook Fairy Tale

Facebook Fairy Tale

Half is now on the train back home. We did share our first (blush) kiss at the train station saying goodbye. Overall it was a fantastic weekend. He got along great with my cousin, which is very important to me - she's like my sister, and her famiily.

He and I got along great, and I met the Aunt and some cousins. She was absolutely fab! I totally adore her, I imagined she would be a little old school (she's only a few years younger than my dad) and I would feel like a third wheel, but instead I was welcomed into the family fold.

There is definitely potential ...

Facebook Fairy Tale

What did I agree to???!

Mass in the morning with the Aunt and then I guess breakfast. It seems he's determined to have me spend his family time with him.

Oh buddy ...

Facebook Fairy Tale

So today Half and I ventured out to the Norman Bird Sanctuary.
Our goal? Great convo, taking pics, and some exercise.
Our obstacles? Snowy rain :(

Of course I started the journey by checking fb, His morning post was "as long as they remain flurries im good with taking my camera out ...the sun didnt rise today, the remnants of her presence never allowed it to set last night"

... I'm kinda feeling like an fb stalker, but he must know I'm going to see it. It's on the newsfeed ...

Then he someone snuck another one on fb. And I thought I was hooked on fb! lol
"woke to a song am i wrong to watch joy become real
doesnt matter what you think i cant ignore what i feel
willing to work for my spot success is 95% preparation
grew up many times my stature guess which oversized monkey is set to rule the nation
but this time when i climb the skyscraper im swatting you planes
... dont try and alter my path see for her i 'll set the planet to flames
you cant stop a mage when the magic is right
so if your into my fall then youre in for a fight
i write. an epic poem set with the minor details of her face
see im an observant beast and its that same face that i trace
a gentle hand held just right my natural half
you either been there or you wish you had so dont even laugh
too soon to know forever so i will just say now
i see the bloom of something real to cultivate take my words as my vow

peace
~mage the amethyst dragon dancing in the clouds with the jade griffin ...."

am I the Jade griffin? I like green, jade though? Not so much ...

Facebook Fairy Tale

So I finally met Half in person today. I was trying to put off the meeting until it was time for the movie (Safe House at the Showcase Cinemas in Randolph and we did the Luxe seating, my cousin and her fam joined us), that way if it was awkward we always have the movie as a buffer.

Instead I picked him up early and we went for a walk on the Riverside Bike Trail, almost went for a swim, ate at the gazebo (yum Saks!!!), and then drove to the movies. Surprisingly, not even a half hour after meeting we were finishing each other's sentences and reading the other's (expression, mind, thoughts).

I guess he felt the same way :) his post was:
"if i called her amazing i would be understating life good movie great food...oh so delectable company .

so glad to be in RI"

Side note, he looks to be the same height as me, what was he talking about?! Saying he is a half foot shorter ...

Facebook Fairy Tale

ummm ...

So he got a mani and a pedi. Not sure how I feel about that (figure in the height thing also). Glad he is secure in his masculinity though ...

And then he sends me an inbox:
"..but at the end of the day..this Feb. trip was about you. I am interested and i want to make it known as such...not just talking about meeting you and getting to know you but putting effort behind my words...plenty of guys can talk it...but i live my words ...every letter is as real as the suns warming rays.."
AWWWWW!

Facebook Fairy Tale

So I guess he's excited to come visit me! :)

"twistin in bliss ready to inhale her scent her style
stand grand the man that sure to make her smile
im a beast yes its true but im still soft as rose petals
thats no queue for you to jump i still carry that metal
both sides of the coin im a spectrum kid
... upon my birth let me tell you what my mama did
she asked God to hold me dear..she asked the world to beware
she died years back but before she did she told mage to take care
told me to find a smile in my heart and never let it go away
so in two days i begin a journey to make that feeling stay
unapologetic i guess some are gonna hate
but lets get this straight only one man holds this weight
so the path cleared is mine dont be mad you cant walk it
i've known the pain that could remain so i know a chance when i talk it
dont need convention i tried that route
and you dont want to know how i feel so dont ask me what im talkin bout

blend sin with soul my angel wings platinum coated
read the words and understand my morning thoughts just exploded

~mage...the amethyst dragon"

Facebook Fairy Tale

So I hope Half doesn't think he is just going to get laid when he visits.
"Unwritten Love Story (based on true dreams)

never been too far but im looking to take the trip
the waters of life are perfect temp right now come lets take a dip
if i ever knew forever i want to see it in your eyes
a new way to be our future wrapped up in our thighs ......

TBC
~mage"

I mean do ya'll see that last line???

Facebook Fairy Tale

So Half posted:
"As people turn to vday I take stock in where I am now and the changes I am making to be even better. In the past I viewed love as something I could write about..or something I could view from the outside..even something I could make others feel ...but never quite experience it first hand how I should be able to

Just watched the end of love and basketball {love my phone lol} and it was moving for the first time."

The "L" word ... already? ...

Facebook Fairy Tale

So Half posted
"‎4 days and a wake up and destiny's design shall reveal another part of the path...."

You know what, I agree.

Facebook Fairy Tale

So he found our song in French :)

Since we both want to travel abroad, we agreed to brush up on our French. A Whole New World

Facebook Fairy Tale

So Half sends me an inboxed message. "odd question. how tall are you."

My response "Of all the questions to ask that is an odd one, lol. 5'8" and a half. I did shrink, I was 5'9"

His reply "lol @ you shrank. just curious. just in case that it matters to you...i think you may be like 1/2 foot taller than me (just for the record it matters not to me)"

What is with all the short folks? I guess I can just suck it up and get over it. I guess sometimes we have to look beyond out typical selections in order to find the right person.

I hope I can still wear heels ...

Facebook Fairy Tale

On my fb newsfeed a posting by Half.

"took a running leap and .......

never heard her voice
but what she whispers in my ear.
damn.
... never touched her skin
but my fingers spiral around.
damn.
yet to wrap her tight
but i inhale and smell her lingering.
damn.
we haven't laid in the sun
but i remember speaking to her about the fantasies the clouds formed.
damn.

i knew her
know her
known her all along

i have seen her
sown her
now we are strong

i dig her
dug her
she is what i prayed for when i was young

i dreamed her
in those dreams went to her
reality called those dreams to a close
done

damn.

~mage"

This is about me ... wow (and uh-oh...)

Facebook Fairy Tale

He wrote a fab verse, I believe I am the subject ... :)

"tip my hat to tomorrow all respect for whats to come
no regretting what i've done my past has formed the future's son
now i'm numb to all the hate it's what make my success great
she was written in the stars now she's in the flesh needed to wait

... the sun and the moon share the same sky so i took a page from their book and look
what's to come was written in the stars that the sun and moon rule together
~m"

Facebook Fairy Tale

So apparently Half and I have a song.
A Whole New World by Peabo Bryson & Regina Belle

Not sure how that came about, but now I hear it constantly on The Blend, the radio, TV, everywhere ... I really don't even like the song! lol

Facebook Fairy Tale

So we had updated our fb profiles to say we are in a relationsip and I get a friend request from his Aunt. Oh buddy!

Yeah, he was making plans on us meeting at some point, but the reason our relationship status was updated was purely for fun on my part. Everyone has a fb boyfriend/girlfriend/whatever. And just because they list it doesn't make it so.

I feel so bad because his fam and friends and clients (cringe) are all curious about what's going on. Guess I didn't think that one all the way through ...

Facebook Fairy Tale

So in a silly moment I posted this on Half's wall:
"One more week! Want to be my fb boyfriend? Lol"

He gave his consent, so it was fair game! I updated my relationship status and tagged him.

Hi, my name is Susan, and I am a facebook addict. It has been 10 minutes since my last silly update, lol

Online Dating Adventures

The question I hate the most "why are you still single" like duh! I wouldn't be if I met the right person.
So I replied, "I haven't met the twin of twin."
He said eeew. Lol!

Online Dating Adventures

Remember a while back I had the guy that asked to what degree am I single? I had relied that I was unaware that there was anything other than single or not single and that I fall under the first one.

His response is "There most certainly are degrees of singleness ... you could be in an any one of many situations ... all of which slide on a scale from Single In That Good Old Fashioned 1950's way to Modern Girly Vogue Magazine Single

/non involved with anyone at all for - 1 month
/non involved with anyone at all for - 3 months
/non involved with anyone at all for - 6 months +
/date rarely if at all
/date once in awhile
/a first date queen
/dating 3 guys at once
/phasing out a boyfriend & looking around
/has a booty call
/has a booty call that's actually a boyfriend
/is prone to sleeping with someone on a first date"

Wow!

Online Dating Adventures

So I was approached by a guy on one of the dating sites. His message was along the lines of, "hey, cute picture, nice profile, wanna chat, blahblahblah..." I pull up his profile and all I could think was "seriously freaky profile pic!" My first impression ... however the creativity in his photo, OUTSTANDING!

Online Dating Adventures

5'2", 5'5", 5'3" - what's up with all the shortness?

Random Moments in Town

Why do guys assume its ok to hit on you after your work-out? I'm hot, sweaty, and I probably smell - not exactly on a "cute, flirty" mode ...

Online Dating Adventures

So I get this message (cute short guy with fantastic green eyes ~ sigh) and I stare at it for a good long while and I still haven't deciphered it ...

"i am looking for that special someone in my life.......and i will talk to tom and go to bed for work to tom up at 500am ok good night.................you are very pretty have a goo ."

A direct quote ...

Online Dating Adventures

So one young guy (22, not trying to be a cougar) has been very persistent about meeting me. I was finally going to cave when he says (and excuse his spelling) "by the way im not looking for a relastionship looking for other thinkgs"

Awww hell nah! I bid him adieu and good luck on his search.

Online Dating Adventures

So I received an email from a potential suitor. After the fluff (great profile, you're cute blahblahblah) he asks "So how single are you exactly :)"

I wasn't aware that there are degrees of single-ness ...

my response: "Not sure where it fits on the single spectrum but single only because I haven't met my other Half yet?"

Facebook Fairy Tale

So now that Half and I have mentioned the possibility of exploring a relationship he posts:
"The dilemma of the long distance relationship...is it possible? Just out of curiosity....please don't hit my inbox with questions sheesh

I'm finding it more and more prevelant now but the success rate is low, then so is the success rate with close proximity relationships."

And I thought I was bad, smh ~

and I couldn't resist responding. I mean he could be talking about me ... or someone else ... perfect means via inbox.

Facebook Fairy Tale

In response to a talk about jewelry, I posted a picture of an Amethyst LeVian ring set in Strawberry Gold with chocolate diamonds on Half's page (btw, Half and Twin are the same person). And he makes a joke and says "I could hold your hand and live vicariously through you." I hit the ground running on that one and said sure, anytime. That prompted the start of our email exchange. It was really cute so I must share:

"soooooooo well my option to hold your hand and live vicariously through you was in jest (while still having the weight of a serious statement) ...that...was not the response i expected.

so with that said, let me say this, there is more than a passing interest here. i do indeed find you attractive ...beyond physically attractive....and the prospect of having the chance to hold your hand would be one worth exploring.

just felt that needed to be put out there (why do i feel like that was a well worded "do you like me ...circle ye or no" statement)"

Now we know how much I treasure grammar and spelling, I did happen to find it in my heart to overlook that.
