Seaking60 and I first met in in art class in high school. I had reluctantly taken the class. It was a requirement, and I didn't really want to take it. But near the end of the year... Oh, I was a sophomore or a junior and she was either a freshman or a sophomore, I was a year older and ahead of her. Anyway, It was nearing the end of the year and during the class this weird girl started talking to me. We both had a couple things in common but that was about it. I remember I was bouncing my leg, I do it unconsciously and sometimes I just can't stop, and she put her finger right at the point where my leg peaked so every time my leg went up she'd poke it. The teacher told us to stop messing around and I just said it wasn't me it was her and the teacher responded, "Oh you like it." I was flabbergasted. Now, mind you I was and still am very thick headed, I couldn't even tell she liked me. I had it in my head that no girl could possibly like me. Of course my friend in the class and the teacher and probably everyone else in the class could tell.
Oh, I forgot to mention a few things. Like the fact that she stalked me and it still never dawned on me that she liked me. It didn't help that I gave her all the information. She asked for my school schedule, I saw no harm in giving it to her. What I forgot is that my student ID, my dads name, my address, and my home phone number where on the sheet with the schedule. Now back to the rest of the story.
Near the end of the year she had told me about gaia and given me her number, and yes I was still thick headed, I've been given phone numbers but a few girls but it never dawned on me that it was because they liked me. Like I said i figured no girl could ever like me. Well I made a gaia account and we started talking on there. That was my first account, fireheart_thunder. We would talk in the fishing rooms whenever we got the chance. I tried to call her once and, as sad as it sounds, I was relieved that no one answered. She had gone to Florida on vacation. But like I said we talked on gaia in the fishing rooms. It was sometime in November that i noticed she was trying to tell me something or ask me something that for some reason she couldn't. I told her to just calm down and ask me. She asked me out.
At first I was reluctant. I didn't really want to date anyone because my definition of "going out" was to take the girl out to eat, buy her fancy things that sort of stuff. so I explained to her that's why I couldn't accept her proposal. Then she said that I didn't need to do that stuff. To her "going out" was just loving each other and calling each other boyfriend and girlfriend. I must admit this was good news to me, so I accepted. I found out afterward that at the end of the year right after art class she was asked out by 4 guys at once. One of which was dating a friend of hers and one was..... well lets just say if he touches her I can not be held responsible for my actions. The other 2 were harmless, I knew both of them. She showed me her diary and it turned out that she had had a crush on me since the day she met me.
Let's see.... Oh when I met her parents. I first met her mother, very nice lady. She liked me the moment she met me. I met her on Halloween night. Seaking and I were going on our first date. We went rollerblading. on a side not: neither of us can remember the exact date we started going out, so we use our first date as our anniversary. Meeting her mother was no problem, it was her father that worried about. I was so nervous that when I was walking the 2 miles to her house a chihuahua started barking and my heart jumped into my throat. But after I met him I knew I had nothing to worry about. The only think I had to worry about was taking his teasing too seriously, but when I accept it or just not fall for the tease I ruin it for him. But when I leave for college he misses me as much as seaking does lol. The only real problem was her sister, I still don't like her. But it works out, seaking doesn't like her either.
I am so glad I met seaking. If I hadn't I wouldn't be the person I am today. If you've read my first entry you'd know that I used to be suicidal, she is now my reason for living. When we started dating everyone said that my attitude took a total 180, and for the better. I love my girl more than life itself. Oh I wanted to add the lyrics from the song Pride and Joy by Stevie Ray Vaughan because they describe how I feel about her:
Yeah I love my lady....shes long and lean
You mess with her....youll see a man get mean
You mess with her....youll see a man get mean
The rest of the song describes how I feel about her as well but I like those lyrics the best. There are other songs like Don't Want to Miss a Thing by Aerosmith and Hanging by a Moment by Lifehouse and Amazed by Lonestar and a couple other songs that show how I feel about her. She is my one and only I'm always amazed by her. When I'm with her I don't want to miss a thing. She always has me hanging by a moment. she is my pride and joy.
