You may want to say 'four legger' lest anyone get the impression that you are talking about some other sort of doom.
True, ahem...four legger. :blushing:

well, for the record, the "date" went pretty well. he was a cool guy, we'll keep in touch. I'm moving in may so i don't know if i'll see him againg, but it was fun. i think I'm going to blow off the guy for thurs though. he doesn't seem as cool.

anyway, i like the site. i get loads of messages every day, but then, i have pictures posted. i was really happy cause the guy i met today said i looked just like he expected. I'm always afraid I'm going to dissapoint people when they see me. especially cause tons of guys on there think I'm real attractive, and i don't tend to think so. it was totally cool though!

You've never been stalked in your life by anything other than a polar bear and you know it.

Right, silly me, seals, not polar bears. Wrong part of the planet. You should move to greenland.

Nay, I'm just a dumb zoobie deluding myself. She did a really excellent job of letting me down easy, though, didn't she:

Lisa! said:
:sigh: How romantic!
I don't want you to betray to your zoobie identity! You do know that I'm not a zoobie and that's what's kept us apart from each other for whole our lives.:cry: :cry:

You are the morning light,
If I do not see You, I burn;
if I see You, I vanish.
This is my condition
in separation and closeness.
I can bear neither separation nor proximity."

Other than PF where Whozum and Gale met, has any other couple developed here?
Yep, I'm moving in with someone from here next week. I don't want to say who -- I'd rather surprise him.

I'll probably be in the LA/OC area in a few weeks for spring break if anyone is interested. I don't mean romantically interested, though. My heart will belong to the Los Angeles Dodgers starting in about a week or so, for the next six months.

My wife and I met on line through the Detroit Red Wings forum. Next thing I know, I'm living on Long Island.

Me and myself met here and fell madly in love. I can never break us up. Its a terrible love triangle.

Don't worry, Pengwuino, you're missing nothing. There definitely aren't any awesome women that live in Fresno posting on PF.
There aren't any awesome women in Fresno...period.

I'd love to hang out if only I had a car that works.
Maybe next time.

And, yeah, Russ, what's wrong with the available women at PF?! Though, you might have to act quickly; I've already entered the "Win a Date with Tom Mattson" Contest. :biggrin:
Quickly, huh? Well, fyi, I have a little family reunion-type-thing in Cleveland this summer...

Going to take along your telescope and stop by on the way through for some clear skies away from city lights?

I'm not sure yet - I'm not sure what the dates are and it depends on the moon situation (moon=bad).

Do you change into a werewolf?!

Actually, I do understand that. A group of the folks I work with were talking about that recently too, that we've all moved here from places with a lot more city lights, and we never noticed just how bright the moon can be all by itself! On a clear night, which we get a lot of, the moon can seem like someone shined a spotlight at the house.

Yeah, that's my problem too. I don't even have a car that doesn't work. Damn buses take hours to get anywhere.

Ok, I'll confess, I've been talking to someone I met online recently and I'm flying to meet them Sunday.

Woo hoo! Did you tell him yet that the other PF mentors have approved the match? :biggrin: Good luck! (And tell him we know where he works, so if he does anything to hurt you, he's going to have to deal with us! :devil:)

:biggrin: I don't want to frighten him too much. :redface:

In order to remain calm I've decided to binge drink from now until I board the plane Sunday. The Evo Child will just push me onto the plane, it's non-stop, then I can just stagger off once the plane stops.

Hey, with that attitude you can pilot the airplane!

Oh now that would be fun. I don't know what would be so hard, it's not like you have to go around any sharp turns, you just go straight the whole way.

Uh oh! Bad time for Greg to be taking the site off-line for repairs...you'll be going crazy without PF and thinking about the date ahead! (And we can recommend the appropriate PF mentor to follow you and make sure you're safe too...I won't say which because that would give away the location you're going to if you don't want to share that.)

Oh my god, PF *is* going offline tonight. :cry:

If he runs out of the airport screaming, can I call you? :blushing:

Reagan, is that National? Oh please don't let it rain while I'm there, my hair will get frizzy. :frown:
