Once upon a time...a long time ago...I used message boards a lot.
"Board Buddies come...and Board Buddies go"...but one seemed to stick the most.
See, Wendy knew Red. Red knew Dunkel. Dunkel knew Chavez.
I didn't want to flirt at first, I was a little hesitant.
I remember dropping something off at Wendy's house and her telling me that I was going to flip when I saw what Chavez said...something about "*pulled Snaggle down into lap* There, much better" or something to that extent.
He interested me.
He was mysterious.
Then, he stopped coming by.
Damn computer hacker.
Anyway, one day I get an email. I was just rereading it. He interested me and the part about his brother, Samuel...it won me over.
The race began.
I had to get a hold of that boy.
Wendy could tell you all the hell I went thru to find that boy.
Montgomery City? Monroe City? No, Emden.
Things have changed.
Relationships end.
But before I let him go...let's recap that first email.
Let's see what won me.
Let's see what got me to want him.
What led me on.
What got me to the point I'm at now...a breakup and breakdown later...here it is, Pasted EXACT:
-------------------------
Sorry for not replying for a long time, I've been really busy. You need to send me your address (street) and phone #, so if I ever decide to come down there I can get a hold of you.
