It&#8217;s been about two years since we&#8217;ve seen each other&#8230; and this is all sounding pretty bland so far. There&#8217;s no way I can capture all the things going on in my head and distill, it into a few paragraphs&#8230; too much history involved for that. Honestly, I feel way to preoccupied to write, but this is important&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Things are better than they&#8217;ve ever been. Finally, *finally*&#8230; we get to spend some time together on our own terms. I&#8217;ve said it before, but it bears repeating: this is the first time we&#8217;ll have spent more than a couple hours physically together on consecutive days, ever, out of our entire 5+ year history. Pretty amazing. All I ever wanted was a chance&#8230; a chance to spend some time, be together, make her happy, just see how things work out&#8230; have a great time, enjoy each other&#8217;s company&#8230; you know, the usual :) It couldn&#8217;t happen, for one reason or another, until&#8230; tomorrow :) This is a dream come true, and for a guy like me without a great deal of direction in life (going where the wind blows me, as it were&#8230;), this is pretty heavy. And the surrounding details are totally in place, too&#8230; We&#8217;ve got a nice place to chill at in bradenton; of course my very good friends nico and steph are waiting anxiously for my arrival&#8230; it&#8217;ll be great to hang with them; I just got paid; I&#8217;ve got a cell phone now; been burning cds to take with me and enjoy with her&#8230; all in all, I&#8217;m pretty well equipped personally to make this a most excellent trip&#8230; and, best of all, I feel goddamn fantastic! The anticipation is palpable&#8230; I mean, this is something I&#8217;ve been looking forward to for 5 years&#8230; it was always just tucked away in the back of my mind&#8230; &#8220;someday&#8221;&#8230; I knew it would come, but I was kinda never expecting it any time soon&#8230; but it&#8217;s finally here!!!!! *shivers with delight*.<\/p>\n<p>I feel so loved. Not just by her, either. Things have been quite active here at blackmagiclabs&#8230; lots of change and lots of really really good vibes all around. I feel like I&#8217;m in the right place at the right time, doing the right stuff. A heartfelt shout-out to all my friends here that have wished me well, and have me in their thoughts&#8230; thanks a bunch all, and I look forward to seeing you when I get back (it&#8217;s my understanding that I&#8217;ll return just in time for a gathering&#8230;).<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll have limited internet access while I&#8217;m away (was actually considering buying an ibook before I left&#8230;), though I don&#8217;t expect to be spending lots of time surfing the cyberweb, or checking up on my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.redlite.org\/redlite.php\">bitches<\/a>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Okay, well&#8230; I think that&#8217;s about it :) See you when I get back :)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So&#8230; amazing times :) I&#8217;m about to leave for a trip that may very well represent the best week of my life&#8230; I&#8217;m flying to Florida to visit her.
