Disaster
-
This was, of coarse, bound to happen. I have an update for you, but it's not a good one for me. It's 12:17 AM where I am right now, somewhere just outside of Los Angeles. Crystal calls me a little while ago. The only problem being is that she's moving back to San Francisco effective Thursday because of a dying family member she is close to. So I guess my problem is solved. I'm definitely going to tell her how I feel about her before she leaves. But, it seems, my fortay with love had a few bugs and a couple of syntax errors. My love life IQ is one semicolin short of a complete program, and no matter how hard I try it won't compile unless I add that one simple symbol, but the key's stuck and I'm not smart enough to cut and paste it from a notepad document. And it seems when it comes to love for me I've got a frozen program, and no matter how many times I press "Control Alt Delete" Windows 98 won't work and what I really need to do is minimize everything and open pview95.exe. I've decided I should stick with that I know - programming - and forget this futile flirtation with romantic intrigue. If it counts for anything I am going to try and kiss her before she leaves. I really liked Crystal, a lot more than I liked any other girl, ever. Running your own business can be a lonely enterprise. Working alone, in a damp office with only the radiation eminating from the computer monitor to keep you comfort, can get lonely. Well, at least I have you guys. You seem to care. And that honestly counts for something.
I could start spouting some crap about how now is the WORST time to confront her with your love as she is in a vulnerable and "assailable" position. I could continue by saying that you are being very unfair to launch this attack just as she is about to leave, putting her in a huge dilemna which just cracks her psyche in twain. I could say all of that, but I won't... Adam Arthur wrote: it counts for anything I am going to try and kiss her before she leaves. Hey, my only real advice is don't make a fool out of yourself by stumbling into a force kiss with her. Get her new number, get her address, buy some train tickets to LA. Romance her from affair and visit her. It will be a lot harder but she will notice it a lot more as you have to make a greater effort. Adam Arthur wrote: Well, at least I have you guys.

Get a grip, Adam! Your timing is off, so what? The lady has a family crisis on her hands, and all you're worried about is how inconvenient it is for you! That doesn't exactly demonstrate how much you care for her, does it? You're close enough for weekend visits, so show some support for her in what has to be a rotten time for her. By all means, let her know how you feel for her, but however the chips may fall, plan to visit her, and show some concern for her situation. Be there for her, put her needs a bit ahead of your own, and you might be surprised where it leads in the long run:-D Besides, SF is a whole lot nicer place to visit than LA. Just don't be dropping the ol' wallet...

Just like everyone (pricks don't count) already said. It's not a disaster. It's just some minor difficulties. Life almost never goes as it was planned and so your ability to adapt to situation at hand will decide your ability to achieve your goals. Don't give up. A lot of people have long distance relationships at this day and age. Sometimes it works even better than being next to each other every day.

Ya know, I can handle the daily "What's your favorite xxxxxx" from Nish (although that's wearing a little thin too), but I'm not the slightest bit interested in your love life. I'm sure a lot of guys have liked Crystal, but we haven't heard from them yet, and I personally don't care that we ever do. If you wanna whine to someone about this crap, go find a priest or call your mother. Some folks may not agree with what I've just said, and they might even say that I'm being a complete prick, but I'm not here to be a freakin politician.

Bad Idea. Telling her *now* when she's under external emotional pressure will only hurt. She knows she has to cope with the death of a family member, which is at the moment more important than anything else. Just now being there for her, with her, without requesting a response is much better an idea. Trying to kiss her is a bad idea in around 90% of all instances of this scenario.

I had a long distance relationship from San Francisco to San Diego. That's an hour and a half more driver. I was great! Then I talked him into moving in with me. The long distance relationship was a lot better. Enjoy it! Cathy Life's uncertain, have dessert first!

Cathy wrote: had a long distance relationship Cathy wrote: That's an hour and a half more drive Not to be raining on a bad situation but is that considered a long distance relationship in America? My word! I regulary, two, three times a week, visited a friend who lived two hours from me, and we were just friends, nothing more. For a partner, lover, girlfriend I would have done double that at least twice a week. I would consider my first relationship lond distance. She lived in northern Namibia and I lived in southern South Africa, Cape Town. That is a 24 hour drive. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa "The greatest thing you will ever learn is to love, and be loved in return" - Moulin Rouge Martin Marvinski wrote: Unfortunatly Deep Throat isn't my cup of tea Do you Sonork?

Actually it is pretty close to that. LA to San Francisco = 380 miles or about 5 3/4 hours San Diego to San Francisco = 513 miles or about 7 3/4 hours The above times are calculated at 65mph since most of the long haul freeways in California have speed limits of about 65 - 70mph. This is assuming you drive at posted speeds. If you are aware of your surroundings and used to avoiding California speed traps it is possible to average 85 - 90mph pretty easily, most Californians drive at those kinds of speeds whenever possible. At 85mph average speed the times reduce to 4 1/2 hours and 6 hours respectively, and even 1 and 1/2 hour difference. I guess now we know how fast Cathy drives, don't we. ;) Jason Jystad Cito Technologies www.citotech.net Sonork ID 100.9918 >-------------------------------------------------< Every program has at least one bug and can be shortened by at least one instruction -- from which, by induction, one can deduce that every program can be reduced to one instruction that doesn't work. >-------------------------------------------------<

I'd personally rather spend an hour more in the car listening to my music than spend 520 more on petrol (or gas, as you call it). Simon Nobody does chicken like MFC Sonork ID 100.10024

I've noticed no significant difference in fuel economy between driving 65 and 85. I measure this by a long trip I used to take regularly. If it was a weekend where troopers were more likely to be about, i'd drive the speed limit (like a holiday weekend), but if it wasn't, i'd go 85 or so on average... I always had to fill up for gas at the same places and used no noticably different amount of gas. -- Where are we going? And why am I in this handbasket?

It's so bad it's comical. You meant to be funny right? The only thing worse than that is when people use computer terms for sexual innuendos. Man that's cheezy. Anyway, best of luck in romance and programming. Just don't confuse the two... X| Why not throw away a dime? I throw away ten pennies all the time.
