Love and Waiting
9 years ago
Before I get too far, let me say this will hopefully be an outlier among my journals for several reasons. First; I'm American - without being too indecent, I can say international politics is not something that affects my day-to-day life often. Second, I try to make a point of not discussing details of my relationships with females unless I have permission, or they really did wrong by me.
Well, there needs to be exceptions to every generalization, so here it goes.
If anyone is keeping track, I do have accounts with the same username on a few dating sites. I've been chatting lately with a charming lass who I would really like to know better, and who has recently been on vacation to Turkey.
*Breathes deeply*
Today, late in the afternoon in my part of the world, I learned of a coup attempt in Turkey... as if the news from Dallas and Nice hadn't put enough damper on the week's news. Naturally, my first thought is of the beautiful girl I've been courting, and hoping against hope that she's nowhere near the action, and that she can contact me soon.
*Raises glass* Here's to hope. Silly, childish, selfish, foolish hope...that no Americans get hurt in Turkey this weekend, especially a certain Furry from California, whom I haven't even rightly met except online.
Damn, I haven't felt like this for years.

Could be an accident, could be that it was hacked, could be she lost interest in me, could be that she died. Odds are low I'll ever know, since I didn't even know her right name. I know I shouldn't care...right?
It's not like we were very close, not like I know enough about her life to say I was much a part of it, not like she ever even accepted being asked for a date. No, I barely knew at all, now it looks like I won't...ever.
Romance is for fools, love is for children, and happy endings only means the publisher had a deadline. None of it is happening for me this year.
