 The scoring part is okay, but you get to put in a small brief over yourself, and about 50 keywords... It helps weed out the people you'd much rather avoid... (too bad that doesnt work In Real Life)

     So one fine day I checked the site, and checked people who had clicked to meet me. I saw this Guy Up Yander goofing off in his picture. His keywords didnt match mine for nuthin! Except one, "Christian". 'Good enough' I guessed and clicked okay back. Took awhile, but we got to talking and he was a really fun, nice, genuine, hilarious guy. But I didnt have an interest in him romance wise.

     Then I brought him to another site (I wanted the referal points hehe) where he and I talked. He didnt participate much in the site, but I thought it'd be a good idea since he was in the seattle area, and the site was going to have a party over by there for Washington State. We had 1 phone conversation, he had mentioned he collects ticket stubs from the movies he's watched, I casually said "Yeah so do I." He got soooo excited, it kinda freaked me out  But apparently that was enough for him to get an interest in me, atleast to meet me.

     Then nearing February he IM'ed me on a bad day. I was so upset that my tax return was lower this year than last years, and I had a solid job through this last year, along with a second part time job. The year before I hadnt had a job for 2 months, and still made more! And I was really sad because I hadnt seen my mom In two years (she lives in Portland, OR.) and I was supposed to go down for my cousins birthday, I was taking him. Things just weren't working out .



      I was really down, and pretty cruel while Duke was trying to cheer me up. Which later I felt horrible about and apologized. Eventually I got the good news I'd be able to make it!    Well Then he asked me "Which route are you taking?" I told him "I-90 over to Seattle, then I-5 down," and heeeeee said, "You're stopping to see me, right?"

    And thats all it took, on February 4th I headed out at 9:30 and met Duke after he got off work at 1:30 am in the morning. Now let's get one thing straight... I also didnt think he was the most attractive guy from his online pics. I was confident in meeting him because I had my male cousin with me. But I had figured Duke was about 5'7, with brown hair, I didnt know what colour eyes since he wore sunglasses in his pics. Even though he had told me before, I kind of spaced out everything he said... heh....heh.... hmm... ANYWAY.
     So in walks this 6'4 tall blonde guy and my heart jumped into my throat! HAWT!!! Is my first thought and 'Why is he walking toward me?' Was my second... It was him! The guy I had come to meet! Why didnt he tell me he was so tall?! Oh wait... he did.... hahahaha... He handed me a Rose, and an Atlas because I told him I didnt have a map, I was just going to head that direction. (he listens carefully) Eventually we headed to Sheri's and talked some more. Er... Correction, he and my cousin talked, I fell asleep on his shoulder!  

    By the end, we had a big hug, and I was on my way down to Oregon. That's not the end of the story though! There's more later, but for now I'm off to take my ritual Sunday Bath. I grab the sunday paper, put on some music, run my bubbles, and relax until the boyfriend calls from break at work.

To all those reading, thanks for sticking with me!
