Msgboard Chatroom Marathon
Sunday, January 27, 2002 by Elfkura | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Honestly, I would go to IRC for this kind of stuff, but if any of you have been there recently, everyone seems to be...inactive. Sooooooooo, out of boredom, I'm turning a thread among this msgboard into a chat room, anyone care to join? =P.
It's Sunday night, and I'm bored out of my mind. There's much to do, but I'm too lazy to get around to do it. My boyfriend is busying trying to get Visual Studios to work so I can't talk to him on the phone....and we can't seem to talk over the phone anyways...it'll just be silence mostly.
New Semester started........so anyone alive out there to join Elffie in this chat marathon? =P
Let's try not to let this post hang for over 2 hours, hm? =P

When my parents got married, my father wasn't exactly earning a whole lot. He earned enough to support him and his wife. I wasn't in the plan just yet, but I came into existence 3 months after they were married. My father didn't have much funds to feed this big a family...and I was a sickly child.
My mother wasn't very healthy either, and my father travelled a lot, so I got left in my grandmother's care. When I was five, my mother got pregnant with my younger brother, and through that pregnancy period (my mother has horrible periods during pregancy), I was permanently settled with my grandmother....so I've hardly spent time with my parents while I was a six year old baby....

JavaBrain - I need coffee........
feline staires out across the coffee lakes and chocolate hot springs along the edges.
feline wonders if JavaBrain will stop long enough to grab a swimming costume on the way

feline has concluded that not all chocolate is created equal
i think i need advice on this one JavaBrain.
i am finding that i am unwilling to eat the posted chocolate, since while it sits there i am reminded of the kind and generous actions of a certain someone.
feline wonders if this means i need to get out more
but on the other hand, it is chocolate, and i cannot not eat it.

I feel like I've been cheated by time, and rather harshly too. I've dated Rob for about eight months now (June 11, 2001 - February 12, 2002) and for these eight months, I've not spent one moment of quality time with him.....
How would I define quality time? Well, I define it as having a good time with each other without the notion of school or some other dumb worries occupying 30% of our minds.
Time's cheated me again and again, and I feel like Time should somehow grant that back to me......... give me a few days off so I can spend it with Rob without having to worry that school comes and I have homework to finish.
So there's Spring Break.........
Elfkura plans for a good vacation getaway to be with Rob....
Elfkura gets her plans ruined by this so call thing called parents
Don't get me wrong. I love parents, but I wish parents will at times grow up and learn that a child who happens to be 19 years or older should start learning to have a life of his/her own. If my boyfriend has to go home for some weekends, I understand that.....and at times make him feel bad about it but was usually playing around. Besides, parents have their kids the first 18 years anyway..full time.
So I only ask for a time where I can fully spend it with Rob, doing things both of us haven't done for the past eight months...but the next thing I learn this past sunday? Parents want Rob home.....and chances of Rob staying in Houston? No clue.....may happen, but chances are a bit less than 50%
Okay, so I'm just a girlfriend, nobody big. I shouldn't demand so much of his time...... I shouldn't hog him like I own him.... this much I understand.........
But Rob won't even be here summer! 3 freaking months he gets to stay home.....and yet.... they've got to -take- him home for spring break.......
So where does this leave me?
I have a boyfriend..... I just haven't exactly spent time with him efficently for the past eight or so months...and maybe longer
By the end of summer, I'll have known Rob for 14 months..... we'll be 'together' for about 8 months.......(all of which is because school started).....and about 6 months apart......
I've promised myself that when I date, I will -not- be separated from him for long.....but look at it. I've dated him for almost the same length of time as we've been together.... I find that a very sad part of my life.
I've spent his first b-day since we started dating 20,000 miles away......
I'm going to spend his next b-day 200 miles away.......
Life's fucked up... to such a twisted extent I see can actually see straight..........
Yes, I'm bitching.........but hell, I've held this around for a few days now......and it's causing Rob and I have to have a fight every single day.
God help me.

Let me correct that.....
I've dated him for almost the same length of time as we've been -apart-.

Long distance relationships are very tough. Are you sure that's what you want?

In college I had a somewhat long distancce relationship and I later learned that my SI cheated on me when we weren't together.

It's not really long distance. He's only about two hours away from me, but we've been going out steady for a while now, and quite frankly, I love him enough to do anything...... but even that, I can't help but feel like I'm cheated by time.... I have a right to be sullen about it all....
I'm not worried about Rob cheating on me. There are some guys whom you can look and know if something's wrong. Rob hasn't learned not to hide things from me, and I don't think he'll ever learn either. I'm the master at that....because I've kept so much bottled up inside me over the past years, that hiding things I don't like doesn't take much effort. A trusty smile and a pair of radiant eyes always does the trick........
Cept recently, I've been prone to cry about everything...... I guess it was because I want to rant about it all, but haven't quite figured out where to start or what to say.........
Elfkura has only learned to keep things inside and hidden, and never to express it......
Horrid past experiences with that.... I'm still touchy about it.... I haven't learned to let go...
*sigh*

Hmmm... I've been through the long distant relationship thing...a few times.
They only work (and you be happy with) if you actually see eachother on a regular basis. It can seem like you are madly in love with somebody, but it's easy to feel that way when you aren't really with them all the time. You can, in thought, love the person. But how do you know what it is like to really *be* with the person if you aren't with them?
A good example of this is a guy who used to work here. Great guy. Was dating a Japanese girl (lives in Japan) he lives here. He dated her (seeing her twice a year) then was engaaged. Spent the last 8 or so years with her. Well, to make a long story short, things got in the way, they drifted apart, and they just broke up.
Time is a hard thing to regain. I do have a word from the wise (or maybe just the experienced): If you think that you are in love with this guy- you better figure out a way to spend time with him. People change. Either you grow with eachother, or you grow apart. the less time that you spend together, the less likely it is that you will stay the same. It's hard to explain, but just trust me on this one.
Have you told him how important it is to spend time with him? What about going home with him, is that an option?
My husband used to be an engineer on a Great Lakes freighter. He would sail for 2 months then have a month off (this was before we were married). I went to pick him up once after not seeing him for a month (the longest we had been apart). Even though we had written eachother and talked on the phone twice a week, when I picked him up, it was like meeting him for the first time. His hair was different, he had a tan, he lost a little weight...things that wouldn't seem odd at all if I saw him during that whole time. But it seemed odd. We were both a little uncomfortable. It was a strange feeling. Even though he loved that job (that is what he went to school for) he quit sailing after that tour was over with, and never went back. Our relationship was more important.
I have had other long distant relationships, and, well, they obviously didn't work. They didn't work because we were not part of eachothers everyday life. You miss out on the little things that make a person who they are everyday.
So, make it work! If you love him, and want to stick with him, you need to figure it out. Sit him down and figure out how to make time for eachother. If he feels the same way towards you as you do towards him, you'll be able to work it out somehow.
I wish you luck. It isn't easy, but where there's a will, there's a way!
