i'm NOT a tease!

so, yesterday i had FULL intentions of posting about the love affair i have with superman. my crazy ankles that i had to go to the dr for, and this thing called a JOB got in the way. so, it's a day late..... but here ya go: you may have noticed a person dubbed "kal'el" who posts occasionally on this blog. if you are not aware... this was superman's real name. the reason it was important for me to post yesterday, is because yesterday is the 2 year anniversary of when we met. well, of when we first spoke. well, ok.... of when i got the first email from him. let me 'splain.... in august of 2002, a co-worker of mine and i had a discussion of who gets more attention from men. redheads vs blondes. this discussion went on for a while, and another co-worker suggested we post our pics on match.com and see who gets the most results. sounds a bit foolish, i know.... but it would resolve our argument with relatively no effort on our parts. so, we posted our REAL pics and REAL stats on there and let the games begin. original bet was one month, but we didn't even get that far. the redhead won by a landslide. that is not the point of this story, but i like to always add that in. *wink* out of the 70-something emails i received, there was one that caught my attention. one from someone who sounded like he was almost normal. well, not normal --- but cool enough to respond back to. so i did. this man's wit and charm is, until this day, unmatched by any i know. we talked about life, love, and other mysteries.... and found we had a gazillion things in common. he loves music... maybe even more than i do.... and knew about some bands i'd never heard of. most importantly, he shared my love of *heaven music* THE CARDIGANS. who in the world likes the cardigans besides the two of us?? anyway, we talked everyday via email.... one day decided to talk on the phone.... and eventually he drove down from the city (OKC) to have lunch with me. during this process, i tried to always keep my distance. i mean, i have heard some HORROR stories about people who "meet on the internet." i told myself i was crazy for even thinking about being real friends with this guy, but i just couldn't stay away. my heart would flutter when i got an email from him, and each day brought some new information about him that was just too good to be true. so, he came here. we had lunch. we went to the zoo. we had FUN. we laughed and talked like we had been friends in another lifetime. that night, we went to a pub and had a few drinks with a couple he knew that happened to be in tulsa. i think he invited them along to let them see i was real, and that i was not a crazy lunatic. or a big fat guy pretending to be a 23 year old redhead. hehe. couple guy was one of his best friends, and even though he had a girlfriend... there were freaking sparks flying like the 4th of July. we'll get to that later**. ANYWAY, after Kal'el left that night, i knew that he would be a part of my life forever. he lives much farther away now, and even though we don't talk as much as we used to..... he is still on my top 10 favorite list. not favorite people. just top 10 favorites in the whole world. happy 2nd anniversary, Superman. Much love to you. **later** so, i would casually ask superman about his friend.... waiting for the day he said he broke up with the gal he was dating. (very sympathetic and unselfish... i know.) his dislike for this girl was apparent, so it was easy for him to tell me i would be MUCH better with his friend... .the hot, cool, funny guy #2. let's call him "HCFG2." I saw HCFG2 a few times after that, always accompanied by the clingy girlfriend, so ol' Red didn't get much face time. however, last summer... HCFG2 and Superman came down to tulsa. just the two of them. YAY for me. i'll leave all details out, because they don't really matter..... but..... the mutual attraction between Red and HCFG2 was apparent to everyone. long story short.... HCFG2 and Red started dating, they had mucho fun, and are still friends even though they are no longer dating. (HCFG2 dumped me. but that's not really the point of this. HAHAHA. those of you in disbelief... i know.... but he wasn't right in the head when he did it.) ANYWAY..... HCFG2 had a brother that was also a HCFG and he invited me to check out his webpage. his BLOG. which, is how i met most of you. so, really.... this whole chapter in my life is all because of Superman. Thank you, Superman. We all heart you very much. XOXOXO
