Ohh boy... I think my love story is kind of different, meeting this person online and all... Well some of you older members should know the member SimbaTheMighty. He doesn?t post much here anymore, but I talk to him on Yahoo or MSN almost every day. Petteri (STM?s real name) first started talking to me, October 2003, when we first joined the board. We were good friends and talked a lot, almost everyday. Around last September I can kind of tell that he started talking to me differently, and last December he told me that he loved me. He said he didn't know how this happened, especially since we were online friends. I always thought he was very sweet, but I told him I don't think I can fall in love with someone without spending time with them in person. A few weeks after he told me, I started thinking about him a lot. I could not get him out of my mind. My heart would even race at times when I thought about being close to him. (And sometimes when he told me really sweet flattering things) I loved hearing his sweet caring voice. He is handsome and I love his smile. (Web cam chats)
And well, when he told me in December that he loved me, a month later I started feeling the same. We all knew Petteri was coming to California for a vacation in April, and we were looking forward to it so much. We both were wondering if we would feel the same towards each other after meeting and spending time together in person. Petteri told me before he left for his flight, that is was ok if we didn?t get into a relationship. (Aww, he didn?t need to worry though) Well here comes April 26, Brad (the member SimbaLKD, or now known as Fuzzy) and I went to pick Petteri up from the airport. When Brad and I were getting something to eat at the airport, waiting for Petteri to get out, Brad asked me, ?So are you nervous?? And I said, ?No.? And then he said, ?Well that?s because you?re not thinking about it.? And damn it I did get nervous after he said that. :lol: After waiting for a while, I was looking at the ground, (Brad and I were sitting down) then all of a sudden I hear, ?WTF are you doing here?!? And then I hear Brad talking, and I look up and there was Petteri! (Petteri was asking that to Brad haha, because he didn?t know Brad was going to be there, it was a pretty big surprise, because Brad lives in Southern California, like a 6 hour drive to the San Francisco airport, where we were.) Then Brad gave him a hug then I gave him a hug. ^_^
Brad drove us around to see San Francisco, we went to the zoo, and then the road trip to Brad?s place (and Eric?s, the member Woes, they used to be room mates) started. (That was fun!) The next day was my birthday and Brad?s. Petteri gave me a golden heart necklace for my birthday and it?s really pretty, I wear it everyday. We stayed there for a week, doing fun stuff like going to Disneyland. Petteri and I started to get a little closer during that week? And like one week after he was here, we started kissing! ^_^ It?s a day I'll never forget.
After that week we went back to my house, and he stayed with me for 2 and half weeks. (We even saw TLKoB, he paid for most of it, he got really good seats too! That was so neat? And he bought me a tablet, he told me I?m such a great artist, that?s so sweet) Then after that, we went to Oregon to my mom?s house with Brad and Eric. And even though I had lots of fun with Brad and Eric, it was really great to be alone with Petteri? When he left we were both really sad? But Petteri is going to be here on August 7! (Really soon!) ^_^ He?s going to be here for 3 weeks. He wasn?t planning to be here again that soon, but he missed me so much once he left, that he wanted to come back as soon as possible. It?s hard being away from each other like this? But after he finishes school he wants to move here. Even though I love him, I couldn?t be in a long distance relationship if we never planned to eventually live near or with each other. It?s going to be at least few years till he can move here? But we?ll try to see each other a few times a year. Petteri also wants to come here during Christmas. (My mom and sister don?t mind, I always spend Christmas with them.) And I?m going to try to go to Finland next summer. (That would be so neat, I?ve never been out of the US?)
I don?t really have any love stories before this? This is the first time I fell in love. Of course I had crushes, but nothing like this.
I love Petteri and I can?t wait to be with him next week. :love:
