I feel so awesome! Kalloon and I just talked for real for the first time. I was able to hear his voice and see him, and he was able to hear mine (the only webcam I have takes quite a bit of time to set up so we didn't use it).

It feels amazing to be able to speak with him for the first time, and I'd like to think that overall it went really well. We talked about ourselves, our interests, it was good.waii

So I asked a girl to lunch a couple weeks back and i finally get a reply:

"Sorry it's taken me a week to get back to you! Because of the fires, it's been insane at work! If we could meet at Starbucks, that could work! (gives her number)"

[up][up]Read my post, it says I wasn't able to set up my webcam. It was over Skype. I didn't mean to put in the "in person" part.

But the reason I'm so happy about is that before today we were only able to communicate through chat due to hardware problems. Now we can actually hear each other, and it is wonderful.

I'm hoping that next time we talk like this I'll be able to set up the webcam, so that he'll be able to see my face.

@Connie: Frankly I'm surprised y'all haven't sent photos of yourselves already,...why Musey knew what I looked like long before skype,let alone the recent hook-up that resulted from the equally strong personal chemistry from it.

I know the web-cam will probably be ready,and it'll be great,but if problems happen,...is that an option,cuz then you've got his actual face to go with that voice,even if it isn't exactly him.

No offense.

@Muk's response to me: [lol] (I should probably actually look for and watch that episode so I have full context though.)

Yeah, I getcha there. I just always have cold feet about this kind of stuff and worry far more than is probably at all healthy for me. Especially when I feel like the other person and I would be a good match.

[up][up]No, we haven't sent pictures. Neither of us has the hardware for it.

And considering the medium through which he's using Skype to make video calls (a Vita), it's either I get sound and video, or I get chat. And you know what, I'd be fine with either.

Neither of you has the hardware to take pictures? But don't most webcams come with that ability? And also most phones?

@0dd: It's one of the better episodes. Gotta love Neil Patrick Harris.

My webcam is part of a laptop which requires significant time to set up due to reasons, so taking a picture isn't very convenient with. Not sure if the Vita can take pictures with it.

As for phones, I have one but not the capability to transfer pictures to the computer. Not sure if he has a phone or not, but I do not believe so.

Do you have Windows Movie Maker or some other similar software on your computer? You can take a picture with your webcam using that, perhaps. It's not ideal, but it's not very difficult. (If you don't have it and you're running Windows 7 or higher, you can just download it from M$'s website for free.)

@Muk: I haven't seen much of the show in general, so yeah, I should get on that. But either way, like I said, cold feet just freezes me in place too much.

Okay, I'm confused about this coworker I like who is probably married again.

First, I thought that the guy's weird, potentially double-meaning name, lack of Facebook activity, and unabashedly fake college meant she'd made him up as a joke. Then I discovered he's a deployed serviceman who definitely exists. Tonight she put a date on the "married" life event. May 2003. She was born little over ten years before that. I don't know what to believe again.

Sounds like they're messing around. Like that time in high school when two of my hot female friends put "in an open relationship" status with each other. Sadly, it was not true. :/

Agh, man I want to see her again so much. Yet she's out of town until the 7th.

I keep thinking about her. WHAT IS THIS SORCERY?!

I'm not obsessed.

But thinking about her... makes me giddy, happy, in a great mood. Hell cuddling with her gave me a high far exceeding any drinking ever gave me.

Cuddling is more intense than drinking?
