I was young for the most part....some were really ugly or creepy (sorry if that sounds really selfish) some were great...my first internet love was a guy named Jesse...he lived in a near by town and he always signed his emails 'from your mysterious lover Jesse' I fell.....but we stopped writing after awhile.... I spent my 16th birthday meeting a guy from the net with my Mom and sister...he was polite and good looking and older....it was great until he went away on a vacation and came back to tell me that he and his girlfriend got back together and that he calls her his fiancee because it sounds better but has no intention of marrying her then proceeded to call me a childish little girl...or something to that effect... One guy i met the first time was at a public park and we went for a walk and sat under a tree and he told me we couldn't leave there until I kissed him...I took off and never spoke to him again....until a friend I didn't know was also on the computer met him nd dated him... Now, I am seeinga guy (popssibly the guy of my dreams) and I met him over the internet. His name is Jason and we have a lot in common....our astrology says that we were lovers or enemies in the last lifetime and that there is a lot of passion between us...boy is that true! It's really incredible. So does that answer the question? >So here's what I was wondering...and of course, this is a somewhat >rhetorical >question, because Im not sure it can be accurately measured, but what >percentage >of ppl on this list _currently_ are/have ever been involved in >'Internet-Relationships'? > >Thought it might be a good 'thought for the day' > >We are a 'thoughts' list aren't we? > >James Erin Angel of the Zodiac ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 29 Jan 1999 04:28:04 EST From: Angeljlr98@aol.com Subject: Re: Re: ET: long distance relationships << Im not sure it can be accurately measured, but what percentage of ppl on this list _currently_ are/have ever been involved in Internet- Relationships'?>> I've been in 2. But I only kinda count the second one as an internet relationship. Even kinda count the first one cuz it was pretty much developed on the phone, so 2 long-distance relationships. The first one was this guy Tim...met him online, started talking to him on the phone, and found out he was a great guy...He came to visit, but that one didn't last too long. Second guy was one of my best friends, Ryan. I met him online in December, and in June, I went to visit him, and we pretty much just fell for each other. Then visited a few times...and now, here I am...in California. >i have a couple more questions that involve this whole >internet relationship >thing...what causes ppl to fall for someone they've >never met and might not >meet if they're thousands of miles away? might not meet...hmmm...can't really see that cuz I've met them both, but I think it's just cuz (ironically enough) they're so real. You don't know them, and they don't know you, so they really have no reason to show off. It's not about appearance or coolness, it's about genuinity (is that a word?) >are the chances that >it'll work out (realistically)?>> well, *crosses fingers* pretty good, I hope =) But on a normal basis...I'd say about 9:1 chance it won't work out. I'm just praying I'll be a part of that 10 percent. Take care. Love, Jamie *the everyotherday angel* ~Yeah, right...what will she be next?

Fulmer" Subject: ET: I don't know "I don't know" by Seth D. Fulmer 1/28/99 This letter started as a joke and then turned into a poem Now it's an ugly razor beast with sharp and pointy claws. How comes girls can capture men as if they were zoo animals? How comes men come so readily even if death is in their futures? Yesterday, a friend of mine, Holly, from New York, sent me her daily email as we've done every day before. She said in the letter so fine and simple that she had told me something earlier I then freaked out because I forget and that I'm a typical guy After talking to some people, and trying to recoup my sanity, I decided to admit I'm dumb, and tell her "I Don't Remember" That did take big guts and big guts I did give after sending her that email I needed to be changed I want her to like me I hate to play these games I'm a computer science major not a marble chess piece When I first had met her I could talk to her so fine Over email now however I fall apart like I'm twine I'm quite afraid now, though I'm sure it's alright, that when I meet her in two weeks all the seams will leave my mind I know that I can talk to her but everything I want to say is "How can I help you miss?" and "Is that door in your way?" The first time I got to spend a long time semi-alone with her I bought her a $5 t-shirt but she refused it with a smile I kinda like that, I kinda don't I kinda have no clue If I buy her a dozen flowers though Will it be a waste then too? I don't know. I just don't know I hate these social games I wish to God, life were so simple like if people were just holograms. Note: This did have profanity when I originally wrote it but I've decided long time ago not to put profanity in what I write. There are so many other more beautiful words in the English language, and in addition to that who said I had to stay with English? I have access to the languages of Latin, Spanish, and French as well.

This is one of the many poems that I wrote while sitting outside of my dorm building in the middle of the night when it was peaceful and quiet. "Moon Secrets" 6 October, 1998 The moon is a delicate flower Dwindling on in the night. All know it's there, But never pay any attention Or gratitude to it. It lights up our darkness And makes nights lovely. Its soft light peeking through trees Lighting up walkways romantically. The softness around the heart Is the soul, allowing all to see. I know the moon's secrets, For I have seen them, and It has seen mine. I pay attention to it, because It pays attention to me. I know all the moon's secrets, And it knows mine. I wrote this the second week I was away at college. You could imagine how alone I was feeling. All of my friends went away to different schools, and my family was about 100 miles away. I have no car here, and the only way I have to go home is if I call my dad. That's the only way I have to see my family. Then, I met my guy and he helped me make it all better. Well, I guess that's all. Love and Peace Forever, Jen _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

I've had an internet relationship before, and for those of you who enjoy pretty much any kind of physical contact in a relationship your sheer outta luck! I got seriously involved with someone, and even started talking to them on the phone and we became pen pals. THe only problem was she lived 800 miles away. And eventually it dawned on me were not meeting anytime soon, and right now were in the process of well, breaking up or whatever. And I'll never do it again cause Ill probably get attached to that person and then the harsh reality of not being able to ever really see them or be able to meet them hits ya and it sucks. Thankyou :-) ~~THe Formerly El Nino Drencehd angel ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 30 Jan 1999 03:10:25 +0100 From: "Dr. RomeAntic" Subject: ET: ......... not good at producing sentences right now... haven't spoken much since I saw Jude earlier this evening... have lot's to say though... here... PRAISED BE THE ONES... Praised be the ones that have ideals and live by them and for them, their entire lives Praised be the ones that dare to love with their hearts and despise dark efforts of the unbelievers Praised be the ones that seek their corner of the world where their beings should find peace and comfort Praised be the ones that turn the third cheek to start over when everything crumbles Yes, praised be the ones... For they shall suffer the merciless pain of degradation, mutilation and rejection of the world For their soul is too pure to be excepted among those who fear of the holiness For they are above the common foot printers who waste the time and the effort of their eyes For no one is more human then the ones who believe in themselves So praised be the ones... They shall prevail eventually when all that's left is reason and faith in yourself They shall make mistakes that only they will regret and nobody will mind They shall rule their lives with nothing but love and wisdom of those who went before them They shall rule their lives using the experience that life with them chose to share Praised be the ones... That I look up to in my bed when all the lights shift into the stars That I pray to with blank stares when all my strength is gone in pain That I cheer for with my smiles when I'm hiding from those who think they know me That I stain in blood my knives for to outscream the agony of broken heart Please, praise the ones... Who heal disappointment with hope as they erase the outcast label with tears Who fight tornados with their face forgiving the cuts while leaving the ruins Who kiss the souls of their loves knowing that is their very purpose Who adore what makes them warm and they shall build a home where they find beauty I praise the ones I see myself in and I know I'll end up in decent hands I praise the ones who dream of justice that is written in benefit of all I praise the ones who don't choose to be different but are different cause they just are I praise the ones I will or have learnt from the rest I'll watch blossom... or leave... behind...
