Well, i suppose it all started on March 28, 2001; the night i first talked to my Nathan. I was bored to death, and i was talking to my friend, Char on AIM. i asked her to send me some of her boyfriend, John's friends so i could talk to them. I remember telling her "Make sure you tell them that i'm your friend and you gave me their name, or else they'll think that i am an idiot!" I remember thinking "Now i better not make a fool out of myself or else he (Nathan aka Croil67) will think i am nuts!" I talked to him every night and loved it. He was always there for me, through all of my hard times with other guys, friends, school.. Everything. I loved talking to him. Then he went away and i didnt know where he was.. later i found out he went on a cruise on the Caribean for 10 days. I anxiously awaited his return. I missed him soo much, but during htat week (thank god) i was pre-occupied with my church's Bible School program. I was in the opening skit, a teacher's helper and snack helper (my mom was in charge of the snacks). So, needless to say, i was very busy..still, though, i missed my "Croyle". (thats what i used to call him before i took our "relationship" more seriously and called him "Nathan") Finally, after what seemed years, i saw "Croil67" flash as "online" on my AIM list. Then later on that summer, at the beginning of July, my family went to Gettysburg. we were there for 3 days. The last night we were there i looked at the cut out newspaper picture of Nathan and his friends in Superman Shirts, and got tears. This was i think the first actual time i realized that i had it bad for him. Well, i arranged it to have a party at my house on august 4. (i was amazed that my parents acutally let me invite somebody i'd never met in person yet!) the night before the party, Nathan, me, and sheena went into a chat room and made people think that we were literally nuts.. having affairs with each other (which we were "related" somehow)... that night was so much fun. But i think the next night was funner. I was soooo nervous. i couldnt believe that after almost 5 months, i was going to finally meet him. I was only 14 .. what if he thought i was some retarded little freak? i went crazy that whole day. Then the time came.. i saw him for the very first time and i KNEW then no doubt that i liked him. That night turned out to be a blast and we both knew we had "something". the next weekend, the Relay for Life was held at Keystone high school. i knew he'd be there because, DUH i talk to him every night!! I was going with my cousins and we were going to be on a team. well, it turned out that i spent the whole night with Nathan's family and had a blast. a couple weeks later, Sheena and I conjured up a plan for a "double date" and we all went to clarion and once again had a blast.. well that night ended horribly and i thought i'd never see my nathan again but thank god, i was wrong. Nathan and i have had almost 2years together... and a great 2 years they have been!! I would NOT change this for anything ever. Thank you, Nathan for changing my life and making everything above possible. <3 forever, XOXOXO!!! |
