With the last couple of years I've been pretty much going through the motions of day to day life smiling and laughing away as much as I could.  And everyone bought it.  At least I think they did. 

It's been a roller coaster.  That's for sure.  But just like a roller coaster there were twists and turns of different varieties.  Sometimes life was fun, other times scary.  And a time or two where I just didn't want to be there.  All the while there was one 'constant'.  No man was ever going to have hold of my heart again. 

Chatting away on MSN to various people helped A LOT.  Sure, they'd try to bring me around a bit but I'd change the subject.  Made it my mission to try and help fix them because I didn't need fixing...my mind was already made up. 

I was often busy trying to hook up this person with that one, while thinking to myself..."Fools!  Do they not know it'll only end up in ruin?!  Ah well...if that's what they want, I'll do what I can to help."  If there wasn't a match to try and sort or reassurance to be dished out, I'd go on a rant about silly random stuff.  Anything at all to change the subject.

OMG - it's worse yer improving ffs!

Shut up you.  Isn't there some sort of forum insider trading law or summat?

So in among all of these people there was this one guy.  A lovely Lad.  We've known each other for a few years now, but we'd never really gone down the road of any sort of truly personal chats.  He's a bit shy and I don't do personal so much.  "Says she as she spills the lot on a diary."  Yes this diary gets a bit too 'personal' for some readers.  But to be fair, it only holds a tiny fraction of what spins around in my head.

Sorry, didn't mean to hijack your thread.  As you were.

He's a bit quiet - yeah...I know.  We won't go there.

I will...he can't get a word in edgewise. 

Glad he was able to give your heart...erm... a lift.

Fast forward to Newcastle APAT.  Normally I wouldn't even entertain that event because it's such a pain in the backside to get there.  But it was Easter week-end and the Irish take their religious holidays serious.  They were short a player or two and needed me to fill a spot on the team.  Normally they'd have a fierce strong player base to chose from so this was probably going to be my only shot at a spot on the team.  And I'm not very religious so that wasn't an issue.  Sigh.  Go on then.  I'm in.

Well, ye got the bones of a trip report - but I left some detail out.  The most important part if truth be told.  Mainly because I was in shock.  This couldn't be happening.  Out of nowhere and when I least expected it, this quiet gentle man managed to sneak his way past the wall I'd built and got around all the broken bits while he was at it.  It took me nearly a week to accept the fact that the ice queen had melted and Jack (technolog) was responsible for it.

Still can't figure out how he managed it.  Keep running events back in my head and there was nothing to suggest he and I would ever be a couple.  We're like night and day.  He's sensible and I'm a nutter.  He's a bit quiet and I'm not. 

Well, that's not entirely true.  You lot generally see the 'class clown' version of Laxie.  But as he's discovered, there is a quiet side to me too...just took some digging to find it and he did.  How good does he run?!  lol    Truth be told...I don't care now how he managed it.  Just delighted he did.  Couldn't be happier and feel so very lucky right now it's unreal.

Call it fate or call the doctor for the poor man...either way - we're hooked.  xx

It's ok now.  Cat's out of the bag.  Hijack away.
