Day 3: You're serious right?

So today's press conference went amazingly well...didn't have to speak live, but I did answer a few questions for a segment of the Making it Happen show...I'll have to learn how to post a video from Meggo so that you can all see me awkwardly stare at the camera

On a random note: Apparently when you decide to put yourself out there but you don't know what you're looking for...well sometimes things come from nowhere

So Mark...whom I haven't seen since the APA conference in NOLA...tonight he texts me and says "he still cares very much about me and can't wait to see me when he comes home"

Back story: Mark and I have known each other for about 9 or 10 years...we worked at Bob Evans together, he always tried to talk to me but I was wrapped up in the whole Richie deal...we kissed once in the cooler and well it was pretty hot...he went away to school, I quit working there and I hadn't seen him in years until facebook (Thanks Mark Zuckerberg)...we chatted a bit, exchanged numbers, around 2008 we talked about trying the whole dating thing...that Christmas break he told me he didn't think it would work because of distance (and because he had met a local girl) they dated and married, we kept talking as friends...I met up with him in NOLA and we reminisced, he told me things weren't working with his wife, I told him he should work on it...4 months later...He divorced his wife...or that's what facebook told me anyway...he lives in Alabama and just passed the bar...he texted me about a month back saying that my existence was a way to remind him that there were extraordinary things in the world and that someone could really be blessed by the existence of a person...I finally texted him back tonight to thank him...then the "cares about me" text happened

Now that you're caught up...I can't help but wonder about this idea...but I wonder about the distance and if we're different or if I'm jumping ahead of myself...and what if he wanted me to move to Alabama? First off, eww humidity...but would I?

I'm doing really well for myself here, but does that really matter? Especially if I'm successful but alone? Today Gene (my fav exec) took me to lunch for a press conference well done and we talked about balance...and he said "how can you be happy if you're successful but you're getting a divorce or have no social time?" or something to that effect...and I can't help but wonder if our talk wasn't well timed in some divine way...

I'll keep ya posted friends!
