Hey its been a while since you last posted How'd your AP exam go? A cat dissection? That seems kinda random (normally its frogs being dissected not cute and cuddly pets lol), I think I dissected a cow heart a few years back in science class, that was after one of my friends licked it xD so nasty. If you wanna see and do human dissections all the time, be a coroner ;D. I don't know why but I look forward to reading your updates, please post more! ^^ Thank you for reading! It has been a while so here's what's been going on with me. I took my AP exam. I didn't do as well as I hoped to, but I won't know the results for like another couple of weeks. In my video class I finally came up with an idea-- it's a mockumentary. I also have become close to the people I've met since I moved here and we made a funny music video together. I've been chatting with my future roommate but she wants me to call her on the phone. And for shy little me phones are my worst nightmare. I never handle phone calls well at all. So I just told her that I'd try to call when I got the chance (which means NEVER). She's so nice though, I think we'll get along great. I graduate on June 10th. I'm so very excited to be on my own soon. I think I'm going to cry at my graduation. I hope not. As far as college goes, I'm really confused about what I should do. I went in saying I'd focus on Education and be an Education major, but now I'm thinking that maybe I won't enjoy education and I should be an English major since I like to write, but of course just because I like to write doesn't mean I'm great at it. So I guess I'm a little scared about not being able to handle being an English major. I also really love journalism, I do. But... I think about how being a journalist means you have to talk to people A LOT. And being a shy communications major? Total oxymoron. So I'm just trying to figure out what I want and am able to do. I think I'm going to have a great summer this year-- I'll be hanging out with some of my old friends with no adult constraints! That's going to be crazy, but of course I won't go too wild. I'll try to post again soon -adriana

Don't really know what to write. Just wanted to do a quick post. Graduation was great. I cried of course. I actually had a good time on the boat ride afterwards. It was really pretty. I screamed swear words into the night sky. It was a good time.

dating over the internet aaaaaah no way >_< I've tried it twice in the past, both times ended HORRIBLY but maybe it was just bad luck or what have you lol. Both the people I did it with were fairly messed up to begin with (in other words, they were f***ing crazy lol) so that probably didn't help, but if I had to choose between internet dating and IRL dating, I would choose IRL in a heartbeat, simply because of the interaction factor . Anywho those are my thoughts. If you want details on the 2 times I internet dated hit me up on my msn lol

Thanks geekguy. But were your experiences really that bad? lol. Well, I was just wondering because I'm trying to find a way to come out about mine. I mean, my family found out a while ago that I was being...er involved with someone online. We came across each other in a weird way so I wasn't looking for a relationship online. So it's been a while, but I still find it very difficult telling friends and others about the relationship and I'm planning to meet him when I return to the U.S in July. The thing is I haven't told my family about this little plan. I really don't want to surprise anyone and put people on the spot, but I can't find a way to tell my parents about the whole thing. Any advice about how I can do it? Or should I just "man up" and tell everyone? And why do I feel embarrassed by the whole thing? Is that a sign that it won't work because I'm not comfortable with it? This is my first online relationship experience, by the way, so I really don't know what's normal and what to do.

I was in an online relationship for five months. We met on another shy forum. She’s 2 years younger than me. We also came across each other in a weird way. Neither of us were looking for a relationship online. We spent hours talking to each other online. Sometimes staying up all night. We have a lot in common and we both felt we would be a great match. She talked about meeting and I was willing to fly 2000 miles to meet her.
I told my married female friend about my online girlfriend and she was very negative. But I didn’t care what my friend said. I was 40 and this was my first relationship ever and I was happy. My online girlfriend told her friends about her relationship with me and her friends told her to stop talking to me. She told them that she wouldn’t stop talking to me and our relationship continued.
Then she went on vacation for a week. I don’t know what happened but she stopped talking to me. I sent her some messages after she was supposed to be back but she didn’t respond. Then a week and a half later, she sends me a massage telling me that she’s ok. That was the last I heard from her.
I really thought that we would meet and this could turn into a real life relationship. I know 2 people personally who met someone online who lived over 1000 miles away who traveled to meet each other and are now happily married.

Tylo- I'm sorry about how your relationship with her ended.
Also I told my mom about our plan to meet and she is fine with it. I'm so glad she is because it makes things so much easier. So I will be seeing him in six days. I'm so nervous but so excited and a little scared. I hope it works out. Wish me luck guys. I think i'll need it. XD Hopefully I won't be too shy to have a normal conversation with him. I hope it isn't too awkward. I really feel like we're a real couple now. It's amazing.

This is my first online relationship experience, by the way, so I really don't know what's normal and what to do. Don't worry about what is and is not normal. Just go into it safe and without too many expectations. The majority of my dating has been initiated through the internet. It's just easier to meet people that way sometimes. These days its quite common even beyond the 'shy world'. lol My boss is dating women from the internet and he's a friggen dentist!...not to mention he's young and easy on the eyes. So yeah, all types.

Again...try not to go into it with too much expectation. That doesn't mean that things won't work out between the two of you but I wouldn't go into it feeling like you're a couple just yet. It's very easy to get ahead of yourself when things go so well through messages. I've done it. ahem more than once. and things don't always turn out how you'd like. If you look at it as just a simple meeting...an experiment if you will, then it takes a whole lot of the pressure off. Just be you. That's all you can do. If someone doesn't like it then oh friggen well. There's always someone else who will. You just get up and try again. ...and not to mention he may not be what you're looking for. Dating is a damn good way of really finding out what you do and do not like. But yeah, I hope everything goes well and you have fun! Please, tell us how it goes!

My experiences were pretty average yes, but I hope you have much more success than I did It was a good idea to tell your mum about you meeting up with this guy. On the day let her know where you're going and any details about how long you'll be out or whatever just to be safe. You never know, people on the internet can be creepers even if they seem nice online :S . I honestly hope you have a good time with it though. Good luck

Thank you guys. All of you. And Crash I know exactly what you mean. I've been really playing it up in my mind and I don't want to have my expectations crushed. It will be very different from the whole online aspect but I hope it still goes great. We'll sort of have to get to know each other all over again. I leave on Saturday and we meet on Sunday. Thanks again guys. I'll tell you all about it when I get the chance.

In case anyone was wondering... I'm not dead. I met Tim and he isn't some psycho at all. He's just perfect and sweet and as nice as I imagined he'd be. We had so much fun even though it was only 3 days. We had a lot of fun together and I can't wait to do it again. Surprisingly it wasn't as awkward as I thought it would be it was like we'd been together the whole two years we'd been talking. It felt right. Of course I was a little shy and quiet at first but I still was able to talk to him and have a good time. I met him mom and he met my mom and sister and we all went out and had dinner together. I have pictures that I might post, but I don't know yet. Oh here:
