I don't know if simple love and empathy is the right action right now, or kicking "The One" in the shins. Although he isn't feeling well today and was mostly morose lounging around feeling icky, it didn't occur to him to feed our lovechild. The lovechild hadn't thought to feed himself either as he was completely absorbed in a video game and then playing with "The One". This resulted in said lovechild throwing up at approximately 3am because of all that lovely stomach acid that builds up when there is nothing at all for it to dissolve. I have since rectified this problem by feeding the child, or rather encouraging him to eat while he distractedly talked my ear off. The lovechild is adorable.

"The One" and I had been apart for a week and a half until yesterday afternoon. I must admit that the being apart made me re-appreciate "The One's" presence. I missed the way he kisses, I missed the little things he does for me, I missed the way he feels when pressed against me as I sleep. I missed rolling over and wrapping my arms around him in the middle of the night. I missed his bad puns and explaining obvious jokes. I missed being able to see in his eyes that he loves me. I missed the talking over our day as we fall asleep. I missed him.

I had a rather interesting time hanging out with "The Other" today. We are still in the "been apart too long" phase where you make eyes at each other and look for any reason at all to touch. It's also a weird stage where you end up touching or taking risks that you wouldn't otherwise do, even when you don't think you feel the need to that strongly. Like all geeks, "The Other" has a plan to take over the world. His involves a particular type of technology that is very likely to take over the world with or without his involvement. We had a great discussion about how he could take over the world with this technology and what he would do with the world once he takes it over. Just to drive things home in a rather interesting way, my father brought up this form of technology too and how it is being researched and developed and how the world will change because of it. I don't know what this really has to do with anything, but I smiled inside thinking of how much the two would have enjoyed conversing on the subject.

Ok, I've been putting this off a rather long time, but I think it's time to mention Cherry. Quite a while back when I was researching how to "have my cake and eat it too" I ran across someone who has experience in the "cake" department and was very willing to answer questions and give advice and discuss things I hadn't imagined would be involved in my "cake" process. Anyway, I had many a great discussions with Cherry, including one where I gave her the nickname Cherry. As conversations developed I began to realize that Cherry was almost what I was looking for in "The Woman" and the electronic chemistry of instant messaging with her was incredible. Cherry is a hot vivacious outgoing woman with talent in music, writing, and clothing making. She leads a healthy earth friendly existence and has a penchant for flirting and seduction. Plus she can eat a garlic raw. . . . ooooooh yeah. There is really no chance of anything other than online communication with Cherry as she's already married and is looking for her female soulmate, but it's nice to know there is at least one woman out there that completely gets it and is sensual to boot.
