I wrote this in my blog a few days ago.
I has a love interest:
this is he:
Hes a tattoo artist, and just became a crane operator. Thats both good and bad - It means that he will be back and forth from out west, which means we would only get to see each other for a week every three weeks. But, it also means hes looking at salary starting at around 100K a year! And then the tattooing too.
We've actually been friends for like about six or eight years, met on irc loooong ago. Yes, we have met

and in person too!
Soooo along with that, we were talking the last couple days and it looks like I am going to become a peircer :

: Its something Ive been passionate about for a while, and hell, my own turned out ok, so I have some idea of what I am doing. Now to find a shop I can apprentice at, and then see where it goes.

Well, after several nights of eight hour talks... Its official. The Mandie now has a boyfriend. And is just tickled pink. And hes cute, responsible, sweet, and hard working. No more abusive pattern for me! Im breaking out and taking the nice guy!
I don't know why I had to post this but I am just happy right now. Taking it slow, but we have been friends for sooooooo long the opportunity just never came up. So we have a good solid base.
Mandie is one happy little monkey today.
And now i must sleep, because we talked until five am and im beat.
