Thoughts…

I know it isn't a huge deal, but sorry for the inconvenience of moving the website… I had to cast off some… uh… technical debt, and switching services seemed like the easiest way to go about it. This new service also gives me more room to potentially try some new things with the website. I dunno, we'll see. I suppose in part it depends on how busy work is, how long this winter is, how bored I get during times when there's no chance of seeing you, etc. Or… I might just keep using it to tell you that I love you over and over and over again until the next time I see you, when I'll desperately want to whisper it into your ear, or even shout it from the rooftops… but I'll know that I can't…

I've got to be faster on the draw when that great dog of yours ever starts slobbering all over you while I'm around… how fun would that be, us confessing our love for each other in our cute dog voices? I'm not even sure whether you intended it, but somehow the words “I love you” coming out of your mouth while you were looking at me, whatever the context, or the silly voice you were doing at the time…

It sure would be nice to be able to give you the same feeling I got from that, both times you've done it. I just want to make you feel all warm inside, so much so that you can just shrug off this winter cold… That's how you make me feel, every time we ever talk, and I desperately want to return the favor…

Anyways… I'll be taking the old website down soon. I have no idea why I decided to do it this way, instead of just doing it all at once which would have been way easier, but… I've started deleting it a year at a time, starting from the beginning. I mostly mention that because I suspect you'd appreciate the image that came to mind when I deleted 2021… I feel like The Nothing in Neverending Story, and the old website is Fantastica. lol. Poor Artax…

You're in love with a major dork… you know that… right?

Speaking of… one of these days, we're going to have to sit down and talk about our relative dorkdoms. I'm dying to know what else you enjoy. Pretty sure I saw you comment on Facebook about anime once… was that just an offhand comment, or is that a thing you're into, too? And what was the “sci-fi, but not my kind of sci-fi” while we were playing Cards Against Humanity? I confess, curiosity got the better of me and when we got home from that trip, I maybe might have flipped through the discard pile to see if I could work it out. Best guess? Star Trek. Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra. But I really have no clue.

Oh, my love. I just can't wait to get to just sit and talk to you about… whatever. Anything. Everything. Unbounded, unfettered by the “rules” or the expectations of those around us. Even if all we do is nerd out, all thoughts of the various things we want to do to each other put aside for a time. How wonderful would that be?

Honestly… I dream of it, all the time. Talking to you is by far my favorite pastime these days. I can't imagine ever getting tired of hearing your voice, or of finding out what you're thinking of. You fascinate me. I'm enthralled, in the best possible way.

⭐️, you are, by far, the most interesting person that I have met in my entire life. I am endlessly curious about you.

It's no great wonder that I fell in love with you, my hill by the lake. It was bound to happen, from the moment we met.

Love,
