So lately, my posts haven't been quite as reflective as they started out being. And I don't post as much. It's not because I don't have anything to say, it's just my mind has been on something else that I haven't yet mentioned.
I was wondering when or even if I should bring this topic up on my blog. It's of a personal nature but I think people would be interested. And this is part of my Alaskan adventures, so I should really mention this....
So I am going to for a couple of reasons: 1) it will help me not hold back on my writing 2) I know some ladies at home who would love to hear about this and 3) someone was a bit miffed that he hasn't been mentioned yet.
I have a new friend. He's a man that I've met up here but he doesn't live in my village. So it really pisses me off when the Internet is not working.
So here's where I don't know what to say. I don't want to say much in case we just remain friends. And I don't want to say anything in case he turns out to be a jerk and breaks my heart. But I also want to gush about him because he brightens up my day and makes me smile at the same time. So in light of all this, I'm just going to admit to his existence.
But I will say the funny part is I become completely female at everything he does. He made a comment that he read my blog and I hadn't mentioned him in it. What does that mean??? Oh yes friends, my mind has been a pondering a great many things. None of which I'll torture you with. However, whether or not I talk about it on my blog, I reserve the right to analyze every action, every word, and every tone because I'm a woman and that's what we do! But that's what I need my girlfriends for to help me with this crazy stuff.....such a shame I moved thousands of miles away from them....but I have new girlfriends....maybe I can drive them crazy with my: he didn't email me before 7 p.m.......is it because he was busy or was he trying to tell me something??? Or read this email and tell me the type of tone he's trying to get across (Friend - don't worry, I haven't actually done that! Okay, maybe I read one aloud.....but that was just the one time.)
So life has gotten even a bit more interesting. It's been a very long time since I was involved in the drama of it all. It's kind of fun. And nerve racking at the same time....
So there you are! He's been mentioned and no longer hanging over my head wondering if I should or shouldn't. Whew! Just when you think your life is starting to settle down, life really starts to take off! At least up here it does...

I think honestly I would love to be tortured with it, gawd knows I have tortured you with my own male crappiness, so turn around is fair play. I hate how confusing it all is, and I wish only clarity for you, and I hope he doesn't break your heart. You deserve to be happy Lara.
