The Big Aiyah

I'm fascinated at the range of emotions experienced through an IM conversation are just as vivid as if the person was right in front of you.

I'm sitting at my desk when my IM flashes that I've got a message. "Who could this be?" I thought. As I dragged the cursor over to the bottom of my screen to click open the window, a big smile began to take form as I realized who it was from.

"AT LAST!" I exclaimed in my mind. "He" finally contacted me first. I wondered what he could be writing to me for?

It took me awhile to figure out what was going on in the conversation. We were talking about wanting to get some sun and surf! Then, it hit me like a brick that by the end of the IMConversation he was suggesting I go too! I felt so giggly and warm and fuzzy inside. That would be a great idea! Now to just figure out when.

I IMd Him back today about not being able to travel the weekend he preferred. So, with not really thinking of it too intensely asked him out on Friday. Gosh, I became so nervous after I hit that "send" button that my palms even started to sweat. I'm not sure if we'll actually go out tomorrow. It'll be nice to actually just hang out with "HIM" and get to know each other without any expectations. I just hope I can actually talk to him without typing on my keyboard and interfacing with a chat window!
