Here We Go

[nitka]

Ooh, don't feel grumpy about it haha like you said it's realistic, unfortunately, for everyone xD

edit: Tell me if that post doesn't show up for you or something. It does for me, but last night the site showed it was shut down as I posted, so I just wanted to be sure.

[Optimist]

No, I saw the post and I am writing a response right now.

[nitka]

sorry, I missed that he'd said his name before. my bad :/

[Optimist]

No worries.

[Optimist]

I edited my post, because I realized I used the word beautiful about three times within three sentences.... This is why I write for fun, instead of for a living. Got to buy a thesaurus.....

[nitka]

ha! Yeah, sometimes I think "I don't need to edit or reread, it's fine..." but if I don't, that kinda stuff always happens. Never fails.

It's strange writing "I" a lot. It feels repetitive sometimes, but I'm sure it's just cause I"m not used to it. I like it though...it makes this feel...more emotional. Personal.

[Optimist]

Yes, I am enjoying it also. I have written a lot of stories with a lot of people, but never in the first person past tense before. It is a lot of fun. Thank you.

[nitka]

well thank you! haha

[Optimist]

I will just have to leave you wondering what he will think, because I am off to bed. Beautifully written, by the way. (There is that word again)

[nitka]

Oh....fine, I'll impatiently wait ;) And thanks! I'm way too obsessive, I googled what this place looks like for a while. I'll have to show you this cool video of "hiking in newfoundland" I found after we post about it. But not before, no spoiling! Unless you're as crazing about researching as I am...

[Optimist]

No spoilers.. I will watch the video afterwards. :)

[Optimist]

I am going on vacation for ten days starting tomorrow. I may still be around some, but I am not at all sure. It depends upon finding Wifi and time

[nitka]

okay, thanks for letting me know! Have a good vacation :)

[Optimist]

I may not be going. Our car is in the shop and the estimate is $1000 dollars. That was our gas and hotel money. Oh well... I will keep you informed.

[nitka]

oh no :( that sucks SO bad. sigh

[Optimist]

Thanks. We got it back, but now it does on want to turn on and when it does the display is going crazy. Oh Well! My name is Optimist, so I see it as more time to clean my house, post and watch television.

[nitka]

well boo. well yea, everything happens for a reason...but I know that sucks. i'm sorry

before our honeymoon- i'm talking the week of- both our cars broke down and couldn't be used to go on the trip. thankfully his parents let us borrow their van- then it went into the shop the day before.

THANKFULLY it got back the same day, but the trip did get cut short cause of it all. Then we moved into the apartment and it had fleas...but thats another story....

They say we'll be able to look back and laugh. I'm still not there lol

[Optimist]

Wow, that would suck. We got our car back, but it had to go in again on the next day. Our family lent us enough money for gas, so we are currently IN Pennsylvania! I really did not think it would happen, but for our kids sake, I am glad it did. They were way to looking forwards to this.

Everything does happen for a reason, but sometimes it takes twenty years to figure out the reason.

[nitka]

wow, fantastic! oh, i knew something would work out. Have a good trip!
