Okay...I've called the Late Night DISers, now I'm calling the SINGLE DISers!

[TigerBear]

I was helped by Mr. Dan Murphy himself! Thanks again, Dan.

H_o_Ps, I would love to hear about your trip. It has been way too long since I have been to the world.

Mr. D., I can't imagine being at a water park if it is 45 degrees.

 

[Mr D]

Alaska man? that must be me I guess, and my name is Daniel, Joseph is my son.

we have been to WDW back in dec of 2001 but didn't do any water parks or ANY other parks than Disney, this trip its everything else (SW,IOA, USF etc) and just an occasional visit to WDW. Definately the tour at the Cape, we both love rockets and adventure.

You sound like the "L" word is right around the corner
Did you buy him something for Christmas?

AUGHGHHHGHGHGH!!!!! Ok Don't even bring that thought up!!!!!! No Way!!!! I know that maybe I am very different from most of the people on this thread who are actively searching for Mr. Right AKA Mr. Elusive....but honestly I just happened upon "friend" when I wasn't looking, nor wanting. I said to myself earlier this year when I got out of my draining and far too long relationship that I was taking time to focus on me and making the things I want in my life happen (mostly concerning my education and career ambitions). I don't have the time or the energy to enter into any serious romance, and I REALLY don't have the desire to even think about the "L" word!!! That is what is driving me crazy!!! I need someone to help me make my heart understand what my head is telling it I should be focusing on!!!!!!! That is why I feel like I am going crazy!!!

And no I have not bought him a gift. Although he jokingly told me that he was going to give me a thesaurus for Christmas. I have a problem spitting out what I want to say when we are discussing serious things, like US!! I babble and make no coherant point. Mostly because I don't know what I feel/want, nor do I know what I want him to feel!!! So he said maybe if he got me a thesaurus then I could find the right words I want to use!

And where's that Wednesday night non-dater? I'm glad you finally hooked up.

I suppose I am the Wednesday night non-dater!!! And I guess that saying we have "hooked up" is a fairly accurate description of what we are! We are not "dating" exactly, but I think that we are fairly exclusive in that we are not seeing other people. In fact I generally refer to it as "seeing" each other! So, ok, I made a definitive stance on what we are. We are "seeing" each other!!

Disney845, it sounds to me like someone is falling? Isn't it just an amazing feeling!!

It is a scary scary feeling. A feeling I had not planned on, nor did I want as a complication in my life right now!!! I mean the thing that makes it so horrible is that I know there is no point in getting too attached, or falling too hard. Neither of us have the time to expend on being in a serious committed relationship, we just don't. It wouldn't be a matter of if we wanted to or anything, it is just a matter of logistics. With work and school there is so little time for personal time. We are lucky to try to see each other once a week (and in fact the most recent time we saw one another was the first time in about three and a half weeks). The only real up side to that is that when we do see one another it is for "extended" periods of time. Our last non-date ( ) lasted from 11:30pm-4pm the next day!! But I honestly don't know when the next time we will get together will be??

Disney, I 100% understand where you are coming from. I look at my friends that are married and those that are getting married and they have more probs than me. And trust me I have my problems. I was just thinking during this past wonderful week that I was blessed on how much easier it would have been if I had someone to share it with. Then I stopped myself and brought myself back to reality. I have have had another person whinning and wanting something from me and I had nothing more to give this week. I have goals and I'm starting to kick myself in the butt about getting going on some of them. That reminds me I need to make a phone call tomorow. I'm not looking for the love of my life, b/c I'm not ready for that right now. I'm just looking for a friend to do something with. All my current friends are married and don't do anything without their spouse. So that makes me a third wheel and I'm tired of being a third wheel.

Yes Yes Yes!!!!!! That is exactly how I feel...or at least how I want to feel. Lately though my mind has been very mushy especially where "friend" is concerned!!

For almost 6 months I was completely free of any romantic entanglements. I had just got out of a 5 year relationship...and was not looking for anyone at all. I loved just hanging out with my girlfriends and having a "fun" time...something I had had very little of recently in my relationship. Then I stumbled upon "friend," I could almost kick myself...things are more complicated now...now I think about him...A LOT...I am happy to talk to him...even happier to see him...VERY HAPPY to see him in fact The best part is that things with him are so far removed from the horribleness (hmmm is that a word?) that was my relationship with my ex (didn't realize it was so bad during the actual relationship...but then we never do, do we??). I have fun with "friend", I am relaxed, and not to get overly personal, I am a heck of a lot more interested!!! Just talking to him on the phone can put the hugest smile on my face, and after we spend time together, I can spend hours just thinking about him and our time together.

I feel as though I really need to be careful...I don't want to get myself hurt...not that I think he would in anyway ever hurt me...but I think I might hurt myself if I let myself get carried away when we don't have the option of become serious since we both have schedules and future plans that exclude devoting the time and energy necessary to have a "relationship".

Edit to add: Good Grief!! I sure can be long winded!! Sorry about the length of these posts guys, and sorry to be dumping all my emotional confusion on you!!

[floridaminnie]

For me to do the water parks it has to be hot! You won't see me anywhere near the water parks right now! My blood sure has thinned out!.

Mr. D, I do hope you have a nice trip down here! It'll probably be warm to you down here!

[legs22]

I'm back! This was my first MVMCP and it was great. I'm glad I went. It was sold out but the crowds weren't bad. Standing on Main St. looking down toward the train station and the huge Christmas tree, the garland and lights strung across the street, the snow falling- it was like a scene from the movie "It's a Wonderful Life". The Christmas show on the stage in front of the castle was great. The audience sang along and it snowed there too. Loved the parade. It smelled like cinnamon and gingerbread when the Chip and Dale float and then the gingerbread house passed by. Then as soon as the end of the parade passed by we started walking right behind it and it was as if we were in the parade. Looking down Main St., seeing the people lining the street and the performers dancing. Got to see Snow White and all 7 dwarves for the first time. The hot choc. and cookies were yummy. I felt that hot choc. go all the way down. It was so cold! Especially going back to the car at 1 a.m. My mom said there was ice on her car! The Mickey's at the front of the park that were decorated by different famous people was interesting to see. The new Pop Century resort was wild. Giant Play-Doh can, Big Wheel, Mickey phone, table soccer, bowling pins, yo-yo's, Rubik's cube, cell phones. The lifeguards at the pool were all covered in winter clothing. No one was in the pools. I had to call maintenance- the stopper in the sink would not go up. I called them, went to the car to get the luggage, back to room and the maintenance man was under the sink fixing it. He scared me because I didn't see him laying there when I first walked back in. And the next morning- coldest of the year- the shower water was maybe lukewarm. But the sink water was hot. They just opened so they have to iron out all the kinks. And the resort was so easy to find- right off Osceola parkway. Just followed the signs.

Mr. D:
FYI- Typhoon Lagoon is closed for renovation.

Tiger Bear:
Great photo of the new Doctor. Congrats!

HOt to me is in the 90's. This is my 2nd time on the Magic and 4th cruise on DCL total. Actually think I finished with my shopping today for cruise and x-mas. Now the packing can begin! Nah, I'll be fine going by myself and DD. Looking forward to the quiet time!

Thank you! Dan Murphy came to the rescue so I am assuming my pic is OK.

I have three dogs: Harley (a husky), Tiger Bear (a catahoula mix) & Mr. Tramp (he is in the pic with me!). The man I am dating also has a puppy (the .5). He has called me "Mommy" since the day he got her...I just will be such a unhappy camper if things don't work out between us. I love Boochi like she is mine, but in a probably useless attempt to protect myself I only claim half of her. I know that probably makes no sense.

 

[TigerBear]

Wow you sound stressed Disney845. Why don't you just give yourself permission to enjoy the relationship for what it is? What happens will happen.

 

[Disney845]

TigerBear-

Haha!! You sound exactly like "friend." That pretty much sums up his mentality about the issue. In fact I think the words "what happens will happen" may actually have come out of his mouth!! I am honestly trying. I suppose I am just wayyyyyy to analytical about the whole thing!!

BTW I love the pic of you and your pup!

 

[TigerBear]

Here's a pic of my .5 - is she not a doll?

[TigerBear]

(((HUGS))) Disney845. I know not worrying is easier said than done. Good luck as you sort through your feelings about the relationship. He sounds like a great friend!

 

[Pin Wizard]

[floridaminnie]

I'm glad that you made it safe and sound to VA Sandy. Oh no, we're going to have to rename this the in love thread!
