I don't even know where to begin with this. I almost feel silly. No, not silly. Drugged. And sleepy. A kind of, "slugged," if you will.

The fact that the two of us have ended up so perfectly scripted together -- still has yet to fully sink in with me. I look at her at a distance, here on motime, reading her, and I'm constantly falling in love with her to the extent that I'm in awe of her. It's the sort of star-crossed fandom that can't be sustained, that can't be real. Or so you'd think.

My obsession with Angel, this wonderful persona that fills motime with her presence as Ladyinthemoon, this goddess of a woman who flirts and teases us male bloggers mercilessly and makes us squirm and wish we all were manlier men....

a trip (by Emma)

Emma has just returned from a trip across the pond that was absolutely marvelous from start to finish. Her destination was Dublin, but she took a side trip over to Leeds to meet up with Frewin, who had kindly offered to show her around Bronte country, in Yorkshire. As it turns out, Frewin--a handsome bear of a man who has retained ancestral Irishness in his reddish hair and facial features--knows all about stonework, and so everywhere they walked, he knew something about the soft stone used to built the Salts Mill (now gentrified into a David Hockney museum), the cobbles buried around the house he's renovating (he being a very handy sort of person), and the stone walls that have partitioned the moors for centuries. Frewin has built walls himself, and knows how to lay stone, and it is quite amazing that very sturdy walls can be built without mortar, just through the skill of tiny adjustments.

There is a philosophical posit (whose name I know not) that the entire world is a figment of our unique imagination and dipping into the world of the internet can foster this sort of conceit. You never really know that someone is who they say they are. You seem to gravitate towards like-minded people especially with all the new social networking elements of sites which seem to reflect back at you something of what you put out but still, you can never be sure. Unless!

Unless you meet someone in person in the Real World. I cant tell you how excited I was at the prospect of Emma's visit, the idea that something originating in this strange world could become manifest in reality. And I was not disappointed and not surprised. We talked about everything and anything for two days, building on the foundations laid online. I asked all the questions about Buddhism that my typing speed and time constraints deny me in this virtual world.
