A Farewell to the Holidays, Part 1

And so the holidays come to a close, and we here at Love 2.0 want to welcome everyone back to a New Year. So for the last four weeks, give or take, both Sorcha and I were on Holiday (You'll read her adventures later). My oddball adventures began simply, staying with my mother a week before Christmas. I had already known before hand that I would be in charge of Christmas Dinner since my mother had recently begun a late-night working schedule. I was happy to oblige of course since as few know, I am an aspiring chef. So Christmas Dinner was a smash success: Roast Beef, Honey Ham, Loaded Mashed, Sage and Herb Stuffing and White Rice. I was applauded by my family as everyone enjoyed the food, and my mother and I enjoyed the leftovers - for days. So help me if I see more holiday ham before next Christmas I may hurt someone. I got some good gifts: a new Cook Book, Paid Hosting, A Donation for CO.CC and a fully repaired secondary laptop!

New Years Eve was uneventful, spent it alone watching TV. New Years Day was more exciting, I spent it with my former room mates and we had a blast in the Venetian Canals, browsing the shops that caught out interests. I did get to lay eyes upon a beautiful treasure: the First Copy of the First Edition of Carroll's "Through the Looking Glass". A Mere $7300 and it would be mine to own! I also found a First Edition of Card's "Ender's Game". One of my room mates mentioned seeing a display of Ptolemy's Atlas which I felt ashamed in not noticing. We also visited a Montblanc store, which in case no one knows, is a store for Moogles (Argh, bad joke). No, in reality it is a high end finery shop for the business folk. My interests lay in their assortment of writing implements and their smooth flowing ink pens. Let is be known that I would gladly pay the $800 it takes for one of those lovely items. It shall pen every first draft for the rest of my life. After all that we ate at a nice Hawaiian place then stayed up playing Munchkin and Goldeneye. Aside from that, my final week before our triumphant return has been uneventful. I did manage to get my new laptop in order among other things, and both Sorcha and I started work on keeping our resolutions.

Now as mentioned, we are changing up our format here, instead of one special article a month, we are alternating between weeks in which we update Mondays and Fridays, and weeks in which we update Wednesdays. So look forward to that. I would also like to thank those of you who have been leaving us those wonderful comments, and I welcome everyone to leave us more inspiring comments, questions, and suggestions. I will also ask that if you have any friends or family who would enjoy reading our romantic adventures, please pass on our address, which you may have noticed has changed to the much simpler http://digitalromance.co.cc. So until next time, get your laptop a shiny new processor, and have a great week.

P.S. To my beloved Sorcha; throughout the entire stint, I was cut off from you due to Holidays of your own, dealing with family, friends, and festivities. Now the whole time I missed you dearly of course, but as the days went on I began to miss you more and more. And every form of communication we had dwindled, circumstances just stacked against us. It was annoying. Now we had come into this relationship with a unique mindset that we wanted to be both a couple, as well as keep our individuality. But I had gotten used to having you there, sitting in the corner of my screen, or in my pocket, and without you so readily in contact I felt a little lost. I knew I was supposed to be willing to be myself, but I didn't want to. I was my best when you were there, even if I wasn't talking to you, just knowing there was another heart beating near mine helped all the more. These holidays made me realise why I fell in love with you, and just how much you meant to me. This was the first strain on our relationship, and I know it won't be the last. But I have faith no matter the problems that may arise, we'll fight them together. I love you so very much, and I'm glad we are back. <3
