S.W.A.K.: Sealed With A Kiss

Hello my dear Readers, while I had an interesting topic in mind for my post this week, I decided to sun you, as well as Sorcha, with a SUPRISE ARTICLE. Now, an interesting point of news is that my Laptop, a sub-par Sony VAIO named Ginbana, was recently dealt an injury in the screen department. Now this left me little time to work on my article this week, but that isn’t the reason for this filler. Upon hearing of my blight, my dearest Sorcha informed me of a spare laptop she had, also plagued with screen damage, but much, much less than mine. Along with a few other choice items she had meant to send me, she decided to send it all to me in one quaint package. Now I expected this package to take some time, but I was lucky enough to receive it this weekend. Now aside from the laptop, with a more than workable screen to be honest (so why am I blaming my laptop loss?), there a few other parcels, but let us start at the beginning. KidRobot, a simple Gateway Laptop with an awesome keyboard, was my second biggest treat. Covered in decorative stickers, something I’ve never been able to bring myself to do with Ginbana. Adorable glitter monkeys and the knowledge that the world was being made better one organic pajama at a time. Now my laptop will be fixed soon, but I have chosen to make it my goal to restore KidRobot to a better condition, because she is an adorable laptop, and who knows, may serve me much better in the future than Ginbana can since Ginbana is suffering from a bad battery.

Also included in my package was a shirt bearing a rare triple entendre and a more than epic set of tea. But despite these two very nice gifts, I think the third best gift was a small soft fox who goes by the name of Volly. Volly will now be my companion until I can get to my Sorcha, and it means very much to me. When I saw her in the box I did a sort of acrobatic maneuver off the handle and into her heart, and she into mine (You get points for knowing where this is from). So then we have number two and three, what was the number one item in my package? Why the letter. Hastily written on a torn out sheet from a spiral bound notebook, and as the title says, sealed with a kiss. Now even Sorcha claims that this letter was hastily written and not her best, but it still meant so much to me. I’ve never gotten many letters, hand delivered or otherwise, and I appreciate them all. So have a letter from Sorcha was part of the reason I was excited when the package arrived (with the laptop coming in a very close second). Letters are forgotten in this world of ‘now’. And now that I have seen hers, my dilemma on what to put into a letter has been solved.

So what was the point of this article? That my girlfriend is awesome and I love it when she writes to me. You thought there was another point? I’m just gloating. So until next week, give your spell check some flowers, and have a great week.

P.S. Expect a letter in return my Honeybee, I’m not sure if my idea will work, but we will see. Your letter made me smile, and I’ve been rereading it all morning. You are the best thing to have ever happened in my life, and I would never give you up. Not for all the tea in china, not for all the books of the world, not for all the stars in the night sky. <3

I Miss You

I don't know that it's been explicitly stated but no, Sabrael and I haven't met IRL (god, I hate that phrase so much. I don't know why but it just seems so grating...) For the first several months of our friendship, all our communication was strictly texual (IM, email, RP, etc). Then after we started dating, we moved onto Skype and phone calls. Essentially whenever he is awake, I have myriad of ways to get a hold of him. He is rarely out of communicable reach. As am I, particularly since I'm lucky enough to have a Blackberry, or 'smart phone' if you will.

You would think that with all this accessibility to someone you have never physically met, it would be impossible to miss them. That's not exactly true. There are connotations to the word miss that you can only feel it for someone close to you who is no longer nearby so maybe it's not exactly the right word to use. However, to be exact, the word miss is defined by Merriam-Webster as 'to discover or feel the absence of.'

I feel the absence of Sabrael every day. Every morning that I wake up and he's not beside me, I miss him. Whenever I'm sitting in class and remember a silly joke he told me, I miss him. When I'm staring at the contents of my refrigerator, wondering how to construct them into a semi-decent meal, I miss him. It's usually at that exact moment that he sends me a texts gets online, or calls me and it always brings a smile to my face. As long as he is around, physically or not, I don't feel so alone in the world. My world just makes so much more sense with him in it.

Until next week, don't abandon your keyboards for too long, and have a great weekend!

P.S. - Doing the playlist post was so much fun, love. We need to do some more late night writing sometime. ^ ^ I had tons of fun just getting the chance to hang out with you so much this week and I can't wait til that becomes a permanent thing. Love you dearest! <3 Good luck on your next article!
