    This could be it.  His name is Matt Kaufman and he’s a graphic designer for a surf company in Huntington Beach and loves my favorite bands.  We’ve talked every night this week for HOURS.  He’s taking me to see Great Neck Weekly, which is a mix of Spider Fire and Modern Joes on Friday night.  Keep your fingers crossed.  This could be L-O-V-E. :)

    Fingers crossed!  Call me when you get home.  Doesn’t matter how late. I’ll be up writing code.  And, no, Shelley, “writing code” isn’t code for something.  It’s just writing code.

    Ha, Finlay!  I was thinking it might be code for something.
     
    Have fun, sweetie and call me when you’re home.

    Omigod!  This man is P-E-R-F-E-C-T.  I had the BEST time tonight.  He is so charming, funny, smart, playful, interesting – okay I could go on and on.  I haven’t felt this way in a really long time and it makes me realize how incredibly lonely I’ve been.  Speaking of not being lonely, where are you, dearie?

    Sorry.  I was out of town all weekend on an unexpected trip.  Met this guy – Freddie – and he whisked me to Vegas on his private jet.  We got comped at a swanky hotel.  It was spectacular – and I’m not just talking about in the boudoir.  From now on, he will be known as Jet Setter.
     
    As for you – WOW!  Sounds wonderful and you totally deserve to meet someone that makes you feel good.  So, gimme details.

    Are you a passionate lady? With a spark in her personality? Do you have nice legs? I'm eager to meet you.  I'm searching for a compassionate lady to fill the emptiness in my life and to enjoy a long-term relationship.
     
    I live in Reseda.  I'm in my 40's, 6ft tall, 175 pounds, chestnut brown eyes, dark brown hair. I'm frequently told that I am a nice looking man. You will have to be your own judge of that when we meet.  ;)
     
    Interested or should I move on?

    OMG!  The man of my dreams is alive and well and apparently living in Reseda.  Call the caterer, hem the taffeta, alert the media.  The wedding is ON!

    Ha-Larious!  Move on brother, move on!
     
    p.s.  If you think this fine specimen of a body is touching taffeta, you got another thing coming, sister!

    Details, huh?  Sounds like me writing to you instead of you writing to me.  Normally I say that I have to live vicariously through you.  But, for once in a long time, I really feel alive.  So, here goes.
     
    We met at the Wiltern about 7:30.  He looked pretty much like his photo – absolutely adorable – but he seemed a bit taller than I had imagined.  I think it’s just the way he carries himself.  True to photo, he was cute, but not overly gorgeous.  His smile is a little crooked, but he has the most unbelievable, white teeth I’ve ever seen.  I was so tempted to ask if they were real, but decided that I didn’t want to spoil the illusion if they weren’t.  Anyway, his hair is a lighter
