I just had a blast from the past this week.

A high school classmate whom I haven't seen in twenty years contacted me via another site....no I am not feeling old, my friends, I am just happy to hear from someone who I have found that I have some things in common with, and I never knew it when we were in school together.

He is a very nice guy, though in school, he was like me, quiet and out of the way of oncoming popular traffic.  He was one of those guys you see who is lanky and average...the one you KNOW in your heart is going to grow into himself and become HOT!!  This guy definately is, and I knew it a long time ago!  He's also divorced, with two little boys.  His divorce was recent, but I am sure that it will be nice to just chat via email like we have been doing for two days...but man, is this guy gorgeous now, I knew he would be!!!

We talked about the old school, and how he went to the reunion, and it was sad that I wasn't there, that we could have practiced our sarcastic streak on the classmates, because they hadn't changed at all...except in obvious looks and attitudes....one-up manship must have been at an all time high last Saturday night...glad I wasn't there to burst a lot of bubbles, and bring some people down to earth.

I told J about my poetry, and he thought it was great that I am so creative....I didn't share any with him yet, we have only been chatting for two days now, so I thought it would be wise not to yet...

We talked about our favorite Broadway plays and movies...the usual.  I am reluctant to find out why he is divorced because it's none of my business.  I think that is appropriate, don't you?  He barely remembers me from school too, so we are basic strangers.

We both agreed that both of us need to get off our derrieres and go out and meet people...that sitting at home does nothing for us single folks in the world.

He's currently looking to  move back to the old hometown to be closer to his sons-5 and 2, and I saw pictures of these boys, they are so adorable!!  I hope he does, because that's what he's wanted for some time.

I talk about him now, because it's awesome to see that I was right, that time did change this man to who and what he is now.  It also proves my intuition was right all those years ago, and it answers some basic questions about myself as a whole...the ones that need to be answered.

There's also the explanation of my dream the night before he requested my friendship....in the dream, I was with a guy who my brain said I used to know, and we were "together" in a sense...well, not sexually, but in a friendship way, chatting in a place I don't recognize, but in the dream, it was a place where all the kids went after school....anyway, in the dream, I was comparing the younger man in my mind with an older version...

I don't know if J has anything to do with this, but it is odd that I had that dream before his request...maybe I am just over reacting because I am into the full swing of things these days.

I just wanted to share this with all of you, because it is a sweet moment in my life, and I need those these days...especially when that sweet moment is contact with the male of our species...
