And just like that...
She's gone. Shelly that is.
I met her last year in November when I had just started my old job. We met at the Back Alley, the most kick ass rock bar in all of North America. I was with my buddy Stu and he spotter her and Erica and tried to chat it up with Erica. She had none of it and told him she was with her girlfriend, Shelly. I didn't buy it as there was definately a spark between myself and Shelly.
Turns out there was a spark, and that Shelly and Erica were sort of together too. Anyways, we hit it off so well that after only 3 days of knowing eachother, Shelly came with me when I had to goto Saskatchewan for work for a couple days. We had a blast, got lost, tacked on an extra 8 hours on the trip and came back. There were talks about her moving here back then, but it never happend. I always kept in contact with her up until about 4 months ago when she dropped off the radar. No one really knew what happened or where she was - until about 2 weeks ago when I got an email saying she was in Calgary.
I got so happy again and we hooked up like nothing ever happened and no time had past. We went out again, Stu, Erica, Shelly and Myself to the Back Alley. Stu and Erica actually hooked up and they are now dating, and it looked like Shelly was actually going to move out here. I really couldn't believe it, but at the same time I was estactic. She got a phone call from a couple of her boys in Toronto on Sunday though and booked a flight there, I drove her to the airport (which she missed her flight lol - we had to make a "pit stop" that took a little longer than expected) and then we all went out again Monday night - I drove her again at 4am that night/morning.
Anyways, looks like she is going to be staying on the east coast for an indetermined amount of time and now I am really bummed.
I'd go into why she went back, but putting that kind of information online would be very stupid should the wrong eyes see it. I know the biz and what is required and the time and dedication needed for it, so it's no surprise to me but it really does suck.
I don't even know why I am posting this really, guess I just have to vent a bit. I know I'll see her again, but I just don't know when. I really do have it pretty good out here, but for this girl, man I would pick up and move out there in a heartbeat to be with her - that's how amazing this girl is. Problem is, I don't need to be involved in that stuff anymore.
Gah, someone get me a drink damnit.

Re: And just like that...
I don't know d00d, part of me thinks that it just doesn't sound like it's meant to be. Of course there is another part that wonders if there is any harm in trying to make it work with this gal and see how things shape up after a year or so.
I guess what you have to do is be honest with yourself about whether or not action/no action will haunt you later in life. If she's really that great, is there any harm in seeing what happens over a set period of time?

Re: And just like that...
I know for sure I will not move out there as long as she still does what she does. I got out along time ago free and clear and I would have to be mildly retarded to think that getting back into it would be a good idea.
I can see that this is going to be one of those things in life that will, as duke put it, haunt me with the age old question, what if? I guess the only thing I can do is wait and see.

Re: And just like that...
I'm doing alright. She's like a damn drug, you get a little taste and you are hooked and just keep wanting more and more. She goes away, you go into withdrawl and it sucks, but eventually you get better. Then she shows up again and you get sucked back into that oh so good spiral. Then, gone again. I'll be fine, I always am.
Got a text from her today, everything she had to take care of went smoothly, but she's going to stay out there for a while.
*group hug*

Re: And just like that...
awww *hugs* hopefully she'll stop doing what she is, and maybe settle close to where you are. if not, tbh id say move on, i know it seems harsh and im sorry, but if her coming and going upsets you, is it really possible to let her keep doing that and try and be in a relationship with her? try talk to her about it guess *big hug* i hope something works out right for you tho whatever happens

Re: And just like that...
What a tangled web we weave.
As fate, or whatever you want to call it would have things be, she now has a flight booked for Tuesday to come back out here. Reasons unbeknownst to myself until about 5 minutes ago when my buddy called me, she has a boyfriend who is apparently really, really pissed off. Surprise surprise. They were on a break and he feels she shouldn't of slept with me. Personally, to me, a break means do what ever you want.
Yadda yadda, she'll be back on tuesday, that dude is raging and I'm going to go have a few cold ones now.
So, I'm not going to get overly excited about this for the simple fact that relationships are weird and they could quite possibly get back together. If they don't, hurray for me. If they do, c'est la vie.
