1 Step Forward, 2 Steps Back

Love in the time of Internet. Uh-huh. That's what this is all about. Boy meets Girl online. They click. Boy flies halfway around the globe to find Girl. They hook up. Eventually. That's when real life happens. They make plans. Still. Boy's got his plans, and Girl has hers. This sounds okay, except for the part where girl runs across Boy's ex's blog. From the time that THEY were still together. Big mistake. You want to hear, er, read an even bigger one? Girl actually reads every single entry.

Now, instead of trying to draft the applications essay, I'm caught in this tsunami of insecurity. Did they do the same things that we did? Did they have life talks, too?  What movies did they watch together? Were these movies better and their scripts more profound than the ones we've seen? Aaarrgh! This is so not Aloha Hello!

Focus! I'm watching My Life in Ruins. Oh, wow, I'm living dangerously and vicariously.

Poupi Kakas: What was his name?
Georgia: Who?


Poupi: When it's over, some women cut their hair. Some women run away to Greece. So...

Georgia: I did not move to Greece because of some man. 


That's right, Poupi Kakas. Women don't move to Greece because of some man. Some women want to move to Hawai'i.

Is anyone out there? Do you relate?
