An Email To Ali on April 19, 2004 at 11:16:42 PM

I imagine a major difference between losing your soulmate now versus 10 years ago is this: instead of just finding their things around the house, you find them on-line. Ali had Yahoo!Mail, GMail, Picasa, KodakGallery, Netflix, PhotoBucket, iTunes, eBay, PayPal, CrazySexyLife, MySpace, Facebook, and I'm sure I'll find many more. An interesting note is that none of the above have disenrollment for Alison's reason, and they all contact you via email wanting your business back, even if you write the situation in the "(0) Other:" Box. Press 2 to complain about that.

But it's not all bad. A lot of the sites I go to have too many good things in them to simply close it down. Like in the real world, Ali saved everything in the cyber world too. Ali always had easy passwords... Here's an email I sent her on April 19, 2004 at 11:16:42 PM, I thought it tied into my last post by virtue of dorkiness:


Just seeing your shape in the bed makes me comfortable,

even if I was standing on coke bottles looking from across the room.


When you turn over once a night, I smile and drift into a new level of loving you.


When you help out around the house unexpectedly, I know you love me and I appreciate everything you do just a little more.


When you smile at me, the sun gets brighter.
When I quit being a dork, there is a burning love that you release after realizing that I am being normal.


I like when you want me to settle down.
I like it when I wake up before you, because that means you are sleeping well and are happy.


Your eyes are what makes you pretty.
Your nose is what makes you cute.
Your attitude is what makes you fun.
Your attention is what makes you sexy.


Root beer floats are sensual when you have the glass in your hand. (they're ugly otherwise)


I love taking care of you.
I love that you didn't get upset when I spilled a gallon of dirty motor oil in your trunk.
I love that you think I am a good Marine.


I love you.
