My name: Kathryn (but most call me Kat)
His/Her name: Garry
I live: Ohio (basically in the middle of nowhere)
My age: 17 (I'll be 18 in about a week)
He/She lives: California
His/Her age: 21 (as of the 16th)
Distance: Oh goodness...about 2,300 miles?
Together since: October 13, 2007 (though we pretty much were crushing on one another for a few years before that but even we didn't acknowledge it)
We met: on this roleplaying website...thingy called Furcadia. He knew me as Gweneveire and I knew him as Helix. Honestly I don't know what caused my timid self to sit down next to this Helix and say hello to him. It may not have been in character...but look where it got us now. We talked for a little while as our characters fell in love. Unfortunately his mother, being the workaholic she is, kept my Garry nice and busy. That and computer problems prevented him from talking to me much...so one day Helix joined the army (to pay for their wedding) and was reported MIA. In real life we didn't talk much...to be honest the only thing that kept us together was the thing that kept us apart for a year and a half. He has this friend, see, named Gregg. Gregg and I took a liking to one another and walla...we were together. Neither Gregg or I knew it but our relationship REALLY ticked off Garry...and for good reason. So I was together with Gregg for a year and a half (long distance as well, they both live in California and have been friends for almost 15 years) until I realized that it wasn't going to work with us. He was always oh so busy with his vitally important video games (and flirting with other girls online which I didn't know about until after I broke it off). At one point my computer died completely. I called his cell phone a zillion times and each time it went to his mailbox which was, you guessed it, full. The second day my computer was dead I got really bored and decided to call Garry...so I had someone to talk to. We wanted to wait and see if Gregg was even so much as worried about me. The next day we were talking again and guess who called him in the middle of our conversation. You got it, Gregg. When Garry began talking to me again I was sobbing...I would have broke it off with Gregg that week but I had plane tickets bought for his visit. Late September I began to have feelings for Garry. He had always been there for me when Gregg was purposely ignoring me (that and he knew more about what Gregg did than me) and overall was one of my best friends. We had this Romeo and Juliet thing going on for awhile before I finally got the guts to break it off with Gregg. He seemed okay with it at first, figuring I'd come crawling back to him. He had no idea bout Garry and myself. We decided to make our official date October 13th though we technically got together a little earlier than that. Since then we have been together...ups, downs, and everything inbetween.
We get to see each other (approximately how often): You know, we have this system going now where we see one another about once every 3-4 months. When we do see one another we usually spend only about 2 weeks together. I went to California in May 2007 to see Gregg but went to prom with Gregg and Garry (and thank god for that, Garry made it funner). Then he came out here May of 2008 to go to prom with me (that was the first time we saw one another as a couple). That lasted two weeks. Then last August I spent two weeks in California. Then he came out here December 30th and left yesterday :( :( :(
Future plans: We talk about them all the time and they're so rediciously far in the future. Our short term plans are to painfully spend the next four months apart until my graduation rolls around. Then we want to fly out to California to visit his family along with some friends. Then we want to take our time and drive to wherever I'm going to be going to college at to begin our lives together. After that we hope to be married within the next two or three years. Within the next six or seven years we hope to have our first child...we're so pathetic. We have two names for each gender picked out even. (and for those who are curious the names are: Isaac Baltazar, Aaden Michael, Aurora Mae, and Rose Marie. We want to give the girls another middle name as we ALWAYS refer to Rose Marie as Rose Marie and not just Rose...that and he has a Guatemalan background and we want to keep that in the family...so the names would be spanish. We just haven't really put much thought into it as we're not looking to have children any time soon)
