That is soooo sweet!! Six months??!! wow! I tried to make a journal for my bf to read when I went to Europe, but after the third day, I didn´t do much... Of course, I finished it days after I came back and sent him an email with it! :D ;)

OKAY...

I'm on day 3 now... I've not heard from him in a day and a half. :cry: This is where it's going to get harder. :(

MKCustodial, that's a really good idea. I'll head to the bookstore today and pick up a cheesy romantic novel that he'd usually make fun of me for reading.

I've already started something like the journal, just not as personal. I've sent him an email or e-greeting when I go to sleep and when I wake up just to tell him good morning and good night. Even though I know he won't get them until after he gets back, it makes me feel better knowing I *tried*.

Thanks for the ideas! Keep them coming. I've got 5 more days alone. *sigh*

Happy to see you liked the idea! But... Won't a romantic novel make things worse? Like, get you missing here even more? :lookaroun

Well, I went to the bookstore and ended up buying a book on Jackie O. I thought over what you said MKCustodial and you were right. Thanks! I figure Jackie O should be one of the books that would keep my mind far away from thinking of him down there.

:lookaroun He got a tatoo and he won't tell me anything about it except it's on his bicep... :lookaroun EEKKKKKK!! Something permanent he decided to get while "under the influence" with a big group of 20 year old guys... there is no telling WHAT it could be of! :veryconfu

Luckily, it is of a heart that reads: "I love One Lil Spark" ! :D :lol:

Ha! I wish! Actually, if he tatooed my name anywhere on his body, I'd have him remove it! Imagine if we were to ever split?? Yikes!

He plays college football, so I'm *hoping* that if it's anything, it's a Lion on his bicep for the team. I'm crossing my fingers that it's just that... I'm not sure though. If he was drunk it could be a huge pink easter bunny across his forehead and he'd not know the difference! :rolleyes:

Well.. as I see it... if you ever split, it´s better if he is the one who has your name tatooed, than if you had his! :lol: :animwink:

Very true! I'm still crossing my fingers that he was lying to me just to see what I'd say. :p

~MAYBE~ It's a Figgie! (Hey, I can dream can't I?) I'd allow that one... although that wouldn't look too intimidating on the football field. :lol:

Day 4 of 8... "Hump" Day...

It's actually harder than I thought. Today I've not done a thing but get up, brush my teeth and get on here. I just got off the phone with him. :(

He's been being a typical 20 year old "guy" in a party town on a beach if that says anything. It breaks my heart to hear him tell me that they've not done anything fun so far and then have him in the same conversation tell me how he went to Club La Vie (or whatever) and did body shots!

I know it sounds stupid, but I wonder if he's letting out a big sigh of relief being away, or if he misses me.

Geesh, I really need a hug now! :cry:

*hugs you*

Ok.... has he gone on a trip like this one before? IF not, there is your answer.... he is having lot of fun in a way he is not used to. He probably misses you being there with him, but he knows he wouldn´t have the same kind of fun with you than with only a bunch of guys. There is nothing wrong with the fun he has with you, eh? just different. Don´t expect him to say that he feels miserable not being with you, bla bla bla..... he is a guy! We do think of them all the time when we are on vacation with girls, but they don´t really do the same.... :rolleyes:

I´m sure he is way too excited and with many things to tell you that he hardly asks about you and how´ve you been... am I right? Hope not, but that´s so typical! They don´t even realize it until much later!

Don´t worry... he loves you, but he is just a guy! :animwink:

My guess is both. I'm sure he misses you, but like Maria said, guys are guys. We need our space. It doesn't mean that we don't care. Let the man have his time with his friends. Don't smother him. He'll be back to you soon. In the meantime, use the time for youself. It's important for people to have time away from their significant other just for themselves, and that includes you. Sitting around waiting for him to come home will only make you crazy. Do something, anything. Catch up with other friends, do something for yourself that you enjoy, whatever. You need balance in a relationship for it to be successful.

So there you go, unsolicited advice from a stranger on the internet. Don't you feel better now?



btw, Mars Hill?

Well, Spark, half way through...

I know it's really disheartening (sp?) when you're suffering and your loved one is away having fun, and you BOTH know that. I've been in that situation, and I have to tell you: I don't know what's worst having fun and sharing or trying to be miserable and not being able to because you're having fun.

Anyways, it's just like everybody said, he does love you, but sometimes it's nice to be away. Another example, I only see Julia, my Loved One, on weekends. Now, we spend those precious hours together no matter what, either going out or staying in. But if I know my friends are all together in my place (something REALLY rare these days) than I ask her very nicely to go home early so I can spend some time with them. Mind you, this RARELY happens, because of college and work and stuff, and when I'm able to throw her into the fun, I do, because we share the same group of close friends. But those times are cherished (sp?). I know that, when it's all over, he'll be back just for you! :animwink:

BAnd besides, we're all here for you during these hard times... :D

Do stuff with the girls. My friends and I had so much fun when all our boyfriends would be gone, or whether they were there and we just went out together and left them at home. Try NOT to talk about guys. Do something fun....go to the pool, waterpark, movies, take a road trip and split the cost of a room. Just do fun things with them, maybe get a good comedy to watch. And Don't listen to love songs...oh, those are killers.

Hope it's going good for you. I don't see you online right now. I'm pretty much a night owl and check in some through the night although it's not very late right now.

The hardest thing to do is trying not to think of something...ugh!!! :hammer:

Day 5 of 8

MORE THAN HALF WAY DONE!:sohappy: :sohappy: :sohappy:

I'm *trying* to take an optomistic approach from now on. Geesh. I sound so pitiful sometimes. Thanks for all the great advice everyone!

Last night, I went out of state and had dinner at an expensive restaurant. What was strange about it, is I went with my mother that I haven't spoken to in over a year and a half since she had an affair with the next door neighboor. We patched things up and that took a HUGE weight off my shoulders that I've been carrying for quite a while. I also updated my dvd collection and got 4 new movies.

Today is a new day, and no matter how much fun he's having there, he could never have fun on here with you guys like I can, so he's the one missing out! :p

Keep the suggestions coming! I've still got a little over 3 days until he's back, and I don't want to slip! :animwink:

Thanks again!!!! *BIG hugs*
(Time for my daily dose of Figment)

OH, BTW --> Yes, it IS Mars Hill... How did you know Wilson????? :lookaroun :eek: :D

Hey, nice to meet you! :wave: I thought we'd only get to meet you after Spark's boyfriend returned and then she'd "free" the computer... :lol:
