Thorns Amongst Roses

After spending some few months alone and being, well, very lonely, I am once more with someone, a very special someone, at that. One Miss Sabrina Swartz, if you want to get technical about it.

The story of how we actually came to be together is mildly amusing, if nothing more and probably a little unbelievable to some few individuals out there, but believe it or not, it's the way that things happened and, well, quite frankly, I wouldn't have it any other way right now.

I have ever been one to believe in the power and meaning of dreams, so when I had a dream some time ago which left me a little confused and slightly uncertain, not to mention insatibly curious, I was very eager to figure out just what it meant. I have found that if ever I have a dream which I remember upon waking it has some meaning to be applied to my life, and I did not doubt that this was any different.

Being one to believe also in the tools of the ancients, I was very quick to consult with my Runes. The stones spilled out of their bag in the following order:

Knowing what I do of the Runic phonetics, and the fact that the letters are read from right to left, I glanced at this and read it, 'SABRINA.' ((Technicly, the last character makes the 'eh' sound, but I have here translated it as an 'a' because that is how I read it upon first seeing it. There is no distinction between capital and lowercase in the Runic alphabet, and all are assumed to be read as capital in my experiences.))

Being quite a little shocked to see this name, for it was the name of a person with whom I work on the weekends, I consulted also with my Tarot cards and they, too, confirmed the message which was spelled out for me.

After giving some contemplation to these omens and also to my own personal feelings on the subject, I finally decided that it was a prospect which I liked the sounds of. So I built up some degree of courage and, in my own clumsy fashion, asked her out. She rather eagerly accepted and added that if I hadn't so done, she would have fairly soon.

That was June the 22, and still we are together, and growing closer each passing day, a fact which I am most pleased with, for I love her very dearly and look forward to as long a relationship with her as the gods will grant me.

But that's probably more than enough of my rambling on and on and on and on and on, so I'll just stop now and quit boring those of you who didn't really care to read this.
