So we yearned and ached and wished, he wanted to get married, but I went to Portugal with the new guy.

He was ready for marriage and babies, and I was ready for travel and adventure. We went our separate ways and got what we wanted. In the meanwhile, I always thought of him as the love of my life.

Fast forward some eons.... he tracked me down last November, we were both free, the timing was excellent for both of us, I had only a couple days before declared to the universe that I was ready for a mate -- and *POOF* there he was, as if a genie had conjured him up.

He said, "I've always thought of you as the love of my life."

<cue music and roll credits>

edit: oh, wait, the PICTURE .... when he got married, he destroyed all of the photos of our hot vacation.... but he kept the NEGATIVES which were all corroded and grody all these years later. He had this one restored, so it feels like a primal, sexy artifact of an ancient love that's been pulled out of a vault from a shipwreck at the bottom of the sea.

*slow clap*

Angela, this part of your life would make a great movie. It's one of those stories that sounds too good to be true but is at the same time totally believable!

He and I keep saying that to each other -- that it feels like a romantic movie. We keep having these amazing synchronicities pop up, and some of them are just so wild and unbelievable that they won't even make it into the movie!

Yup! That story totally fulfilled all the romantic requirements that any good ex-soap opera fan like me has. You guys are just like Luke and Laura!!!

Thanks Angela for sharing!

We are EXACTLY like Luke and Laura, except he never raped me on the discoteque dance floor. But we love Herb Alpert's "Rise"!

As it happens, we first dated right around that time period.

I was gonna have "insert melody to Rise here", but seeing how odd that whole rape scene was, I thought better of it!

This is my favorite picture of me - Halloween two years ago - I was a warrior princess. I've always loved fantasy/sci-fi, so this was a moment I got to live the fantasy - LOL.



I look so mean, and I'm not at all, so that's also why I love it. And I look nekkid, but am actually wearing a poofy, strapless bridesmaids gown.

Oh, darn, I don't know how to add a pic from my computer. (Will figure it out and edit this!)
In the meantime, I'd like to 'semithank' your partly-obscured avatar for being so half-beautiful! (gonna wear this running gag out!

Gorgeous. When I first looked at it, I thought you were a naked drummer punk.

Nobody's ever really "j/k." There must be some aspect of you that is a naked drummer punk. Do you think maybe you are the reincarnation of one of the punks who O/D'd in the 70s? Maybe you are Keith Moon!

I've got a lust for life, but truly, I just want to be sedated.

Actually I am an old (figuratively) punker, and being a girl drummer is always something that's fascinated me. The only part I can't see is the naked - I'm way too shy - LOL. Actually, I can't see the onstage part either - but the inside me thinks the image you painted is true.

I was born in the 70's - ahahaha!

I think I've said this before, but can you imagine what a screwed up sense of what relationships are all about that whole storyline (and soaps in general) gave to a ten year old little me? Whew! No wonder I ended up married to the kind of guy I did!!!

This is "General Hospital" sometime back in the 70's. The infamous Luke and Laura. Lara was married to another man but working as a waitress in Luke's disco. Luke is secretly "in love" with Laura, therefore does what any man in his right mind would do when he is faced with not being able to have the woman he loves, he rapes her. Laura, in true soap opera style, realizes after being raped, that she actually LOVES Luke and they ditch her good guy type husband and go on the lamb together.

I think it was THE most popular soap ever at that time.

Pretty amazing

And the most watched wedding on television, ever. Wild, huh? Hw4B, I ran into "Scotty Baldwin" (along with his pal "Peter" from the Brady Bunch) at a celebrity tennis tournament way back then, at the height of his heyday. Very flirtatious encounter!

Sorry for the topic tendril. Now back to our favourite pics!

Angela, what a pity your needs weren't synchronised. Is he married now? (As in how come you're not together as you seem you love each other?). I've been very lucky i guess that our wishes were matching, we started with the travels and adventures, then wanted children at the same time...and something tells me when the children are a bit older more travels and adventures (i mean overseas... we've had some good holidays and adventures interstate as our son has always been great with travels, he was 5 months old first time he got on a plane).
