Farewell, NOLA

[IndiReloaded]

Fear.

Maybe not a good reason, but a reason nonetheless.

Ah, well. **** it.

I should've kept this to myself anyway.

Now, now, don't backpedal, we're all rooting for ya.

IMO, fear is about the *only* reason we don't do the things we want or should.

So you're afraid. Big deal. Afraid of what, tho? That's the next part...

My apologies for getting off topic, but I find your involvement with AmeriCorps [as per your initial post], simply irresistible not to respond to it. I, too served in AmeriCorps and in the two years that I was part of the program, it was one of the best decision[s] that I had made. My hats off to you.

Oh, yeah? What programs did you serve? I was in AmeriCorps*NCCC as well as an AmeriCorps*VISTA. I didn't finish my second term because of school but my NCCC year was easily the best year of my life thus far.

Not only did I get to travel, do service, live with the greatest individuals this country has to offer, but I got a girlfriend out of it too.

[thelonius]

I was with AmeriCorps NCCC. After leaving my somewhat "shaky" journalism career, I was left without any clue as what I wanted to do with my life. After my sister informed me about AmeriCorps to which I signed up, and it's one of the decisions that I made that I don't regret at all. While there, I didn't get to travel much, but I assisted in a center that catered to the needs of individuals with disabilities.

As far as wooing the opposite sex? Well, I could've had the opportunity -- since the women far outnumbered the men -- but I'm a one-woman person. I was already dating the woman I love during my first year; engaged to her on my second year, and eventually got married shortly after completion of my service.

[Gribble]

Shaky journalism career? May I ask what that was about? I'm studying journalism, actually.

Maybe you should join NCCC then!

Hey Lonius, what campus did you serve under? I was the SE Campus in Charleston, SC (which was recently closed). Gold 3, Class XII. By the way, nice keepin' with your girlfriend, there were far too many tempting prospects when I served. With a ratio of 3 girls for every 1 guy? That's a guy's dream come true.

EDIT: I'm leaving for the airport in an hour. Can't wait to see her, I only got 4 hours of sleep.

I worked in both radio and print media ... doing mostly "behind the scenes" stuff [e.g. production, editing, etc.]. I was fairly a newcomer at that time, that I was given mostly, custodial-like work by my superiors. In addition to working all the time [forget weekends, holidays, evenings because it doesn't exist in mass media], it didn't pay much. There was this local radio station where I was asked to either take the job or the door when I asked for a little bit of a raise, because most of my salary [then] was being spent on pumping gas in my car. I took the door instead. I got my big break when I became a writer for the Associated Press. But it was short-lived when I turned down the offer to cover the news in Bosnia. We were bombing the heck out of Milosevic and his cronies back then, and I feared for my life.

Frasbee,

I initially served AmeriCorps with my alma mater [Plattsburgh State University]. I'm not even sure if it's still there, cos it's been a while since I visited. I followed my wife in Queens shortly after graduating. While employed with the NYC public schools [in the Bronx to be specific], I became involved with AmeriCorps once again, through the teaching fellows program [which was launched by then Mayor Rudy Giuliani and education chancellor Harold Levy]. I would've done it again, but I'd been told that I could only serve a maximum of two years.

Thankfully through AmeriCorps, there was life after journalism ... even better. I was given the opportunity to educate individuals with developmental disabilities [e.g. Autism, Down Syndrome, mild to profound MR, etc.]. 10 years later, I'm still hoping to make a difference in their education and wellness -- one child at a time.

I set my deadline to move to Oklahoma (closer to her) this November.

My trip back down to New Orleans/Pensacola, was awesome.

Made some progress with the sexual aspect of our relationship...

It's a beautiful thing~

may we have details?

[Junket]

It was amazing.

I mean, like...I don't know...she finally let me take off her bra...which was a huge step in itself. Not only that, but she didn't bother putting it back on once we took our "rest". By this point, it was less to do with her breasts than her trust with me.

I had attempted (again), to go down on her, but she didn't want me to, and she told me that she felt like it wouldn't be fair for me to do that for her, if she wasn't comfortable reciprocating. I wasn't expecting reciprocation to begin with.

So I let it drop.

Until the next night...where I slowly made my way down again, and she let me have a go. No sparks flying yet of course, but for now, it was my first and last. I can't wait until I move closer. She's getting more comfortable sharing herself with me and I love it. I'm open to how I can improve my performance and she was givin' me a few tips afterwards. The only time I ever knew I was doing something right was when she'd start to tug at my hair.

Regardless though...she was delicious.

Go Frasbee

sounds like your persistence is paying off, and you're reading the line between "no (but I secretly want you to)" and "no (or I'll kill you)" really well, man!

that's awesome.. heh, delicious, huh? Make sure you tell her (: also, maybe there wasn't enough light for her to really see this, but does she have a hood? I do, and for me getting oral gets about 80% better when he kinda.. uses his fingers to get the actual clit to come out. lol, over-share. But yeah, I think it would take me forever to come without that.

[Junket]

I had to use one hand to pull her panties to the side, and the other I used to a lesser extent, only because I didn't want her to feel like I was just probing her. We didn't plan on the oral really, so I did what I could with what I had (with my limited knowledge).

It may seem silly, but I wasn't about to try to strip her naked, I don't think she's ready for that, I think she finds some security in staying at least a little bit clothed. I did get to her clit, but it's just a matter of what to lick where and when I've yet to figure out.

All in due time.

She seems to like that I try at all.

'Course, I don't intend on settling for less than what I'm capable of achieving.

ARGH!

I can't wait for November to come.

Shit, I might try to move in October even.

[vashti]

Oh my god! How have I missed this wonderful thread?

(singing)
Frasbee's in love..
Frasbee's in love...

Anyway, I don't know if your original issue is still an issue, but I definitely agree with whomever it was that said she already *knows* you love her, whether or not you say the words, and that certainty is better than anything you could ever tell her.

Aww, I am gonna sleep well tonight.

[Junket]

Frasbee's in love..
Frasbee's in love...

Ugh.

I must be.

If only because I've never used so many damn smilies in a conversation with anyone else...

No, I didn't tell her I loved her. I dunno, it didn't seem necessary, and if anything would have sounded almost...desperate? I dunno. The one thing I did say though as I lay there holding her~

Nah, nevermind. That's a enough sap for one day.
