My girlfriend is my super special someone. We first met on the Anime Vegas con forums and from there our relationship just seemed to blossom.

It was an amazing stroke of fate I think. Every year I would go to a convention, whether it be local or the Amime Expo. That year I really wanted to go to the Expo because my friends really wanted to go to that con, and I felt that if I didn't figure out a way to get them there, I'd be letting them down.

However that year I was denied by my folks. They didn't want to hike up to LA again that year. My parents didn't like the city and that according to them the Expo was a much easier trip when it was in Anaheim 2 years prior.

I was utterly heartbroken, and like a spoiled little kid, I sulked and gave my parents the silent treatment. Usually I wouldn't get so upset about such piety matters, but that summer would probably be the last real summer I'd get to spend with all my friends who were either moving or going off to college! I wanted to do something special for them!

I guess sulking had worked; this was something really important to me. They said that they'd level with me and take me to AnimeVegas Con instead. I could see the excited looks in their eyes when they told me. They absolutely love Vegas; we even have timeshare up there. I like Vegas too, the lights, the sights, the shopping! XD

But this time, I just wasn't as thrilled, none of my friends were willing to take off college for labor day weekend. I was all alone.

Well with the ticket already paid for I figured I might as well make the most of it right?  I had to figure out what I was going to cosplay for the AnimeVegas con. And wouldn't you know it, fortune struck when my good friends Vi and Amy showed our entire group of friends Axis Powers Hetalia just before the end of the school year! I was instantly enamored and a brilliant idea struck!  "I've got it! I'll cosplay America!" XD

After I had finally made my decision, I figured why not see if there's going to be a Hetalia gathering? Lol, sure enough I do, and there my future darling Terri posted that she was going to cosplay as China! Of course I didn't notice her right away!  XD I noticed the Korea cosplayer first because she had her DA page address on her AnimeVegas signature! I clicked on Korea's page and found out immediately that she had a birthday! But what? There were hardly any birthday wishes on her page! I instantly created something for her on the spot! China, being a friend of Korea, commented on the Deviation I had made.

Wow she has a DA page too?! XD So being the total DA nerd that I am, I began to watch them both. It was interesting, Korea didn't post much but China sure did! I enjoyed looking at China's artwork and reading her journal entrees.

Then there was one day China had written in her DA journal, that she was having a bad day. I was saddened at first to hear but then decided that instead of giving her the stupid standard "hang in there, it'll be okay" pity line, I decided to be proactive and make her something special! X3

I was really happy when she cheered up! But what really got me was when she said "I love you" for the first time. I knew it was just platonic fan girl sisterly love. But, it really hit deep down. Cuz you know I never say I love you to someone unless I really mean it, I don't hug someone unless I really mean it, and I don't kiss someone, not even on the cheek, unless I really mean it. I'm that kind of person.

Nonetheless we continued to become more and more friendly over DA.

We even got to exchange cell numbers with each other too and with the few other Hetalia cosplayers. Txting became fun, sending back and forth pictures and messages, etc. Even though at the time it was very low key.

Then finally the day for AnimeVegas finally arrived. I was so excited! I really wanted to meet China! I even told my folks about how happy and excited I was to meet up with her and the rest of the cosplayers!

At last I finally saw her, well at least it looked like her. She walked by so quickly I had to take a double look. After a few awkward glances of uncertainly we continued to walk in opposite directions. I wanted to walk back and confirm my suspicions that the person I had seen was indeed China but unfortunately I was occupying my cousin at the time. It was a real pain  to baby-sit her the whole time.  Because of her my mind was always off elsewhere. But I guess China must have been thinking the same thing as me because just as I sat down with my cousin on the ground, bam! I get swarmed and glomped by China and her friends! XD

I couldn't really explain what I was feeling, China just seemed like a really friendly person. I wanted to stay by her side, and get to know her more and more like a friend. Like a magnet I was completely drawn to her.

Then came the night of the AnimeVegas Ball.  We had so much fun already, but when she jumped up and kissed me on the cheek my eyes went wide with shock. It wasn't really something I was used to. And then she did it again, she jumped up and pecked me on the lips. It was my first kiss in over 6 years! I knew she meant it as a friendly gesture, but after that I couldn't get her out of my head. I wanted to spend every waking moment of the con with her. I clung to her like a little puppy or like a little baby chick.

We all had fun but finally the AnimeVegas Con ended. At that point though we were still sending lots of txt messages back and forth to each other nonstop! XD

It wasn't until I came back home that reality began to settle in. How could some girl make me this happy when I already have a boyfriend!? I thought about it long and hard for a while.

I was going through some inner turmoil at that time in my life. It really wasn't cool and I was really depressed.

I had confessed my love to a girl before, so I thought nothing strange about the possibility of liking Terri. Terri, was more of a friend then I've ever had, even before we began dating, she was the happiest thing to enter in my life.

There was one night, when she txted me about something, though I can't remember what it was, I just remembered that it was something that was causing her to have a really bad day. Her pain hit me deep. I wanted to do something for her.

It was then and there that I realized that I loved her. I wanted to always be there for her, to make her smile, protect her, and share all of her emotions and pain. I wanted to do everything I could for her. She was someone I wanted to love and cherish with all my heart.

Well I hate mauling stuff over that bothers me. I was so confused that I immediately went to the DA help forums for some advice. But wouldn't ya know it? Damn stupid bad luck to have friends that stalk your every move! >_< My ex boyfriend read my column on the forums way before I could figure out any of the turmoil that was whirling away in my heart. We talked, and as much as it pained me to hear him say it, he told me it was okay to follow my heart and be with this girl. His words broke my heart. I didn't want to hurt him, but in the end took his advice. That same day I took action and told the world over DA via journal that I broke up with my boyfriend for a girl. Shocking yes?

Terri's reply to my shocking DA journal confession was a little suspicions…Maybe she had feelings for me too.

The Hetalia cosplayers from AnimeVegas Con were planning a Chritsmas get-together that winter. I was planning to confess my love to her face then, ya know, like a real classy gentlemen. Well after a little pep talk with Lithuania I found that I just couldn't hold back anymore! On September 22, 2009, at exactly 7:00 AM, I txted Terri my confession. I was completely overjoyed when she said yes!

From then on out our love just seemed to grow. It didn't matter the distance; our hearts were always there for each other. And even though we've only known each other for less than a year, already she has made one of the biggest impacts of my life~<3
So yeah. I found this club not long ago :icondistantlovers:
for long distance lovers. I suggested to the club that they have like a special section for stories, advice, experiences, etc. on long distance love.

So yeah, the club founder thought that it would be a good idea and thus inspiration came to me to write something of my own.

I figured I'd start from the beginning and write about how I first met my girlfriend who at the moment is currently sharing a long distance relationship with me. There's a lot of mush, but I couldn't help it ya know?

Writing is not my best subject either and so if you have any sort of literary advice It would be most appreciated! :D

Thanks again and enjoy! ^_^
