This is a funny story, kind of.
So as some of you know I have been "busy" trying to get tickets and obsessing about everything with the tour. I have been very active on a large U2 messageboard (don't worry, I am not neglecting tpunk; at least I don't think so
) recently.
A few weeks ago I randomly started talking with this guy who lives in St. Louis. He is going to the Philadelphia show (like me) and a bunch of us will be meeting and sharing hotel costs. He seems really cool and we have been talking on instant message for hours on end and once on the phone. Just 2 days ago I decided that I was going to spend the money to go to another show, Chicago, with him the week before Philadelphia, despite the cost and the fact that it is the weekend in between exam weeks
(hey gotta live it up, right?!)
So about a week ago we admitted to each other that we are both embarrassed to admit that we feel like we really like each other. On Friday he sent me flowers. Last night at 2 am he asked what I thought of the him flying to Atlanta to meet me. Well within two hours, he had bought me the ticket to fly to St. Louis to meet him this weekend (I would rather him come here; just seems like the guy should travel in these types of situations but I have a roommate who would not be very cool with him staying with us)......and yeah. He bought me a ticket to come visit him! I am leaving on Friday night and staying until Sunday night. We decided we wanted to see if there is anything there before the shows in May; we were anxious. I am very excited but nervous. I am trying to go into this with no expectations; I am going to be out of the country starting in May for the better part of a year, and even when I'm not, hell St. Louis is 500 miles away. But I figure at least we'll be good friends (but I have seen a picture of him and he looks cute!
)
So, anyway, I had to get this off my chest. I am not telling my family and only two friends because this seems wrong on so many levels. On the one hand, I love that I am so random and spontaneous...who would've thought 2 weeks ago that I would want to visit this guy, or even last night at midnight that I'd be going to St. Louis this weekend? On the other hand, I still think that meeting people online is kind of taboo, and again, it's not like he lives in Atlanta. I am flying to Missouri!!
Now I know that KCL and SD met online and Omid seems to be meeting some girls online.
Well I don't know what the point of this thread is. I guess maybe to get some reassurance that I am not insane. I can only imagine what my parents might say if they knew about this "he could be a psychopath/killer/child molester"....
Ok thanks for reading guys
