Awwww...

fiddledragon's and my friendship is now officially a Relationship.

You can read her account here.

Even as our friendship was deepening, we had talked about postponing the question of whether we were Together until we were living in the same city, but then there was the day at the Museum of Science — can we call that a date now? — and the growing closer and pouring our hearts out to each other over AIM and finding the places where we each make the other whole, and... yeah.

In honor of this sweet, tender affection, the temporary inconvenience of the intervening 400 miles, and the saving grace of the telecommunications infrastructure, I'll be adding the best long-distance relationship song I know (thanks, telynor!) to my concert at Boskone.

Oh, yeah, and I have a short concert set at Boskone.

400? 400? It's only 326, or 200 if you're Fred! :-)

And yay!

Mazal Tov! (Unless news of a relationship is like news of a pregnancy, where the real point is the end result, in which I guess it would be B'Sha'ah Tovah- but I'd say this is good enough itself without anticipating a potential future.) I don't know the lady, but I wish you folks all the best. ANd I look forward to getting to meet her should she visit.

I haven't forged a coherent, self-contained philosophy of relationships, timing, the long now vs. the eternal present, etc., but this is definitely a mazal tov development. A long-distance relationship is, in some sense, necessarily future-oriented, but in the now this relationship is reminding me about open-heartedness, about how to love, and be loved, and that I am lovable in that way, and does not need to justify itself by what it might later become.

Just like, when we declared publicly that we were "just good friends", we meant that our relationship didn't have to justify itself by becoming what it has since become — which is how it was able to do so.

Good good. As terribly overly-serious as I tend to be, apreciating relationships for themselves is generally much wiser than only valuing them for the marriage they Might eventually produce. So in general, *sproing*. And thanks for the clarification.

Yay! I think it must be a particularly good sign when, you know, the relationship is so right that it just doesn't make sense to fail to admit it anymore :). Best wishes, both now and in the even more exciting future!

I have to admit that my squee was momentarily confused by my staring at your lj-name and having no idea who you were.

The problem is now solved. Squee!

[wayman.livejournal.com]

... momentarily confused by my staring at your lj-name....

I would say, in response to your comment, ROTFL, but really, the solution is more ROT-something-else. :-)

I said this elsewhere, but congrats! That's awesome.

Many congratulations!

Boskone = big Boston SF con.

*glowbouncebounce* Yes, we can call that a date :-)

Congrats - lovely post. Hers is, too.

[mneme]

Yay! Felicitations!

And, of course, good luck!

See you at Lunacon!

[batyatoon]

*raises glass* Cheers! Here's to love!

...sorry, I've had that song in my head for a few days now.

Congrats to you both! *beams*

You know that icon is really funny now in light of this.
