CarrieT Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 I have a feeling Johan decided that his relationship is no longer any of our business. Good call Johan! Darn! I loved reading about the high he was on... Hoping it is going well, Johan! 3
Emilia Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 He is naughty, he is around here more than you would think 1
melodymatters Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 So basically he is a being a very naughty, passive aggressive robot !

You're in big trouble buddy ! 2

Forever Learning Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 Ho hum. Not even a crumb about his big overseas adventure? Or is it on another thread and I missed it? 2
amaysngrace Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 Ho hum. Not even a crumb about his big overseas adventure? Or is it on another thread and I missed it? No I don't think you missed it. I asked him about it too and he ignored me. 1
january2011 Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 Maybe after the initial opening of his heart and mind, Johan just wants to enjoy the relationship and he's keeping all the ins and outs to himself? Or perhaps she is sexing him up so much that his positronic brain is in meltdown and he doesn't have time to type updates on LS? Let the robot be happy. The tendency on LS is that people only post when they have bad news, so I prefer to think that all is well in Johanland and that's why he's not posting. 6

Eternal Sunshine Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 I am sure johan would post if there were problems The thing is, sharing so much personal stuff makes you feel exposed and opens you up to attacks. I made that mistake but never again. Sometimes you just want to follow your own instincts and enjoy your relationship in peace. 4
Art_Critic Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 The thing is, sharing so much personal stuff makes you feel exposed and opens you up to attacks. Who is attacking him.. okay.. I have but I do it out of love.. no homo... Nothing wrong with not sharing after you've already shared... Go Johan..... 3
Forever Learning Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 (edited) This is five days old but I'll take it as a good sign. http://www.loveshack.org/forums/romantic/long-distance-relationships/346729-70-miles-too-far-away-2.html#post4314031 Excellent detective work!! Even though I have no idea how to put that into perspective. Well, maybe. I know Houston to Pittsburgh is about 1400 miles. So 4,000 miles must be from the USA, across the Atlantic Ocean, over to Eastern Europe, somewhere in Transylvania, perhaps the middle of the Black Forest. I am so tempted to write my own ending to this thread, regarding his journeys to visit her in a haunted castle on a mountaintop, through a dark and dangerous woods, filled with Werewolves, Vampires, Trolls, Elves, Hobbits, and walking talking trees and quicksand and such. Mostly Vampires though. Riding a pack mule up a steep and narrow trail up the mountain, with rocks falling off the trail to the bottom of the deep crevice below. All while being pursued by wild wolves and creepy otherworldly creatures. Johan is wearing an old English outfit like Sherlock Holmes would. She is wearing a long flowing yellow gown like Belle in Beauty and the Beast. They are being pursued by a shady creepy man in a long black cape who's skin is a pastey shade of white. He is only seen after sunset. You bet I have the Halloween spirit! I'm eating candy corn as we speak. Edited October 16, 2012 by Forever Learning 3
Author johan Posted October 23, 2012 Author Posted October 23, 2012 All right. I should update this. I see now what idle minds can get up to. I've had a lot of other things on my mind. First of all, things with her are going great. The distance is a drag, but we are dealing with it. Maybe we can make it go away at some point. The trip was incredibly hectic. There was something going on, someone to meet, somewhere to go, a flight to catch, some sight to see, pretty much the entire time. It wore me out. It was actually very relaxing to just come home and get back to work and a normal schedule. Except I couldn't. My return flight was cancelled, and my bags lost. So I flew home early the next morning wearing 24-hour old stale clothes, and then drove hours to go see family, who were visiting my state for the first time in years. And then when I came home from that, I caught a plane for a business trip. After getting home from that trip, I got sick and was knocked out for a couple of days. Since then, I've been busy and distracted. The city she lives in has so much history, and it's so real. Not something you just read about on plaques as you wander around with your camera, but real. You can touch it and really imagine being there and living through it. Six inch shell impacts in the brick walls. Signs of fighting still there. And memorials everywhere, with lists of people's names who died bravely and sometimes not even as soldiers, but killed for being samaritans. In the midst of all that, where so many lives were lost and so much fighting and destruction occurred, I stumbled across a granite stone monument to 9/11 engraved with such heartfelt words. And there were candles and flowers left on it. Can you imagine? People actually went out of their way to do that even now, over 11 years later. As an American, I found that to be incredibly touching. I couldn't even talk. It's one of the most moving things I've ever come across. I don't even know why. It gets to me thinking about it even now. So many more died there. Bravely. After living through months and years of torment. After being invaded and occupied and bombed by no less than four other nations. Their city was destroyed. Where in my city can you see a memorial to the brave people who died there? No where. We have no memorials to anything. But within 15 minutes of my house you can go to seven different Best Buy stores and buy cheap electronics. They don't have that. Seeing her and being with her was really great. In spite of all the stress and exhaustion, we got along so well. We were a great little team. And the attraction was there as much as before. I admit my feelings kind of fluctuate in intensity. It's the reality of it all I'm dealing with, instead of the fantasy of finding Ms. Right. I think she's Ms. Right. And that means my life will never be the same. 15
amaysngrace Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 So that's very good news except for your smelly clothes story. 5

A lot of Eastern Europeans have a big heart Very pleased for you. I think you always know quickly when your life changes for the better. It's like you get the chance to grow to be a better person. 4
Forever Learning Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 That was awesome Johan. Thank you for the insight and for the reminder of all that I have to be grateful for here in the USA, and how different it is in the hearts and minds of those who live under such harsh and harrowing conditions in other less stable parts of the world. I appreciate that. And it was so well written as always. 3
Forever Learning Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 My favorite line in Johan's post is 'We make a great little team'. So cute!! But then my idle mind juices it up a bit to spy adventure like Mr. & Mrs. Jones. I need a bit more of a juicy thriller spin to all this. Full creative license to exaggerate immensely in telling the tale is totally cool in my book. I hope Johan gets bored and drunk one night and gives us more scoopage on this. It could happen people, Christmas is coming, we've all been very, very good around here! 3
GardenDiva Posted November 1, 2012 Posted November 1, 2012 Wow, just finished reading this whole thread. Phew...not sure what to say. SO happy for you Johan! Funny about that "great little team" line..that's what hubby used to say to me when we were dating. Hope things continue to go your way. 3
ja123 Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 I just read the thread. Wow! This is amazing! I really hope you it works out for you! 1
