You may notice i write less messages than before. I think i post one or two messages a week.
But, this is not just here. My blog run slowly too.
So "why ?" you may ask me.
All has begun on another forum. I am also on a french psychology forum (nonono ! It is not a forum about the french's psychology ! It is a forum about psychology in french. Understand ?)
So, on this forum, i have met many interesting people. One of them is... A beautiful girl who is single. at the beginning, i didn't know she was beautiful. She ask on the forum why any boy don't try to courtisan her. She explained she is 24, and had never a boyfriend.
So, i started the chat to now why she is like she said. I suggested to send me a picture to look if she is so ugly or really beautiful. she accepted and sent me one. And surprise ! She is really really beautiful : thin, sportwoman, and with the most beautiful blue eyes i never saw before. (sorry Katie )
So i responded by mail, she is very pretty and it is not the reason of is problem. And i suggested her to discuss together to find why nobody want to date her.
And each evening, we discussed, again and again.
And something was born. And now, it is not just by msn, or mail. It is by phone... We were becomming essential the one for the other.
The difficulty result on two things. One, She lives in Belgium and me in Paris. Two, The real reason of is problem. In fact, this girl is a little affraid of the unknown. and what is more unknown than a boy ? nothing. Extraordinarly, she has given me her confidance. I have become a really closed friend.
So i think i seduce her. And i will go to visit her next monday for two days.
I know the sensation i have : i'm in love. But for the first time of my life, i feel something more stronger, i feel she loves me too. Because she want to call me. Because one time we stayed 7 hours in continue on msn. Because she said each time she adore me, (je t'adore)as she want to say i love you (je t'aime).
So i'm on a cloud in the sky...
But, i was so many time disappointed, that i brake my sentiments...
I'll see next monday...
So why i don't post on Hatrack more than i want... I don't forget you, friends, I don't forget you.
I'll try to give you more detail next week.
See ya !

tell her Belgium is EXTREMELY close to France. this is not even long distance Posted by Anna (Member # 2582) on :
And you can benefit from yummy yummy belgium chocolate. Posted by Choobak (Member # 7083) on :
You're all lovely !!!
But don't go too quickly. Maybe the reality of us is uncompatible... I need to meet her before.
About the Squirrel, because Jim-Me want it, you can see it on my blog.
I need to wait to add more detail and picture of my Delphine...
Posted by Choobak (Member # 7083) on :
Oh, and yes ! Chocolate is famous, and Belgium is not as far as... India for exemple ( Quidscribis)
Posted by The Rabbit (Member # 671) on :
Belgium is not so far from Paris. It's only 300 km from Paris to Brussels. In Montana, we'd call you next door neighbors.
Posted by MyrddinFyre (Member # 2576) on :
Oh what a lovely story! Thanks for sharing with us! (I love Belgians, being one myself! )
Posted by Bob_Scopatz (Member # 1227) on :
Ah, Choobak, I wish you the best. This sounds very wonderful and romantic. I hope it works out exactly as you wish it to and that you get to tell the grandkids someday about how you bought their grandmother over the internet. (I'm not saying that to be rude, one of dkw's parishioners was convinced she'd purchased me online...)
Posted by Carrie (Member # 394) on :
When I saw the title of this thread, I immediately thought "Has he met someone?!?!?! Yay!!!!"
And turns out, he did. I hope things (continue to) go well for you!
Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :
How beautiful!!
I hope to hear details soon!!
Posted by Enigmatic (Member # 7785) on :
Hooray, Choobak!
One bit of advice: I recommend not mentioning on the first date that there's a whole forum full of people from around the world waiting for you to post how the date went! Hmmm, unless she seems computer-geeky enough to consider that a turn on...
--Enigmatic
Posted by quidscribis (Member # 5124) on :
Carrie, that was my first thought, too. I'm so glad I was right!
Choobak, you are such a sweet man. You deserve a sweet woman. I hope everything goes well in person.
(Um, and it's Sri Lanka, not India. But close, very very close. )

You mean she didn't?
Posted by Kama (Member # 3022) on :
geez, kwea, Bob didn't need to know that.
Posted by Corwin (Member # 5705) on :
Well, at least one of us Hatrackers has a life. Go live it!
And make sure we're the first to know how the date goes. It's in the "user agreement" that we get exclusivity rights. Posted by Blayne Bradley (Member # 8565) on :
no one can take a bloody joke.

Thank you Blayne.
You obviously still don't understand why that was so offensive and unfunny, do you?
I'd be happy to explain it elsewhere. In the meantime, you still owe Choobak an apology, and it'd be just a gesture of being a normal human being to at least wish him well.

Posted by Choobak (Member # 7083) on :
Blayne, i don't understand what you said, but if Bob said that, prefer to do as you write nothing.
I am a little nervous... I must stay cool and relaxe... In my head, there is to many "if..." i am cleaning it to remember all the attention she has for me.
So, as Corwin said, i give you first the evolution of our feeling. promis !
I give you a hug to each of you.
Edit : I repaired the link of the picture on my blog : now, when you clic on, you open a pop up withe the pict on is normal size.

Choobak! Your squirrels have racing stripes!!!
How cool!
Have a great first meeting.
Be cool!
Wear a beret and have a Gauloise dangling from your lower lip!
Don't smoke it though -- that stuff'll kill you!
Posted by Choobak (Member # 7083) on :
I prefer to have flowers...
And i never smoke Thanks !
Posted by Choobak (Member # 7083) on :
I am at work office, so i am short : I am in love of a girl who love me too. And she is really really really beautifull and clever and fun and.... I have no word. I'll try to give you a picture. I am in a little cloud of the paradise with an angel. My angel !

Is it really rude if I say Choobak has the cutest english ever?? It's adorable. Also, Congrats!
Posted by Noemon (Member # 1115) on :
Choobak, any chance you could post a picture of you guys together? I'd love to see it. I understand if you don't want to do this, of course.
Posted by Choobak (Member # 7083) on :
Hello everybody !
I am in a beautiful pink cloud...
The big difficulty is the distance, of course and the fact she need to work for passing her exams. So the next time i will meet her is in the end of January...
But I am patient : I waited for her 26 years (and she waited 24) that i can wait 2 mounths and half (AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH !!!!! ) for her.
I remember the first night. I had a air mattress and i stay on it. And She stay on her single bed... We continue to discuss in the dark, and at a moment i take her hand. she let me do it. And with shyness (?), i said her "Je t'aime." She smiled and hugged me, and we kissed, sweetly, like the rookies we are. And finally we slept together in his little bed. hummmmmmmmmm......
We took a picture of together but i have not the numeric file : I have just a printed picture i keep in my pocket. But maybe i post it on my blog. If she wants. We are two, and she is decency, and shy, and it is her picture too. But i'm sure she will be ok soon.
[Edit] : Hep, Shani, when do you send me a tape record of sing with your voice ? Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :
Haha, I'm not sure! Maybe at some point, if I have a decent recording of myself.
In the meantime, your most recent post is the most adorable thing I've read in a long time!! It just made me SO happy!
Posted by Choobak (Member # 7083) on :
Hummmmmm !!! I just called her for one hour and half... I finish the communication by reading some poetry of Verlaine and Rimbaud... she was going to bed for sleeping. The last poem i read Rêve pour l'hiver (A dream for winter)
L'hiver, nous irons dans un petit wagon rose Avec des coussins bleus. Nous serons bien. Un nid de baisers fous repose Dans chaque coin moelleux.
Tu fermeras l'oeil, pour ne point voir, par la glace, Grimacer les ombres des soirs, Ces monstruosités hargneuses, populace De démons noirs et de loups noirs.
Puis tu te sentiras la joue égratignée... Un petit baiser, comme une folle araignée, Te courra par le cou...
Et tu me diras: "Cherche!" en inclinant la tête, Et nous prendrons du temps à trouver cette bête Qui voyage beaucoup...
I don't translate it, sorry. But i think google translation can help you to understand it.
I love her !!!
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
Choobak, you are so sweet and cute. My husband and I courted from 1500 miles apart; we had a total of less than 2 months actual physical time together before we were married-- and that is counting the week before the wedding! We found that 2 1/2 months was about the absolute maximum we could go without seeing each other. It was harder to part each time. But now we never have to for more than a few days. I hope your little love story works out as well as ours is!
Posted by Bob_Scopatz (Member # 1227) on :
Translation:
L'hiver, nous irons dans un petit wagon rose The bees! we iron in a little red wagon
Avec des coussins bleus. With your cousins who have turned blue
Nous serons bien. Un nid de baisers fous repose We iron well. Mainly because we use starch and lay the clothes flat.
Dans chaque coin moelleux. With each shirt we're paid a nickle.
Tu fermeras l'oeil, pour ne point voir, par la glace, You close the curtains, so our competitors don't see our secret -- we freeze the starch!
Grimacer les ombres des soirs, <I refuse to translate this. It's a vulgar reference to male prostitutes...grinning>
Ces monstruosités hargneuses, populace they are monstrosities, who don't iron their clothes. Like the great unwashed.
De démons noirs et de loups noirs. they are demons. Wolves in baggy clothes.
Puis tu te sentiras la joue égratignée... But you! You sleep through it all.
Un petit baiser, comme une folle araignée, Leaving me to finish the fat man's entire wardrobe alone.
Te courra par le cou... All alone.
Et tu me diras: "Cherche!" en inclinant la tête, And you say to me, "Search!" and tilt your head
Et nous prendrons du temps à trouver cette bête And I have no idea what the <heck> you mean
Qui voyage beaucoup... And then you go away...
Posted by imogen (Member # 5485) on :
I'm not sure that's the offical translation, Bob.
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
Really? What was your first clue?
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
It was done by Bob...
Posted by Nell Gwyn (Member # 8291) on :
Brilliant! Have you ever considered translating Racine, Bob?
Posted by Choobak (Member # 7083) on :
Oh ! Thank you Bob, for the translation. I had not time yesterday to translate it. And Thank you all for your gentleness and your sweetness to us. I have the picture of us together. But, i need to wait the autorisation of my darling.
see ya !
Posted by Noemon (Member # 1115) on :
Oh, man, I am *so* glad that I didn't read that at work! And that I didn't happen to be drinking anything when I read it. If that isn't the funniest thing I read all day I'll be pretty surprised.
Posted by Noemon (Member # 1115) on :
Choobak, Bob's "translation" wasn't really a translation. It was pretty funny though.
Edit--hope she approves of the posting! If not, though, we all understand.
Posted by Choobak (Member # 7083) on :
Screugneugneu !!! Bob ! I don't really read your translation ! What have you make about Rimbaud's poetry ???? I believe you are a serious guy !!!
...
You're fun, Bob. I like your translation now i read it
hummmmmmmmmm !!!!!!! Love......
Sorry, just a though Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :
quote:I believe you are a serious guy !!!
Bob, I believe you should consider this when it comes time to pick an epitaph.

Choobak - you go! Good luck! She sounds wonderful!
