We seriously bonded last night. I explained to her about how I ended up her. All about the missed deadlines, about Lyndsay, about us being separated and not sure where we'll go from here. She knew about my kind of trouble all too well.
She met her girlfriend Sharon online while living in Brazil. They both participated in some sort of gay/lesbian online forum and started chatting online. Then they talked on the phone and really clicked. Sharon decided she wanted to come to Brazil and meet Carla in person. They really got along well. Carla then visited Sharon in Chicago a couple of times on a tourist visa. They were apart for a year at one point, but eventually decided they wanted to live together. Since a fiance visa was obviously (and unfortunately) not an option, Carla decided to apply to grad schools in the Chicago area and if she got in, she would be able to get a student visa. She was rejected from the schools that were actually in Chicago and was only accepted to UIUC. Sharon is not too happy about the situation because she really wanted to settle down with Carla, and she is now about a two and a half hour drive away.
I think it's going to be sort of fun being in the house for two weeks without the owner of all the stuff in it. Carla and I get to find our own way around, and it gives us both some time to take some ownership in the house and the way things are run in it.
In other news, this cute guy lives on some lemon balm in our front yard.
Don't touch! Those spines might make you itch.
