Difficult to See - Always in Motion is the Future

1. You approached me at Disclave '91 (a science fiction convention)

2. You extended your hand, but I said I didn't shake hands

3. You spent the rest of the convention making sure no one disturbed me

4. I called you often, and you me

5. You came over, we talked

6. You drew the most amazing picture of me and gave it to me as a present - I was speechless

7. You helped me move out of my apartment - I asked you to hold the picture for safekeeping, and I would retrieve it later

8. You called to tell me your fiancee died, and we talked for hours. You were moving, but I said I'd call you again the next day

9. When I called, the phone had already been disconnected

10. Frantically, I called 411 and friends, but I couldn't find you

11. 18 years later, someone sent me a Friend invitation on Facebook, and I said, "Okay, you can't have too many friends." A moment later the name registered. You had found my picture and sent me the invite

12. You spent the better part of a day watching me and another Friend argue about a topic you posted

13. You emailed, you called - I found out you were in New York, but I was still in Maryland

14. I asked if you still had the picture of me, and you said it was right there in the room. You had never given up hope of finding me

15. Unsure of our status, you came down to this area and we met at a hotel - neutral ground

16. We decided we had a good time, and we did it again, a few times

17. You traveled down to Philadelphia to be with me when I was going to the Headache Center there

18. One trip, we were in the middle of a blizzard. All buses were canceled except for the one going to D.C. We decided you were coming home with me

19. I went up to New York to spend a week with you and hang out. We binged "The Blacklist," among other things

20. You moved back down to Maryland

21. We saw each other more and more - we talked every single day, sometimes multiple times a day

22. We "hung out" for two years before we decided we should have a proper "first date"

23. We went to see "Star Trek Into Darkness" and I introduced you to Ethiopian food

24. We continued the "dating" thing and decided we loved each other - you were always patient with me and respected my boundaries, and I couldn't imagine anyone more caring and loving than you

25. Somewhere in there, one night sitting on the couch, you asked me if I wanted to marry you

26. I said, "Of course, silly"

27. (Fill in future here.)

The Women I Have Been Warned Against Becoming

1. Woman of Matter

-Woman who will not share space, who does not remove her elbow from the arm rest at the doctor’s office while she waits to be told she is not to scale

2. Woman who Roars

-Woman who speaks over interruptions, who met silence and left it lying in the streets because she refused to listen to what it had to say

3. Woman who Needs no Shield

-Woman who learned self-defense from chopping onions, whose knuckles grew thick as metal from kneading dough

4. Woman of Curiosity

-Woman who always asks questions, who seeks answers inside the bellies of beasts

5. Woman Clothed in Strength and Pride

-Woman whose heels click and lips shine, who dresses above the knee because she is not ashamed of her thighs

6. Woman with Teeth

-Woman who bites back and draws blood, who scrapes knees and bruises ribs with her tongue
