Wow, what a day yesterday.  I was, of course, nervous, but I got to take a day trip to Virginia, so it could only be good, right?  Ack!  I was in South Hill, VA when I ran into some traffic  and the E-way basically bacame a parking lot.  Dunno why, never did find out.   So, there I was, stopped in traffic, when suddenly I get whacked from behind in a chain reaction collision.  I was in the 3rd car.  Therefore, I was a sandwich.  And, my little baby car was the only one with very much damage...Blah!  I was undamaged, but I started to cry immediately.  This is not the way to start your first date with someone you have only met online.  After we had all decided no one was injured, I called Gerry, who was on his way immediately.  Sweet.  Then the cop came, and guess what!  I got a ticket!  For sitting still, on the e-way, minding my own business.  Oh yes.  I have to go to court on a work day in Virginia for FOLLOWING TOO CLOSE!!!!!!  That just about did me in.  The tow truck arrived, I grabbed my laptop and off we went to parts unknown.  He kept my car, dropped me off at Dennys, and that is where I met Gerry for the first time. 

We had lunch at Dennys.  Not bad.  Then he drove me all the way home.  Sweet.  So, what could I do but invite him in?  We popped the cork on a bottle of wine, settled in for some gameplay, and chilled for a while.  We were both still a bit upset.  Went out for some Chinese later, which was a great choice.  Food was really good, company was really good, and I had leftovers to bring home!  After dinner we played WoW until late with a couple he knows, and it was a blast.  It's all true!  We just played games.  I showed him Peggle, he showed me, um, something.  I played some magic so he could watch.  It was a great ending to a disastrous start. 

So, there ya go.  Sweet guy.  Great time.  And I even behaved myself!

I'm glad you are OK. The Ticket is crap, if you were pushed into the fourth car. Getting a ride from the Tow truck was a bonus. I'm Happy you had such a good time with Gerry. Being semi anonymous isn't really an issue anymore............ But it's great you found someone you click with.

You know, I totally would have respected you this morning...but only if you hadn't behaved yourself. :wink: Sorry about your car, and the ticket, and all that other crappy stuff...but I'm super happy that you ended up having a good time in spite of it all. **Hugs**
