I'm sure that almost everyone has had the sensation of time passing faster or slower depending on the circumstances.  I'm certainly feeling just that sensation of late, especially the feeling that the days are creeping by ever so slowly.  I have a trip upcoming to see someone very special to me, and my departure date has taken forever to come around.  Rationally, I know that it really hasn't been that long in the course of things.  While I am there, though, I know the days will speed by much too rapidly.  I suppose that's the way things work, though...I simply will have to focus on making the absolute most of the time available on the trip.  Ah, what I wouldn't give for a bit of magic to twist time (oh, and space...yay teleportation!) to have more time to spend with her.

I must say that it's a bit odd for me to actually be posting things of any true personal feelings.  I've been online for half my life, but I was always hesitant about actual blog posts about me and my life.  I spent forever as a pretty private person, but I've been sharing more and more of myself lately.  I know it all ties in with the hours of talking on the phone with her, and it makes me happy.  Another thing that she's given me that's improving my life.  It's still taking time and effort, but it acutally feels good putting up posts on blogs and to twitter about how things are going.  I'm sure that trend will continue, so maybe I'll be even more active posting!

I'm still borrowing computer time for now, though I have picked up the gear needed to salvage my hard drive!  At least I'll be able to keep all my music and other info when I do nab a new laptop.  When that will be, well I'm not sure...but at least I have friends and family that let me feed my computer habit :D

Oh, and since I did update my display name to Tivare, I should mention my actual name is Ben (no, not short for Benjamin...short for Bentley!).  As far as Tivare, it's Quenya and references my middle name of Warren.  So I suppose I could use Tivare Sardello Tyr'tanote, which is my full name in Quenya.  I have her to thank for the full translation/conjugation :)

(and I know I haven't referenced who "she" is, but she knows just who she is...one day I may fill in everyone else...but it's easier for me to put up posts with that bit of obfuscation.  Still getting used to sharing personal emotional information via blogs :) )
