so, people get together, they have relationships, and sometimes they break up.
and it’s sad when pals or family, people you care about, end a relationship that seemed to you, as an outsider, just great or sweet for them.
so it’s funny and predictable to me that part of me is so invested in Cherry and Matt staying together. it’s really odd, on some level i don’t really care all that much if a dear old friend gets back together with her ex, but i have some sort of fundamental need for Cherry and Matt to work out.
Cherry and Matt’s story, to me, is pretty much one of the sweetest i’ve ever seen, certainly on the net. so i find myself periodically checking in to see if these strangers are still together. there’s a certain purity and hopefulness about how they got together and stayed together, something undefinable that makes me smile.
I hope they aren’t skeeved out about people all over the world knowing their story and wondering about them. A and i, when we got together, were the first people to have met on nerve.com and get married. nerve put an ad about us with our picture in their print mag. since then nerve’s gotten kind of yuk for my taste, but at the time we enjoyed it and thought it was cute.
so here’s to you C&M. i hope you two stay together, but not for my sake, of course, for yours. [grin]
mostly unrelated: i love this best of craigslist post about the pdx dating scene.
