The mystery of the radiator

Sooooo....one note first: due to the fact that I am FINALLY done with my exams (in fact, if everything went well I should have my first academic degree now) I will be able to spend more time with Angel again, so be prepared for more stories to come!

Second, let me tell you about an issue between Angel and me that arises everytime its cold out there: the radiator issue

Dunno if I told you yet, but Angel feels cold really fast. Just some degrees below room temperature and she feels very uncomfortable (she doesnt sweat no matter how hot it is on the other side, but this only as a side note). As a result, she cranks up every radiator in her range as high as possible, turning every room in a sweatbath for normal people.

Thats would be ok as long as she wouldnt do it secretly...

> We both lie on the couch and watch TV

> She stands up, disappears and comes back after a short while

> Half an hour passes by

> Its getting hot in here

> "Angel, isnt it a bit too hot in here?"

> "I dont think so, its nice."

> Some more time passes by

> "You didn't crank up the radiator did you?"

> "No, why should I do that?"

> Eventually I have to go to toilet

> On my way back, I see that all radiators in the room are cranked up all the way

> Wonder who did this

> Turn them back to a normal level

> The day goes on

> Its hot again

> I check the radiators a second time

> Again they are hot like hell

> Have a suspicion why did this

> "You REALLY did not crank up the radiator Angel?"

> She gives me an innocent smile

> "No, really!"

> HFW

Well, what to do against such a smile? Its not like this back and forth is getting on my nerves or something, but sometimes it can be...exhausting. The good way. So what, let her get her way.

Guess what, half an hour later the radiator was mysteriously back on its highest pace again...

The 2nd date

This is another week with nothing special to tell, with Angel working till 8 p.m. and me learning for my remaining tests (one to go till its done!), so let me tell you how our relationship developed after our first date.

While Angel and me were on very good terms other on our first date, and we definitely had a crush on each other afterwards, the following weeks were really...troublesome.

Angel told me later that her relationship with her boyfriend has nearly reached the end of the line, but she wasnt ready to end a long-term relationship for a new one (with me). We talked a lot or wrote heaps of short messages, but we did go round in circles. On one day she wanted to be with me and break up with her boyfriend, the other day she wanted told me she cannot leave him. This went on like that for several weeks. "I want to be with you!" - "But I cant leave my BF!" - "I want to be with you!" - "But I cant leave my BF!"

Like I said...troublesome for both of us.

Then came the point when I had enough of this and tried to take a step further, so I invited her to my place.

> I pick her up at the local train station

> We go to my room

> Again a lot of fun and a lot to talk about

> Its autumn, so there is an early sunset

> We both sit on my couch

> All of a sudden, Angel begins to unbutton my shirt

> Ok...if she wants to, theres nothing special about it

> She undresses her top and bra too

> Oooooook.....

> She cuddles with me for some time

> Unbuttons my trousers

> Shit...! But thats it, she wouldnt go any further. Its still our 2nd date

> She takes of the rest of her clothes

> SHIT!

> She stares at me like a tiger looks at prey

> Did I say shit before?

> Angel fondles over my body with her hands

> Where is this going to end?

> Suddenly it seems that she realises what she is doing

> She turns beet-red

> Puts on her cloth in light speed

> Is really embarassed

> Looks cute as hell

> Leaves soon afterwards, still pretty rattled

In fact I did not take advantage of the situation. In retrospective, it would have been very easy for me to do so, but I think I am way too much a gentleman for that. Hm, maybe this, and the fact that the situation took me COMPLETELY off-guard. I mean, 2nd date...?

But well, I liked what I saw there, and it was hard for me to let her go. And after Angel had left, I came to the conclusion that the way she behaved showed that she wanted to be with me. Yeah, that must be it!

Next text message from her the following day: "Cant leave my BF, will go on holiday with him and my family."

MFW

Its been a while...

... since my last blog post. There are several reasons for that, but mainly its due to my PC being blown up. Figuratively, of course, but its a fact that it wont work for at least some more days, maybe a week. So all I got until then is my old notebook to access the www.

Valentine's turned out as a really nice day for Angel and me, and I even managed to surprise her with her present.

> We meet each other at the main railway station as usual

> Before that, I hid the flowers I got for her in a locker at the railway station (one for large suitcases was big enough for that task)

> "Damn, I really forgot to get a present for you! Shame on me!"
> She doesnt look very sad about that, but I can see that she expected a present
> So my masterplan is on the run

> We go to cinema and watch a romantic movie
> Angel cuddles with me the whole time
> Soooo cute!
> Movie...good, but we both expected more

> After the movie we both return to the railway station
> I manage to bring the locker key into my hand

> "Hey Angel, theres something lying on the ground. It looks like a key."
> Feign to pick up the key from the ground

> "Hm, strange. Lets give it to someone at the lost property office." Angel says.

> "Cmon, thats boring. Its seems to be a key for one of the lockers here, so lets see whats inside!"

> "But there could be something dangerous inside!"

> Try to "find" the right locker and open it

> "Hey Angel look, someone forgot a lof of flowers in here! How nice!"
> I show her a spray of red roses

> HFW realizing what was going on

Yeah it wasnt the most groundbreaking way to surprise her, but she liked it, and thats all that matters isnt it??

One of those questions...

So Angel went to her hairdresser today to get a new hairstyle.

> She comes back when I leave the bathroom

> I see her new hairstyle and changed hair color (still blonde, but way darker blonde than before)

> She comes to me with a happy smile on her face

> "So F4lk, how do you like my new hairstyle and color?" she asked

> "Err...." 

> I suddenly feel very uncomfortable

> "Be honest to me, how does it look like??"

> Me being the honest person I am

> "Well...I liked it better the way it was before in color and style, to be honest."

> She looks at me with a stony expression on her face

> Out of nowhere I get a punch in my stomach, followed by a combo of other strikes

> She is kind of mad at me for the rest of the day

> I know I will regret this for a very long time

In fact, if you dislike (well its not THAT bad, but like I said, I prefer the previous one, and especially her old hair tone) your GF's new hairstyle, theres no way you can get out of this situation unharmed. Learned it the hard way.

How we first met

When Angel and me first met each other...it was a very special day for both of us.

I know that sounds pretty cliche, and a lot of couples might see their first encoutner as something special. So let me tell you our story and see for yourself.

All started around...hm, Winter 2002/2003 when I was dating one of Angels female friends. I didnt know Angel at that time, and after some dates both Angels friend and me realized we had few in common and went our seperate ways.
But somehow she must have talked to Angel and given her some contact informations about me, because some days later while I was in an online chatroom I used regularly at this time, she wrote me some messages. In hindsight Angel told me that she did it because she was somehow bored at that time, but based on how things turned out later, I'm glad she was bored.

So we wrote with each other for some days, and it was fun. Finally we exchanged our cell phone numbers and sent each other a picture to see what the other actually looks like. I also found out that she had a boyfriend at that time, so there was little chance for me to come closer to her, and our contact died down. Sometimes we sent an SMS or two, to see if the other one was still fine, but nothing special.

This went on until August 2006. It was a warm and sunny late summer day, with no clouds in a steel-blue sky. I had nothing special to do on this day and was at home when I received a message from her on my cell phone.

"Do you want to meet me?"

I was pretty surprised she asked me that. I knew she still had her boyfriend and our contact was down to some SMS from time to time. But hey, a cute girl wanted to see me, so I decided to smarten up and meet her.

We agreed to meet each other at the main railway station of the near city which was a 15 minute ride for each of us. I was there in time but couldn't find her, so I called her to find out where she was. It was the first time I heard her voice. Like I mentioned in the previous post, she has a defect on her vocal chords, but I didn't know that at that time, so you can imagine my surprise when she answered the phone. My thoughts were like "Wait a minute...did I call the right number? "Is this her grandma at the phone?" This catched me pretty off-guard, and made me even more eager to see her.

I finally found her and...well, she was a very pretty sight. She stood there with her long blond hair, slightly more than 10 inches smaller than me, wearing a jeans and a black top through which you could see her back and her arms. She gave me a timid smile and we walked to a cafe near by, where we talked for maybe two hours. I still had in mind that she had a boyfriend back then, and had no real intention to interfere in this relationship, but its Angel's opinion that I flirted with her pretty much. She also told me later that when I took her hand in mine in that cafe for the first time it was like an electric shock for her (the good way of course)

We went to two other locations afterwards, ate something at a Pizza Hut and spent some time in the warm sunlight. We were on very good terms with each other and had a lot to talk about. After several very nice hours it was late evening, and both of us had to go home. So we went to the platform where the train towards my hometown was already waiting. I think we both didn't really want to leave the other one at that point, but it was no use.

We were standing there, beside the train, in the last rays of the sun, neither of us saying a single word. Finally Angel smiled at me, wrapped her arms around my neck and gave me a hug.

And then it happened.

I don't know why I did it, maybe because I didn't want to let her go, but I hugged her more tightly and lifted her up. I thought she would say something like "Hey hey, what are you doing" or something similar, but instead of that, she suddenly wrapped her legs around my waist, hugged me even more intensely and whispered in my ear...

"You are great!"

Nothing more than just these three words. 

Next thing I know is that I was standing inside the train already driving, having a blissful smile on my face and several people around me which had seen us giving me some weird grins. Imagine my face like that:

And that was the end of one of the most wonderful days of my life. This day marked the beginning of our relationship.

Rest of the story shall follow during the upcoming days.

Some background information? Here we go!

So with Angel working the whole week till 8, not coming home before 9 and then falling into her bed immediately, there wont be anything interesting to talk about before weekend begins. Thats why I'll take some time to share some informations about Angel with you.

Well, where to begin with...

She has long, blonde hair (pretty obvious due to the blog's name)

She is about 5 feet 1 inch tall

She loves all kind of romantic stuff, for example romantic movies, flowers, love songs, love stories, ...

The food she hates most is spinach

She has a huge crush on pets. No matter what it is, as long as she can pet it she loves it. If she would have enough space at home, she would transform her place into a small zoo.

Besides pets, she somehow likes sharks, too.

She loves to cuddle (with me, of course). I cant describe how much she loves it

She has some kind of defect on her vocal chords that causes her voice to sound like she has a severe cold or sore throat if you dont know about the real reason (this can be pretty funny when people dont know about it and wish her a speedy recovery - maybe I will tell some stories about such occasions later).

She is a morning person (in contrast to me being a night owl)

Her favorite color is red

She is very cute when she is asleep (she is very cute in general, but especially when you can watch her sleeping)

She feels cold quite easy, so in wintertime she clings to every source of warmth she can find (usually me or the heater, or both)

She can hardly speak a word of English, which leaves it to me to transate all english songs she likes for her

She has a horror of using an elevator. Dont even think about dragging her into one, you will regret it!

There are tons of other facts as well, but this should give you a small impression what Angel is like.

5 days till Valentine's

Well, there are only 5 days left till the day of love and couples, Valentine's Day. And I'm still busy to figure out what to do to please my angel.

Since she is the type of girl who loves romance and sob-stuff very much, flowers are always an option. Maybe some long red roses? Pretty stereotyped I know, but like I said, she simply loves this stuff. Whenever I get a spray of flowers for her, her reaction is as follows:

> Get flowers for her

> Pretend not to know anything about that present for her

> When she expect it the least, conjure up the spray of flowers

> "Surprise! I got s.th. for you!"

> Be rewarded with a beautiful smile on her face and a blink in her eyes, just like that:

This leaves me with the question where to take her out to on this special day. Dinner at a nice restaurant for sure, but afterwards? I already considered several options, but I cant decide yet whats the best. Have to ask her about her working time during next week anyways, so I'll leave this on the to-do-pile till I'm sure she wont be too tired at that day.

If anyone has a good idea, I'm grateful for every suggestion. Even if you have an idea that needs more than 5 days to prepare, dont hesitate to tell me. There will be a Valentine's Day next year again.

In any case, this goes to all guys out there: Prepare s.th. special for your lady at this day! Show them how much they mean to you.

And so it begins...

Hello folks, and welcome to this blog. 

First let me intruduce myself to you. I'm F4lk (obviously not my real name, but it will do for the moment), already 26 years on this planet, currently working on my bachelor's degree and now writing the first post of this blog.

Now you may ask yourself: nice to meet you, but what is this blog all about? In reference to the title, its about my girlfriend, or more precisely about the time she allows me to share with her and all the big and small adventures that occur in our relationship.

Ever since we met - and fell in love with each other - my life changed for the better in many ways. 

There may be not so great times as well, with both of us arguing with each other, but in general...well, theres not a single doubt that I want to keep her forever.

So there are two main purposes for me writing this blog. First, I want to thank my Angel with this blog for all the wonderful moments we shared and - hopefully - will be able to share in the future. Second, I want to give every follower of this blog an impression of the ups and downs of our relationship and our everyday life with all the little joys and anecdotes. There may be some posts from time to time that are not directly related to my girlfriend if s.th. catches my attention, but I think this should be ok.

So stay tuned for more posts to follow in the coming days and weeks, and I hope you will enjoy them!

Maybe a personal note to complete this post: English is not my native tongue, but I wanted to write this blog in English to improve my own skills and to give a wider audience the possibility to follow this blog. So have a little patience with me =)
