I don’t believe it. Uptown Girl actually emailed me back.

She apologized for not getting back to me sooner and wrote that she was very moved by my email. Words fail me. Words utterly fail me. I thought for SURE I was never gonna hear from her again, and to see her write this, I have to wonder if I’m being punked here.

Since then we’ve chatted on AOL, and we both agreed it was ok to take things slow. I’m thrilled because it gives me time to get my act together before we meet in real life, maybe buy some nice new clothes, and perhaps try to remember once again what it was like to behave like a gentleman. I may even have to start brushing my teeth now.

Nothing’s been set in stone yet, but this was a HUGE hurdle that’s been leapt. I practically bared my soul to her, and it didn’t seem to faze her at all. Thank you Uptown Girl.
