Unexpected Visit
Since Sarah wants to see a post about her visit, like, now, I'll recap it here...
This past Monday night and Tuesday, I got an unexpected treat. A friend of mine named Sarah Miller was able to come to Simpsonville and visit! Sarah and I have been online friends for at least six or seven years, and we've shared lots of fun memories. She and I are fans of role-playing games, and we used to be active in this big online community called the Marvel Sim Chat. My character was Spider-man, and hers was Guyver, from the popular Guyver anime series. But we've had some of the craziest adventures together and put our characters through the most unbelievable scenarios you can imagine. It's a wonder they don't hate us by now. But beyond that, we've had a great friendship that has grown stronger over the years. That's something that will outlast all of our RPGs.
But anyway, Sarah's from Illinois, but she's been living in Atlanta, GA for the past couple of years. She had plans to move back up to Illinois to be with her family, and we worked it out for her to stop here in the upstate to visit. We finally got to meet up late that evening, and we headed out to the movie theater to see Superman Returns (a great movie, by the way). We caught a pretty late matinee, and I didn't expect the movie to last so long. I think it started at 11:15 and didn't end until around 1:45 in the morning. But neither of us were all that tired. We headed back to the Comfort Inn where she was staying the night, and talked until around 3:30 AM. You shoulf see our chat logs sometime. We both like to ramble. A lot.
Sarah had to leave around noon the following day (coincicentally the 4th of July. Ouch), so we got together one last time to go for a walk in the park. We discussed everything from our RPing history to the current state of the comic book industry (it's a pretty bleak one, I'll tell you that much). We capped off her visit with a quick lunch at Subway. Sarah was so funny; she was about to go on the road for an 11-12 hour trip, but she refused to get her food until I ordered for myself. I wasn't really hungry, but I wasn't about to let her drive all the way to Illinois on an empty stomach, so I grabbed a deli sandwich. Thankfully, she had a good trip back and arrived home safely.
We had been planning to meet for some time now, and so I was grateful to finally have the opportunity. Oh, and also. Please pray for Sarah. She's dealing with a lot of things that I'm not going to detail here for the sake of her privacy, but still, please pray for God's blessings and peace on her.
