FC

Sigh. At the major risk of coming off as intensely boy-crazy, I will say that my feelings for FC are at an all-time high. Maybe it has something to do with the new photo of himself (with glasses!) that he just sent me. I don't know. FC and I have known each other off and on for about 2 years now. He's absolutely perfect, but of course he's TOO perfect hence, we aren't married already with 9 kids. I know I've mentioned like 5 guys on here already, but honestly, FC is one of only about 2 or 3 guys I've ever felt I might be able to make a commitment to someday. However, though FC counts himself as one of my closest friends, he's never had a girlfriend, toyed with the idea of becoming a priest for a while, and now he finds himself back at home in...Nigeria. That's right folks. I'm gaga over a guy who is now finishing his college degree in Nigeria. You can't even send a letter to Nigeria without paying almost 10$ (and it never arrives anyway.) The place is violent and corrupt and I worry about him every day he's over there. To make matters worse, it's FC's older BROTHER who's interested in me; after that happened, FC definitely didn't want to get involved since in that culture an elder brother is to be ultra-respected. But I don't like the older brother, I like FC. That messed things up way back a year ago and then I got very distraught and ignored FC for like a month because it was killing me to be around him but not date him. I know that sounds selfish and crazy and it was, but when I say I'm gaga over FC, I mean it. And I get weird when I get gaga apparently.
Anyway, FC sent me a new photo of him and now I have my hopes up yet again that maybe something will happen between us, even across the waters, etc. (he's not going to stay in Nigeria forever!--he has about a year to go on his degree). He also invited me over to visit and stay with his family, but my mom won't have it since it's so nuts over there right now. I'd probably be all right but my mom really would freak out, even though she's heard great things about FC.
I'm going to see if I can post a photo of him up here so y'all can see and behold the sweetness that is FC.
