I have a friend that recently went back to Antarctica for work - I mailed her a few packs of Arctic themed Legos and I think I might have over done it:
We've both had crushes on each other on and off for the last 10 years since high school but the timing never really worked out: I was in a long term relationship when she confessed she liked me, and when I got out of that relationship I was hospitalized (didn't take the break up very well I guess - ha). We hung out a few times, but I knew she was dating someone else - since I was just recently cheated on by my ex, I really didn't want to 'make a move' so it was kinda awkward.
By the time I got my head on straight/graduated college and got a 'real job', she moved to a couple of different states and eventually Antarctica. I bumped into her sister at a wedding this last winter and was told she still had a thing for me (though her sister was a bit tipsy at the time, so I am not sure how reliable that was - haha). I sent her a pack of crayons and an ipod shuffle loaded up with some of my favorite music and got back a postcard letting me know how awesome that was (her ipod crapped out on her and her headphones broke about a week before my package arrived) and a pretty awesome drawing she made.
She came back here for the summer but we didn't get an opportunity to hang out before she headed back to the ice - I went on a few vacations and she went on a few road trips to reconnect with friends she hadn't see in years since she'd been away.
I am just nervous because she is such an unreasonably-wonderfully-awesome-adorable person that means a lot to me and I don't want to screw up - but after 10 years and a lot of missed opportunities... I just don't know anymore...
