Me and my boy...

I love him.... I love him with all my heart. We've been together 5 years... today. Sod Valentines Day, I like this day a lot better..
Five years ago today... I found Pete on Myspace.. yep.. Myspace.

I was living in Birmingham and only knew my flatmate... I was in between Acting jobs and saw that Pete lived in Brum and had pretty much the same taste in music... and he looked fit in his photo...so I sent him a message and he replied. We got chatting and he gave me tips on where were the good places to go and we realised we'd been in the same pub on New Years Eve too but never saw each other! We then exchanged numbers and Pete had played it cool saying if you fancy catching up some time then give us a text... great....HUGE ball in my court. So on that Thursday I knew he was in town and I text him (cue wandering around town for a few hours trying to keep busy waiting for a reply). He text back saying that he was meeting some mates and I was more than welcome to join them.. oh christ... have to walk in to a pub on my own, not 100% sure what he looks like and he's with his mates.. also I'd found something to fill some time that afternoon which was actually giving blood (sounds random but I'd tried to go the day before and it was closed) ...so passing out was another concern.
I walked in and stood at the bar, called my mate, saw him walk past (he didn't have his glasses on so wasn't sure it was me) and then plucked up the courage to go over... luckily his mates consisted of another couple so I sat down and we got chatting... we then went to another pub and chatted some more.. we then headed to a club (a pretty dead one) and chatted some more.. then Pete stopped chatting, stared at me for quite a long time (to the point where I actually asked if he was ok) and then he kissed me... all together now... 'Ahhhhhh'... we have been inseparable ever since.
Pete actually sent me a message (via Myspace) two days after we met and I feel the exact same way about the last five years...












Happy Anniversary Baby!!

  18. this is just too weird Emma! Tristan and I meet on myspace too! We meet on there while I was living in the US in Connecticut and he was here in Malvern. I just randomly messaged him. It was October 24, 2005. We celebrate that day and the day we ACTUALLY met in person every year in addition to our wedding anniversary.

    Happy Myspace Anniversary you two lovebirds <3
