So Jason says he may come to visit me at the end of the year.  Yippee!  My Mom and Dad get comp slips from the casino for free hotel stays, so I asked Momma if I could have one for me and Jay and she agreed.  Woohoo! Jason has been such a good friend to me ever since the first day we met each other.  He has always been kind, non judgmental, and helped me come closer to accepting myself, because I see how he just accepts me as I am, as a person, not a mental case or a chick with baggage - just a person.  I would go as far to say that aside from seeing an uncircumsized penis, meeting Jason was the absolute highlight of my time in Northern Ireland.  I'm sure he's flattered ;-)  Once he finishes his Master's degree he is considering working abroad, as he can make a lot more money is his field (biomedical science) elsewhere.  He hinted at even working in Chicago.  Whether or not he was serious remains to be seen.  With each day holds new possibilities...
