It's really strange how some things tend to follow after each other in an odd stream of coincidence. There was a topic in the VAA, where a person was asking if there were such things as soul mates. I believed such things were possible, though it did not necessarily have to be in a romantic sense or limited to just one person.

And not long after saying that, I feel like I've come across one. o.o

There is a gent who I met via one of the many AVA AIM chats. (Yes, yet another ^^; ) who I developed some curiosity over. Once again, I was a sucker for the voice, as he did have a nice baritone. He seemed to like my singing as well, since I was showing my Outlaw Star ending theme audition I'd recorded. There was a point in the chat where we were talking about eye color and we showed pictures to each other, both of us having blue eyes. "The kind of eyes you can stare at and get lost in," he said to me. Indeed Nice voice + flattery = win!

So, we ended up talking directly and agreeing to sing a duet together on Saturday. The song we chose was Come What May from Moulin Rouge. Through all of the afternnon I had him record, trying to adjust his pacing so that I'd be comfortable blending (as I was used to the original song's pacing). We took a break to chat in Iparty, then he tried to record once more, the third take he sent me being the charm. After God knows how many takes and some editing, I mixed the clip down and showed it to him. And he was impressed with it. ^-^ I was quite happy with it too even though it still could use some work (especially on my part x.x ). The verse where we harmonize is truly the best part of the song.

We've been talking and flirting off and on since, though more flirting on my part I think. Sheesh, it's interesting how much of a flirt I can be online, and yet in person I can't be like that so easily. 9_9 Anyway, I ended up reading his lj today, since he added me, and reading the entries is what brought on the thoughts of him being a soul mate.

You see...reading his entries, I was truly reminded of myself. And I'm stunned, because I've not felt that strongly alike to a person before. He's like a kindred spirit to mine, one who could comprehend and empathize. It's truly uncanny. I told him today that he reminded me a little of myself. The usual "Am I scaring him?" worries creeped into my brain, but I tried to shut them up. He didn't seem bothered by the statement.

But alas, I do not know the extent of his interest. As I said on the boards, it is possible to be a soul mate and not necessarily be intended for each other as lovers. Is that what this will be?

So many lights that come into my life...will not one stay with me?
