18 November 2002 I can't believe it has been almost 2 weeks since Omid was here. I miss him so much. That evening he went back to Sweden. Ever since we have been talking in the chatrooms and on the phone. I'm trully in love... that's something that doesn't happen a lot. I miss him soooo much... Oh I said that already... well I really really do... That evening we were supposed to go out for dinner, instead we ended up in this coffee shop near the train station. If you live in Amsterdam or if you have ever visited these coffee shops in Amsterdam, you'll know what kind of stuff you can get there and need I say coffee isn't the main item on the menu. I have been living in Amsterdam for over 16 years now. But never had I stepped into these places. I was kind of curious. Omid wanted to go too, because he just couldn't believe it. 4:27 pm
"Which one should I get?" Five minutes later... Thirty minutes later.... Omid was feeling so high from all that smoking that he wasn't quite his cheerfull
self. As we were sitting in the train he looked so sad and frustrated. I was afraid
he was totally going to freak out! I sat next to him and put his head on my shoulder...
On my way back home, Negin called me on my mobile. I know Negin for more than
2 years and she's really close to me. Last year she came to Amsterdam with her parents
and we decided to meet and we really clicked. We had been best friends ever since.
We talk every day. She called me to ask me how it all went. I said it went fine except
for the end when the boy got high! Negin had met someone online too, just like me. So it kind of felt like we bonded. Except her so-called boyfriend lived in Dubai and she lived in Sweden. They were 'cyberseeing' each other for a year and I just can't grasp how they can live like this. She had no money because she lived off daddy's money. But daddy got really angry and cut her allowance in half because daddy's "little" 27-year-old girl had quit her study. Her cybermate was even worse off. In Dubai he was an illegal resident. So there was no chance of seeing each other for a century or two. However Abbas (her cyberboy) and Negin had found the perfect way of having full control over each others' lives. Their webcams were turned on 24/7 and as the webcam can't be moved too far away from the computer, neither would their bodies! Talk about seriously addicted! They even watched each other sleep, eat, drink and God knows what else. Whenever they had a fight, it was always about something really stupid (I think
they did it on purpose because they both got tired of staring at each others' buttocks
7 days a week, but neither dared to admit it!!) and then the cams got turned off
and Negin would call me, screaming all hysterical, that she would never ever talk
to him again, that she hated him and so on. At first I comforted her, as I really
thought this was the end of their relationship. After a while I began to understand
that it just meant they wanted to get out of the house every now and then.
