Quelonzia and I have been together since I was 4 years old. She first appeared to me in a dream. Over the years, she has been my mentor, guiding me along the path I wanted to go.

There have been times when I doubted she really existed...especially when I was submerged in the day to day struggle of just living. But she never left my dreams, and her patience has been an inspiration to me.

About 5 years ago, after some rather difficult times in my life, we slowly began to merge into one. Now when I look in a mirror, I not only see myself, I see a dim outline of her also, and this has brought more joy than I can convey. I don't know if she felt more attuned, I don't know that anyone else would really understand. I only know that I no longer need to dream to know what she would say.

I bought a computer in December, 1994. Most of my experience previously had been with pc's in the work environment and a network that was only connected with the home office. The computer came prepackaged with Netcom's Netcruizer...and I haven't stopped cruizin and learning since! I originally only subscribed to rec.arts.poem (cuz I'm a poet;), but while perusing the newsgroups I came upon alt.fan.dragons. Curious, I subscribed in February, 1995, and began to lurk. After only one week of lurking, I knew I had found a home. And it's been a revelation, being able to let that part of me which is Quelonzia, out to play. ;)

I have been pretty much a loner, all of my life. My family and the one or two close friends I've taken the time to come to know were pretty much my only outside contact. Being on the internet has opened a whole new world for me, and I suddenly find myself out in that world, not only on the net, but in the real world also. And I find myself understanding more and more everyday, what my dragon self has been trying to tell me all these years...that there is a world alive all around me, and to take joy in immersing myself in it.

Addendum: After more than 2 years on the Internet, I have met many friends, grown in both knowledge and joy, and have met (and married) the Light of My Soul. I would say my dragon was indeed right, wouldn't you? *smiles warmly*
