text: I am in a long distance relationship.  It's not terribly far (about an hour), but with our schedules, it seems farther.  It's a new relationship (2 months so far), but it's going very well for us.  We chat, email, talk on the phone, and see each other on most weekends.  If you really want to be with someone, the distance is a necessary thing, no matter how much it sucks.  It's just one more thing to strengthen your relationship.  And the time we do spend together is that much more special.:)
