I first emailed Potter in May 2002, but only really began to email him regularly in early August. By early September we were in love, and soon after that we became more or less certain that we want to spend the rest of our lives together. If you think that’s fast… his parents knew within seconds of meeting each other and were engaged within a week 😉 ---

I knew he was The One about 20 minutes into the film. Morpheus (Lawrence Fishburn) kept on going on and on and on about how he felt about Neo (Keanu Reeves), and, Hollywood being what it is, I knew they wouldn’t dare end the movie any other way.
