It's taken a while, but hey...
I was born a long time ago, in a place a long way away.

I was one of only three funny-coloured people in an ugly dormitory town near London. I went to school and didn't fit in. I went to a different school, and failed to fit in so well that I had to go to yet another school. Somewhere along the way, I remember being asked by some ginger kid if I'd rather stay 'that colour' or if I wanted to be normal. Oh, I knew the answer, you bet I did... but I said I'd rather stay funny-coloured instead. Wrongo - more lovely lovely social ostracism.

Then I went on to a polytechnic, and hung around with fellow geeks, and that was good.

Next, I got a job as a consultant, and spent far too many years wandering about the country, from pillar to post. I was never anywhere long enough to find a place, and I'd disappear before anything could start to feel familiar.

I married someone, and managed to not fit in at home any more. That ended, and I was once again alone.

Time passed, as it usually does. Adventures happened, but each time I seemed to move on or be pushed out before I could finally relax.

But then, one special and magical night, for the first time, I shared a kiss with Pink Goddess. As she wrapped her arms around me, and I held her, I suddenly realised that this place, in her arms, this at last was the place I was meant to be.

We fit, like two jigsaw pieces in a box full of bits from a different puzzle. At last, I fit.
