Haha! Would you believe me if I told you that one of my friends doesn't know who Gordon Ramsey is?! D= I was trying to explain him (and "Hell's Kitchen") to her: amazing British chef, blonde hair, curses a lot. xD She made a batch of brownies, but didn't taste them first... so I told her that Chef Ramsey would kick her butt if he knew she sent something out before tasting it. =P
I'm sorry to hear about your father. =( I just read your story... that must have been incredibly hard for you to bear, and to still bear to this day. My parents are divorced, and my father re-married soon afterward... but I don't believe he actually started looking until after they had separated, and thankfully, he hasn't had any other children with his new wife (soon-to-be-ex-wife, actually). I can't even begin to imagine how I would feel if that had happened to me. I think I would also have had to cease contact with him, mainly to preserve my sanity and sense of well-being... but it would have been difficult to cut him off entirely, too. It's not an easy decision to make, and I'm sorry that you had to make it.
You definitely don't have to say anything about your moderator experience if you don't want to. =) I've left some of my positions on good terms, and others on bad terms. At the end of the day, all the staff teams have let me down in some way or another, some more painfully than others. I'm so glad that TeenHelp's staff team isn't full of petty, self-centered individuals. =D If you're still around in a month's time, you really should consider applying! If you're not sure about whether or not that's something you want to do, you could start off by being an associate staff member. That means you don't have the weekly requirements, but you can still help members out through HelpLINK and/or LiveHelp. =) Essentially, you can get a taste of what it's like to be on the staff, then decide whether or not you want to apply.
I hope you'll get to meet soon as well. =) Wow, that's a long time to be friends with someone before dating them! In both cases, I started dating about a month after meeting them. xD It's not the smartest thing I could have done... it didn't work out for me the first time, but it has for this relationship! Where in the United States does he live? I'm in southern California... in fact, Mexico is less than an hour's drive away. =P Not like I would go there, of course... too much violence at the moment, not tourist-friendly at all. =(
