... can't believe it... finally a game I'm happy with 🙂. I noticed the fork and then for some reason, I was certain that it was a good thing (I was sure I was the other color. 😳). Nice comeback though 😛.

I think that game was a gift from above. Nice job on losing your queen though 😛

Honestly I've never had a mental block like that... I was absolutely certain moving that pawn won a queen (which I guess it did!).

just out of curiosity, why did you weaken your kingside so much? you should have just developed normally, castled and then owned him with the extra piece and pawn. Instead you threw caution to the win and lost your queen... if black played better, like if he played 21...Rd8 for example, you would have been hard pressed to find a win. Maybe you should have played 11.Be2 (planning 12.e5!) d6 12.Bf4 then 13.Nb5 or 0-0 depening on black of course

I was playing against a player rated 1000... I gave about .5 seconds thought to each move (plus I've been watching too much tal and morphy 😛)

Yup, it's amazing how a 1000 rated player might have a good move or two, or succumb to an attack by a higher rated player. I just happened to start playing in April of this year so forgive me for my mistakes.
P.S.- Not that it really matters but I am a girl 😛

It takes a lot more than that to offend me 😛, and please let us make fun of everyone as often as we can, life is much more enjoyable that way!
