[meme] first contact [imtboo]

[trochee]

It's a chain letter meme, adapted from imtboo's post here. She posted about a friend's first comment in her journal, so I'll post about her first comment in mine.

imtboo's first comment in my journal was a recommendation to go visit Neah Bay, along with a mysterious hint about her identity. In the ensuing thread (over two days), she flirted with me, I flirted back, we discussed Romance languages and romance -- appropriately enough -- bloomed as she asked me out ("I am not hitting on you", sheesh) and I accepted (after, I think, this hint from caracola), leading to this date, and we're together eleven months next Friday.

I miss her. This is the longest I've been away from her since then. We still haven't visited Neah Bay.

[As a postscript: I discovered today that if you google for lj imtboo, my journal comes up as the first link.]

This entire interchange just reads like you two could have written it last week instead of before you met.

[trochee.livejournal.com]

Yes, it does. Check out this linguistics debate from the following week too -- not much has changed.

[beckyb.livejournal.com]

Ah. Match made in heaven.

[boobirdsfly.livejournal.com]

Though it looks like you won that one !

[trochee.livejournal.com]

heh -- you're right.

I don't win so many any more.

[boobirdsfly.livejournal.com]

No no that's not what I meant ! I meant more like , see I do let you win sometimes...;)

[trochee.livejournal.com]

;)

I know! That's nice of you, 'cause you know, you could kick. my. ass. if you wanted to.

by the way, I find this thought very heartening. It's not that I needed the reassurance, but it's just a beautiful observation. And it makes me happy about me and imtboo.

Thank you for that observation. Having these keen observations is a perq of having people like you for friends!
