[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.]

Holy CRAP were you flirting! Sheesh! That's awesome. The funny thing is that those comments came in real time, so they were slow and built on each other in actuality. Reading them, you read them as coming quickly, so it looks even more ballsy than it was!

Did you just post the word "marriage" in your comments here? I'll pretend I didn't see it :)

[trochee.livejournal.com]

I didn't post it.

[boobirdsfly.livejournal.com]

Do I have to go and correct that comment ?
Anyone notice that it said If we ever.... before the Word.
Everyone take a breath, it's ok. No one will see it coming without being consulted or informed.
Lordy, lordy :
Boys.

Hey, I just saw the word. It's quite a word :)

Made me happy, that word. Gave me a nice image.

I've actually already picked out my dress.... so.... just let me know.

I'll wait here....

Yeah, can BWB and I be maids of honor? Or at maybe we could be emerald maids.

Big word that. This might be one of those links that gets pointed to in 25 years.

[trochee.livejournal.com]

sheesh!

[boobirdsfly.livejournal.com]

What did you sheesh ? Becky's 25 years ?

[trochee.livejournal.com]

planning the wedding party already, sheesh!

[boobirdsfly.livejournal.com]

I know.
Boy I tell you, it's the last time I say that word in the presence of other people !
Who knew people could get this excited about us.
Oh wait . It's not people. Its Willum.
He is a possum.

[beckyb.livejournal.com]

Well, I have a perfect emerald green velvet dress. That's all. As long as it isn't a summer wedding.

[boobirdsfly.livejournal.com]

Jesus, stop it you people already !
Troke, I am sorry, I've started a monster ..... ;)

[beckyb.livejournal.com]

I'm just sitting here giggling you know. After a long day of judging, it's fun to sit and giggle.

[boobirdsfly.livejournal.com]

Heh.
I realized recently that people are really scared of that word because of what it means traditionally of course. And because everyone usually has such a stressed out horrible time at their weddding that everyone now believes that it has to be a bad thing.
Oh and also because so many people get married in order to prove to each other and their close ones that they love each other.
And all these are wrong reasons to do it.
It's amazing how much impact language has .
Well, that's nothing new really... but. I wish I had a little spy camera into people's brains and what images they get when they hear certain words. It's fascinating.

Here is mine:

Absolute, uncontainable joy :)

I'm like everyone's mom. If you guys ever announce that to me, I can almost promise that I'll pee my pants and trounce around the room.

[boobirdsfly.livejournal.com]

Yeah well keep your pants on because it's not in the plans and ... I was just talking about the play of me and Troke...
Life will go as it must...
:)
But thank you for being happy about our love because I know that that is what you are happy and supportive of.

[trochee.livejournal.com]

if your play on that subject involves blackwingedboy taking his pants off, we need to talk.

:-)

[boobirdsfly.livejournal.com]

You managed to make me laugh just now, which really is a tour de force.

[trochee.livejournal.com]

good. Making you laugh makes me happy.

[trochee.livejournal.com]

if I were ever to surprise you with news like that, I'll remember to bring Depends.

What can I say? I'm old.
