Thanks I would have responded sooner but I've been spending time with her.
Greaaaaat... so we lose another forum regular to "romance"... I really feel that "real world" relationships are the death of online communities! I had such good times with my old high-school and college buddies, until they all wandered off to "fall in love" or "build a solid engineering career", or "bring a new life into the world".
What's next? True happiness? Love and fulfillment? Soon, you'll be going outdoors into the WORLD with her... what if you like it? Then, we'll lose you for sure
Jeez, that will be the death knell of geekdom, MARK MY WORDS.
(Oh, and congratulations, BTW! Finding someone awesome who's willing to put up with your shit is vastly underrated. Mrs. SD is my best friend, and the most important adult in my life... it feels like I've learned everything about everything from her, and should properly spend the rest of my life repaying her somehow.
