Having just broken up with a Scandi (and I really don't like Scandi men in general) because he was moving back to Sweden and because it was just not really "love", I never expected another one to come along. I was on interpals because I love traditional penpals and writing letters and I had done a search for some terms that people who are Asatru might use and he popped up. His picture on interpals was so ugly and didn't look like him at all, so I figured what is the harm in talking to him on Skype. Then, he came on and he was cute and sweet and sounded like my Grandpa in Yorkshire when he speaks English and I just fell instantly. I think we talked like 5 hours a day after that (my poor school grades suffered) and booked tickets to fly out to Denmark about 2 weeks after we started talking....

Sometimes love smacks you in the face. :lol:

Actually, I'm really surprised it has worked out so well with how fast everything has moved. :wow:

Seriously. People thought we were more than a bit nuts for getting married so fast, but you can't argue with results. B-)

How we met was that shortly before taking my first German course, I changed my ICQ language preferences to include German. I figured I could use practice. A few days after New Year's, my husband, very drunk, sent me a random chat message and we had the most pointless of conversations, but we added each other and it went from there. Eventually we traded pics. We both thought we were hawt, but the Atlantic Ocean and all. We ended up meeting in person because...

Around 2002, I was friends with a Lithuanian who was a practitioner of Romuva. Eventually, I was invited to come to Lithuania the next summer to learn more about his religion. I wanted to go, but I couldn't afford that. Enter one of my German professors who told me about a dirt cheap three week language course in Oldenburg that financial aid would pay for. It turned out it ended the week before the thing in Lithuania started. Well, huh. So I signed up figuring I would just hop a cheap flight to Vilnius. About a month later, Mr. W and I were chatting about it and he asked where I was going in Germany. I told him Oldenburg and he said that was awesome because he lived about a half an hour from there. He said that the time I was there was going to be the same time as WOA and asked if I wanted to go. I said...k, but I wasn't 100% committed to the idea of even meeting him.

Time goes by and it is time for me to travel from Copenhagen to Oldenburg. I ended up in Oldenburg later than I expected on a Saturday evening. People from the course pick me up and take me to my...guest family. This is just some insane old bat. I was supposed to sleep in her dead son's room that she had made some sort of shrine to him out of among other things. It was extremely hot that day and I asked to get a shower. I thought about what I was going to do because there was no way I was spending 3 weeks there. I realized I still had Mr. W's info in my notebook so just took what I needed to survive and left the apartment. I didn't know where I was going, just needed a payphone (I wasn't allowed to use the phone in the old bat's house). Found a payphone and called the number. His sister answered and gave him to me. He said he was happy that I called and he was afraid I wasn't going to because he knew I had left two weeks prior. I briefly explained the situation and he said he'd borrow a car to rescue me. About 40 minutes later, he showed up, we got drunk, and that was the end of that.

That's a great story. Almost screenplay material...

It is always odd for me to consider how we got together myself. I remember the car ride back to his house, he was explaining everything there was to know about the Wesermarsch, and all I was thinking "D*MN, he's even hotter in person. I'd hit that again and again and again!" :rofl:

It wasn't that we just got drunk per se. We got back to his house and he was throwing a LAN party there. Then his friends decided that they wanted to go to the little carnival that was in town, so he asked me if I wanted to go. I said sure. As soon as we got there, he started showing me all the regional drinks (he was very proud) and I had had a very hard day, so screw it, I was getting wasted. For about 1.5 hours, he insisted he could not drink as he had driven his father's car there, but after some time he relented and suddenly had several bottles of Jever out of nowhere. After another hour or so, the sun had finally completely set and he asked me if he could take me somewhere. I told him sure. So we walked for some distance away from the carnival. He helped me over a fence and we walked over the dike to a beach on the Weser. It was incredible. Night was warm, the moon almost full and high in the sky, we were both alone and feeling pretty good. We had some entertaining conversation. He asked me how I spoke English all the time because it was so hard. :rofl::bonk::rofl: I laughed and we kissed for the first time. He asked if we had to have sex. HAHAHAHAHA! #######, no?! I almost pissed myself then from laughing so hard. So then we spent the rest of the night talking about everything and nothing. The sun started to rise and we had sobered up, so walked back to the car and went back to his house. After that, we were nearly inseparable the rest of the time I was in Germany.

Embarrassing fact of the day - in Vanilla, I used to play almost every waking minute that I wasn't cleaning or cooking. Then, BC came out and I just hated the game all of a sudden - I mean I had been a fairly good player - I was the best priest in my guild and we were through Naxx, but I just couldn't stand raiding in BC. I played for a couple of months after WOTLK, Cata, and then Pandaria and I do like the changes they made in Pandaria, but I'm just not interested in raiding anymore and PVP bored me long ago after I used to do it all night to get a ranking.

Anyways, when you have kids you kind of need a game you can pause because even in the middle of the night you aren't safe from interruptions. :whistle:

I cancelled my subscription so its up in April. Pandas are not so much fun for me and all the dailies...../shoot self. Met my fiance on WoW too...we were in the same guild for 4 years before we even spoke a word....lol I suddenly started PvPing to let some waiting frustrations out of my system.

Food story: We went to five guys and I am honestly not used to fast food places...you know, usually I sit down, choose off of a menu and that is it...so we get there and I am standing in front of the guy and he asks me what I want on my burger and I totally freaked out...I was like..."I don't know, why don't you just put stuff that belongs there and will make it taste good" .....I swear , I did not get any burger because I was so confused about what to put on the damn burger, palms sweating, eye twitching...all that stuff (not that bad but you get the idea). /sigh

Update on yesterday: we had an argument over waffles and bacon....

GC received on the 28th of February, 2014 - no interview, no additional RFE's

Divorced as of September, 2014

Life goes on, my ex-husband is a moron.

We had five guys for the first time in December.

I wasn't impressed.

I mean, it was a good burger, but everyone was RAVING about it and I've had burgers that were just as good and cost less.

I put jalapeno's on my husband's burger and they put RAW JALAPENOS ON IT!

RAAAW! He was disgusted by them because raw ones are so bitter.

Who DOES that?!

I prefer meatheads.

he didnt use the bathroom once

The first weekend that I stayed with my husband, I would turn on the water full force in the morning because I didn't want him to hear me passing wind when I was using the toilet.

My sister told me that when she was first dating her husband, she would try to muffle the sound by placing toilet paper in between her bum cheeks so the sound would not echo in the toilet. I died laughing when she told me this :rofl:

It would be very very hard to hide gas from my husband.

I have constant gas. Probably due to my chronic IBS.

It's horrible when we visit his sister, I'm always trying to hold in farts or walk to other parts of the house.

My gas always gets even worse when I leave my house.

Idk if I have nervous gas or something :lol:

:rofl: omg that reminds me of the time we went to some crafts and stuff store with my fiancees (i always mess the spelling on this sorry) mom and we go thru the isles, he stays behind and I continued on a bit but then decided I wanted to check for something in the isle, that he stayed in for an unknown reason......apparently, he had copious amounts of gas and couldn't hold it anymore and I walked right into it :thumbs: He was actually blushing !!! It killed me.

and for karma purposes....

one time, he tells me he is going to shower (but being at the pc he kept sitting there and I was dying from tummy pains..) so anyways....30 mins later he finally leaves and I happily bomb the place and he decides to come back for his boxers or something.....I wished there was secret tunnel under the bed.....
