Snowbird 0 #26 December 13, 2002 Long ago, in a galaxy far far away....Actually, we're high school sweethearts. We were both in a programme called Earthquest, kind of an alternative programme filled with outdoor survival and sports and stuff. I liked him, but he was a hound-dog and at first just went after the lookers. Then my girl-friend told him that I was hot for him (sound familiar Hol?) he asked me out, we became best friends, and the rest is history. 10 year wedding anniversary next summer.

I still want to see them call each other that infront of one of thier family. And don't think I won't be using that over manifest to call them next year...

Jessica 0 #31 December 13, 2002 QuoteOk.. is this a cross between snookums and pookie or what? Damn it to the very bowels of hell, doesn't anyone recognize a Calvin & Hobbes reference when they see one? Calvin: I'm never gonna get married. Are you? Hobbes: Hmm...I suppose if the right person came along, I might. Someone with green eyes and a nice laugh, who I could call 'Pooty Pie.' Calvin: POOTY PIE? Hobbes: Or Bitsy Pookums. Calvin: I think that would affect my stomach a lot more than my heart. Hobbes: 'Bitsy pookums' I'd say.

Jessica 0 #33 December 13, 2002 OK, I'll tell mine.... There was this mouthy freeflyer on dropzone.com I PM'd with sometimes. He wanted to come to Texas to jump while it was still cold up in Ohio. I offered him crash space, like I would any other skydiver. Wasn't no way I was getting romantically involved with some 21-year-old Yankee! Anyway, I wasn't even available -- I'd been dating someone I worked with for a couple of weeks. So I went to the airport to pick him up, and waited and waited and didn't see him disembark. I was afraid I'd missed him, so I started wandering around baggage claim looking for him. Then suddenly, I saw this tall, tie-dye-wearin', cute-faced guy, surrounded by luggage and a gear bag, looking around the terminal. "Oh shit," I thought. He was adorable. We didn't touch each other that whole visit, though we were spending every moment together and loving it. Then, on his last day here, we were joking about how I should adopt one of AirAnn's kittens, and he said suddenly, "Well, maybe Bob can help you take care of it." Bob was the guy I was seeing. I got quiet and said, "I haven't thought about Bob in a week." Then on the last jump that day, right before I had to take him to the airport, we did a 10,000-foot kiss pass, aaaaaand the rest is history.Skydiving is for cool people only Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggieDave 6 #37 December 13, 2002 I'm with Moody on this one, haven't found anyone, although I've dated around a LOT. What seems like a long time ago (met her nearly 6 years ago), I thought I had found my dream woman. Well, I think I did, she thought she'd met her dream guy too, but bit over 3 years after we met, we fell apart. Turns out now, I'm really glad that it did, so things seem to work out for the better in my life, even if I didn't think so at the time. Still looking, there's someone out there, she just hasn't been lucky enough to have met me yet...haha --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

FliegendeWolf 0 #39 December 13, 2002 I was at the Arbor Brewing Company, one of the three local brewpubs in Ann Arbor, enjoying one of their fine Old #22 German Alts at the weekly departmental happy hour. Ali comes in a bit later than the rest of us, and after the waitstaff changed shifts, so she was the only one of us that got carded. Unfortunately, she was the only one who was not yet of age. I said to her, "Man, what a bummer that you forgot your ID ... nobody else at the table got carded tonight." She basically blew me off (I still give her shit for blowing me off that night!

narcimund 0 #50 December 13, 2002 It was five years ago this month. A mutual friend introduced us. The strange thing is he did it so badly. He told me he had an old friend who was incredibly intelligent. His friend loved to spar with wit, to compete in argument, to joust with meaning and innuendo. His friend was intense, without mercy, always looking to volley well thought out dialogue, but out to win. His one passion was to find a worthy adversary. On the other hand, he told his friend that he knew a sweet, thoughtful friend. Kind and generous and gentle with a vulnerable heart. Always supportive to those in need, striving to offer a helpful hand to those willing to help themselves. Trustworthy and trusting. Believe it or not, our mutual friend was right on both counts. He could have switched sides and told the same story to the other person and he would have still been right. The problem is not that he was wrong, but that he told one part to me and the other part to my not-yet lover. So as you might guess our first meeting (and those that followed) were strange. I entered thinking I was being challenged to a philosophical battle to the death, while he thought he was meeting a safe and nurturing partner. He said, "Hi. It's nice to meet you." I replied, "Oh yeah? I know what you mean by that!" For several months we tried to play out what we expected of each other and each hurt the other in our misunderstanding. Neither was satisfied or impressed, but somehow we both could see there was a truth under the falsehood we were playing out. Then one day we came together and decided to start over. We chose to consciously drop what we'd been told and pretend nothing had yet happened. We began again with a fresh slate. Within a month of 8 hour conversations it was clear we were each other's best friend. Within a year we both found ourselves single and after it became obvious we couldn't deny it anymore, we became a couple. The next four years are a long involved story with a bottom line that we're in love more than ever and an excellent team. We own our house together, have built a business together, and have dreams we're building together for the long haul. We both believe in ourselves but believe in the team even more.
