How to Tell If She's "The One"

happyjosiah · #1 May 1st, 2007, 03:03 PM

So I am getting married in 54 days. Pretty exciting stuff. Anyway, on Sunday she had her bridal shower and got all kinds of good stuff and she was really excited. One of those things was a gift card to target. Later that day I am in the car, and I get a call from her:
"Hey, I'm at Target and I'm looking at the Heroscape stuff and I see a couple packs I think you don't have, do you want them?"
"Um.... yes? Wait. Are you spending your gift card?"
"Yeah, well I feel bad for you because I got all this kitchen stuff and towels and things like that and that's not that exciting for you."
"I do actually use towels, you know. And the kitchen stuff sort of benefits me too considering how well you cook. And I shouldn't have to explain how the lingerie you got benefits me..."
"Shut up. Well, I'm getting them for you."
"Awesome. I love you so much."
"I love you too"

Later that day, I'm back at school (my last finals week EVER), and I said to my roommates, "You know, she buys me plastic zombies. If that's not love, I don't know what is."

So yay, I finally get some wave 6 stuff, and I also get to give you unmarried people a little bit of advice on choosing that special someone.

Niiiice.

I don't know if your fiance plays heroscape much, but mine doesn't. Since it is so rare every time I hear her say something like Heroes of Laur, or Zombies of Morindan, its totally awesome. And sexy.

I'm a nerd, aren't I?

Enjoy your days of youth and rose colored glasses HJ. She certainly sounds like a keeper to me. Save this story in your mind and it will see you to your 50th anniversary and beyond.

Oh and yagyuninja...you are not only a nerd you are bordering on dork status. :P

Congratulations in advance! I actually got married about 30 days ago myself to great girl of my own. I can't tell you how much it helps to have a partner who understands, encourages, and shares in your hobbies. Consider yourself extremely fortunate to have found someone who accepts you with your less popular interests in tow. It certainly makes it easier to spend quality time together without frustrating one or the other (this week we've spent several late nights playing the new Pokemon games together

). Good luck, and keep these sort of things close in mind so that you don't take them for granted.

And, like a proud parent forcing baby pictures down people's throat, here's a photo she took for me on our honeymoon:

Unfortunately, now she's just mad it didn't get a better response in the traveling Drake thread.

Haha, it would be easier for me to convince my wife to climb Everest than to get her to play a game of Heroscape with me.

She gets all mad when I come home from the store with an new load of 'scape stuff. But I love her anyway, even though she thinks I'm crazy!

That is awesome, HJ.

54 days left? Wow... right around the corner!

Wow! You sure were excited on your wedding night. Please don't post any more phallic photos, 'kay?

My girlfriend and I play heroscape quite a bit. Were not at the getting married point or anything, but it is nice. We only started dating a couple months ago, but we had been hanging out every weekend and playing heroscape for the 6 months prior to it. It has been a very pleasant relationship so far and I hope it keeps going that way. Congratulations happyjosiah.

Exactly!

That would make a great signature line.

Congrats, man. She sounds like a keeper.

I'm getting married in 60 days. Mine won't play Heroscape with me and has never bought me any either. She doesn't object to me buying figures quite often, though. What do you think? Should I hold out for wierd gamer chick?

Phloid_and_D-Man · #12 May 1st, 2007, 04:42 PM

OMG! I'M GETTING MARRIED IN 60 DAYS! WHAT THE HECK AM I THINKING! AM I CRAZY! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Sorry, that was just the realization that the day is so close. 60 days! Where did the time go? I'm sure I'll have a few more moments like that in the next two months. Nothing that getting some new Heroscape won't help to take my mind off. I'm better now.
