Australia huh?, Warp 9 Mr. worf

So, I know I havent been around lately, um correction at some point in the spam time line I disappeared for a very long time with only surfacing here and there. For some of you that know, I went to play a MMORPG. I still logged on and stuff here but it wasnt til I met Megan that I completely just stop doing anything and become consumed spending whatever time I could with her, even if it was electronically

Megan lives in Australia so anyone who can do the time conversion in their head will know that I basically went from being a day person to a creature of the night basically by the time you woke up, I was heading to bed and waking up toward the evening to go to work. Its a whole new life style change but I did it just to I could be with her more.

Funny enough, Megan rejected me like 3 times I think more than anything her saying no to me was a turn on and I had to have her Well now we are engaged It wasnt the best preposal nor was it in the best conditions, lets just say I got on one knee and asked her..........in game To this day I never thought Id do something like that, I use to joke about online marriages , ppl meeting online and then getting married, thats absurd! ................ya

Well one of the reasons megan told me no was she never thought it would work out, we live worlds apart and who is crazy enough to move down there or w/e and be with a woman they really dont know. Well I told her I would, and after all the planning and getting things together, the has finally come.

Today, is my last day in America, come Saturday evening Ill be lifting off and heading for my new home. Atm the visa is only granting me 1 year, somewhere in between we are planning to switch that over to a permenant visa, if things dont go planned ill probably have to come back in a year and reapply for another one. Im hoping it wont come down to that. 20 hour flights dont sound fun.

Im sorry to everyone here that I wasnt on as much as I wanted/used to be like before, i hope everyone could understand that. Being on line when you guys were all asleep was kinda lonely Once I get to australia I can probably be on more too Just dont expect too much since it still going to be late

Well I wanted you guys to know, get your blessings and stuff, if you dont hear from me in a few weeks, well atleast I made it half way there I guess

I dont really know what more to say im very nervous, leaving everything and everyone behind is a pretty big leap for me. Yea I know I can always visit everyone but idk its not like they are just right down the street or a couple of cities away. Talk about a fresh new start huh

Well, Ill talk to you guys in a few days and stuff, sorry if this came off a bit over dramatic or I made too much of a big deal of it, for me it is and I wanted to share it with you guys, see ya in a few days


PS I used the word "well" too much

PSS: Megan said to drink lots of water and go to the restroom regularly to keep my kidneys extra clean and in good condition, shall I be afraid?

"Holy shit" is the only comment that comes to mind.

Best of luck, I guess. I know the feeling of knowing you'd do anything for someone. Granted, I've never done so. Nor been inclined to do so for anyone I've met over the internet but I'm not one to judge. Much.

As for kidneys... all I can say is that Australians are all criminals. Just sayin'.

EDIT: Apparently it is your birthday. Not gonna congratulate you, though. I'm a dick that way.

Wow. Congratulations and happy birthday.

Slade, just gotta say... way to way overplay the card. I mean you're only getting married and moving half of the world away. Big deal, I went to the grocery store this morning. See, it's like we're living parallel lives.

Seriously, congratulations!!! This sounds awesome and scary and awesome. And awesome.

As for drinking... if she meant just for the trip over, I have to completely agree. I've taken several flights to Asia, and the air in the planes is extremely dry. You want to drink water the entire time or you'll get done with the trip as a shriveled little prune.

I'm confused though. 'Megan' sounds like a girl's name, but since you met Megan online, he must be a guy. Everyone knows there aren't any girls on the internet.

Good luck with everything, and don't be a stranger!

*squeal* SLADE!!!!! That is such exciting news!! I'm sooo happy for you, and I hope everything works out just like you plan!!


Oh, and happy birthday!! What a great way to celebrate!!!

I agree with Darzog, I had no idea you were gay. I'll try to get you a back hair trimmer for Christmas.

Seriously though, good luck man, you'll need it. Everyone needs to do something crazy with their lives at some point. Just make sure you make this thing work or else when you get back your friends and family will probably make a phone call and get you a new white coat with extra long sleeves.

Have fun in Aussie land and don't actually drink Fosters or you'll look like a tourist.

Yes, yes, I am actually a man.

...All I can say is good luck. Having a friend that lives between here and Australia, I could say how hard it is- but there is a difference. She doesn't have anything really holding her there anymore or making her happy.

You'll like Australia and I hope Megan is a girl.

DO YOU HAVE A RING????? If so, post pics. Like now.

CONGRATSS~!!!!! That's such awesome news~!!!! I am happy I decided to check up on this place today.

I agree with Yas....pics of a ring are def a necessity, sir~!!!

Tee hee wedding news excites me so much oddly enough (being that the idea of myself in the situation creeps me out to no end, but I love hearing about it for other people.... what contradictory feelings.)

Picking up and moving to another country for someone is so cute.

Oooooooooopsiiiiiiiiie~!!!! ^ That's me...Tsu. Though....I'm sure the smilies gave it away....

Well you don't mess about, do you? No word for ages and then all this in one shot.

I wish you all you wish for yourself Slade. Congratulations on your birthday and your engagement and your move and everything

Keep us posted: we absolutely need vicarious adventure!

It seems I'm too late for the "She's probably a man" jokes, so I'll just say congratulations and best of luck.

Wait until you get the status of Daddy.

This prestige class is like being some sort of necromancer's dream. I don't eat, I don't sleep, I wander around in a daze, grumble and moan a lot and am like a zombie at work. =P

Congratulations, Slade! Welcome to the other side of the fence. ;D I hope all goes well.

Wow, Ogma, congrats to you, too!! A baby...boy or girl?

Boy. Luckily he takes after Mommy. Was a big one too, 8 pounds 11 ounces! Or better known as 11 ouches for the wife. =P

Of course, we're already pregnant again, and we're far along enough now to know that it's going to be a set of twins!

The wife wants like six kids. Given she has to do the work I've totally ceded control of the matter, lol! She's a vet and I'm working towards being one, and we've both been saving for years, so hopefully we won't be crunched financially.

I find this choice of wording humorous but nevertheless congratulations to you too.
