Belated congratulations from me too!! Ganz herzliche Glückwünsche!
I have shamefully neglected the BD (and LJ) of late, so it's only today that I noticed this spectacular news! Well, if I remember rightly, it was originally me who brought your attention to the BarrowDowns long ago, Macalaure. Who would have thought that this would have such consequences!

Well done
Let us hope that nothing comes about to ruin your lives.
Thanks, Alien... Thalien.

This is almost an epidemic....
I suppose congratulations are in order, though the dour pessimist in me suggests that condolences might be better, but we shall ignore him and go with the congratulations. Shall we, like Bilbo's party guests, be receiving invitations so magnificent in gold ink that we shall feel like utter boors for being unable to cross the Atlantic for the occasion, or would the possibility of turning the wedding into a 'Downer reunion be a little untoward?

Perhaps an addition should be made to the FAQ/ Forum guidelines that it isn't compulsory for the unattached to choose a fellow downer as a life partner ...they are allowed to look further afield ... or indeed remain single.

Hmm... wasp-flavoured wedding cake, anyone?
Am I the only one who thinks that sounds delicious? After all, wasps are very bright, and we all know that bright things are pumped full of sugary sweetness... (or poison, but far less often). |

Although possibly SpM could consider adding something to the Werewolf FAQ. Congrats, folks, and may RT be as fun as VT.

I wasn't being serious BB... of course I may change my attitude if the forum becomes as full of "smug married" couples as a Bridget Jonesian dinner party ... now if you excuse me there is chardonnay to be drunk and self-help books to be read

I thought I'd just add this: the very first time I interacted with Mac here - in a WW game last October - I distinctly remember saying to myself: "there's just something about this Macalaure...person. I think I could develop a crush on him/her if I'm not careful...let's hope it's an adult male..." |

Heh. I'm amused. I'm still waiting for the phantom to tell me he's either old and fat or fifteen and pimplier than normal.

Dearie me, I wasn't either Mith. I think WW is still popular enough that its secondary enticements don't need to be acknowledged.

Well as far as the WW games go ....
How about a warning like on cigarette packets :
"Playing werewolf could seriously alter your marital status" And it could mean a new response to the "Why aren't you married?" question.. :Because underneath my clothes my entire body is covered with a were-wolf's pelt ......

Well, I doubt very highly anyone's idea of fun is spying on a couple of geeks arguing about which film should be made from the Silmarillion first.
Although I could be wrong. EDIT: This is regarding the "Uncontrolled Skype", not the passwords... Last edited by Rikae; 08-26-2007 at 12:28 PM. |

This is interesting, it could reveal things about our personalities. Rikae is attracted by someone's game play, I am attracted by someone's intimidating knowledge and debating style...What does this say about the things which really do attract women to men?

Sorry I'm a little late, but I have to give my congragulations! It was fate that determined your meeting, macalure and rikae, not coincidence.
