NationStates Jolt Archive

Now, normally people post in NS General when they meet an NSer in real life, especially if this for romantic purposes. Why exactly, I am unsure, but people do this. So, anyhow, on the 6th of August, 2007, the player of Rejistania arrived in Israel. She left on the 16ths. We had good fun (she stayed at my house, in my room even), and took lots of pictures. And, best of all:

REJIS AGREED TO MARRY ME!!!

Pictures available here (http://www.ostan-collections.net/sike/israel)

Rejis on my bed, reading V. Suprynowicz’s book “Send in the Waco Killers” (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v42/allanea/Photos/rejisinmybed.jpg)

Yay!!! :D

wow! congradulations! :fluffle: :fluffle:

how long have you two known each other?

As odd as it sounds, my eyes glazed over that huge announcement until I did a doubletake. Congratulations, the pair of you, and I second Ruffy's motion!

wow! congradulations! :fluffle: :fluffle:

We've known each other for over 2 and a half years on NS, I think.

Open bar!!

What the guy atop me said!Also well done!:fluffle:

Well, if Ally links me reading libertarian books, I have to fight back :)

Allanea reading Le Guin (http://www.ostan-collections.net/sike/israel/028evilsocialistliterature.jpg)

Congrats! How many times have you met IRL?

I suppose I will have to retaliate by noting that Rejis didn't just 'read a Libertarian book'.

She joined the Free State Project.

(which is somehthing all of you should do).

Congrats! How many times have you met IRL?



This is the first time.

Congratulations!

Aww congratulations :)

Wow. And we had no idea. Sneaky bastards. Congratulations! :)

Heh, and I worked so hard in this forums for my reputation of being undecisive *mock-pout*

This is the first time.

And you are going to get married? Shouldn't you at least live together for a bit, first?

So where are you going to live? Israel? Germany? Somewhere else entirely?

Wow. And we had no idea. Sneaky bastards. Congratulations! :)
That is what you get for staying off the IRC *grins*

Who goes there? Meaning I don't even know how it works. <<

Seeing we both are in the Free state project probably in the states - provided it all works out.

Seeing how I have no clue what the Free State Project is - are we talking the United States here?

I've gone a few times.

SO why didn't you tell us that people were secretly getting married?

Wow. Congrats. Hope you two have a good time being married, or at least a good wedding. :p

Nevermind, I googled it. New Hampshire then?

IRC is scary! its all fast and.... weird!

A lot of people go there. For a start go to http://www.esper.net and click on Chat now, then /join #nationstates_general . Sometimes the chat IS stagnating, especially in the morning in our time CET

SO why didn't you tell us that people were secretly getting married?

Because I can't follow the conversations at all. It seemed like all they talked about was teaching and grading papers.

There ya got me in :)

Congratulations to you both.

You shouldn't be doing that with somebody else. You're married. :p

It is a room in which a lot of different people meet and talk about a lot of topics. Sometimes about grades, sometimes about nerdy stuff, sometimes just fooling around ;> Allanea and I met in a discussion about nerdy stuff. I just installed Skype and needed someone to test it with.

You shouldn't be doing that with somebody else. You're married. :p
I do not want to flirt but to geek out with someone. :p

I do not want to flirt but to geek out with someone. :p

We do have that tendency dont we lol

Awesome! Congratulations, and I wish you both good fortunes ahead in all of your endeavours.

I do not want to flirt but to geek out with someone. :p

That remark was just humorous in intent. I know a girl at school who always flirts (even with me sometimes) especially with one guy, so I'm not too bad (read: a little better than horrendous) at making such quips. And I wouldn't know, I don't geek out that much because I'm only part nerd.

Congrats and good luck in life to you both.:D

All this from a book and skype.. Amazing.

Actually... I think he had a discussion about pacifism in query earlier, but I am but sure...

Even me?

Yes.

Congrats!

Utterly bizarre, I've RPed with both Rejistania and Allanea not knowing they were dating :p

People meet in this way all the time. I met my wife on a beach. I saw her laying out with one of her friends in a bikini and thought to myself "damn" and went and talked to her. Ended up spending the rest of the afternoon talking with her and we ultimately married 3 years later. Sometimes simple actions can lead to major changes in ones life.

And you are going to get married? Shouldn't you at least live together for a bit, first?

oh, hush.

They have known each other longer than hubby and I did before we got married, and we have been married happily a long time.


when you find the one you find the one.

Congrats guys! You two look like a good couple!

Wow, congratulations guys :)

I am also in the camp of not knowing how people get to know each other so easily through internet mediums, I only generally feel I really know people I've met in person.

Well I think in these type of situations most people get to know each other via the internet and then decide to meet in person. When they meet in person is when they verify what they know or they find the opposite. Then is when they decide that is the one or not. I highly doubt anyone has truly decided without meeting face to face.

Not being in the IRC apparently pays off here :p

Aww, congrats! :D

May I be the first to say Bowchikawowow. (http://www.passiononline.co.uk/shop/images/spinning-swing.jpg) Congratulations.

This device seems strangely awesome.

So where's Rejistallanea going appear? :D

Holy shit! I call NSer meetup at your wedding!

Indeed, I've just never felt I know someone on the internet well enough to meet in person.

OMG AWESOMES!!!!111one

Congratulations!

QFT. Met IRL 10 days ago and you're engaged? As detached as I am from the whole dating thing, that seems alarmingly quick. Good luck but, anyway.

I think we knew each other, as people for a looong time, what with all the IRC chitchat and long phone conversation.

The ten days were just confirmation... and some fun was had by all, as well.

gosh!...

congrats! :)

REJIS AGREED TO MARRY ME!!!

Imprudent, but best of luck. You will be needing it.

Good luck.:D

Glad to see that things worked out, what with travel clearances and all. Good luck, you two, and congratulations!

/me throws wedding trout at Rejistania and Allanea.

Goober, there is no need for travel clearances to go back and forth between EU nations and Israel. All you need is a passport.

Great! When's the wedding?

I'd join the FSP, but South Carolina needs freedom-lovers a lot more than NH. We just passed an anti-gay marriage amendment with 88% of the vote. :mad:

So you two are going to become Americans. Good for you. Contrary to popular belief, we aren't all ignorant, insular conservatives who think that anything pro-weed is Marxist.

Congrats Allanea and Rejis. Having just gotten married a month ago myself, I can confidentally advise that it (a) doesn't hurt, and (b) doesn't take away anything you will need later on. :D Cheers

Congrats + good luck with FSP, Boris/Rejis.

Congratulations.

We'll be hungering and waiting for MORE pictures.

In NH, the freedom-lovers can help more. By the way, are you part of the R3VOlution yet?

Mazel Tov! :D

Might consider moving after I finish graduate school, and... :confused:

Imprudent, but best of luck. You will be needing it.

My thoughts precisely. I've always felt the person you talk to on the phone/through the internet is completely different than in real life.

I don't know, me and Roan are still married after two years.

Anyway, a big congrats to you two from NSGs first married couple! We wish you all the best.

Holy shit :eek:

Woohoo

Congradulations!!!! :D

:fluffle:

My thoughts precisely. I've always felt the person you talk to on the phone/through the internet is completely different than in real life.

But they did meet in real life... Why are so many people putting this down? Meeting online isn't exactly the definition of a bad relationship...

Either way, congratulations both of you.

As odd as it sounds, my eyes glazed over that huge announcement until I did a doubletake. Congratulations, the pair of you, and I second Ruffy's motion!

Open bar!!

Are things out of order again? :headbang:

But they did meet in real life... Why are so many people putting this down? Meeting online isn't exactly the definition of a bad relationship...

Either way, congratulations both of you.

because misery loves company. I can be happy for them because I am happy in my relationship, if I weren't in a happy relationship I would be jealous and thus bitchy.

Again guys, congrats! I wish you all the best!!

Clearly it is better to meet your life long partner in a bar when you are shit faced. You wake up in the morning to the love of your life. How is online dating better then that?!

I don't know, I met my husband at the bowling alley, and married him like 2 months later.

Surely our marriage is doomed!!!!!!!!

DOOOMED!!!!!!!! :D










Whatever works is what I say. You know when you know.

I was thinking more the unofficial kind, but whatever. >_<

Hmm, I'm hopelessly single and happy for them. Does this make me horribly confused or just kind of weird? ;)

Of course, anybody that knows me knows that I'm kind of weird already....
