She's buying me these shirts from offworlddesign.com :D She's not even a gamer, and yet she likes these.

LMAO. Nice!

My husband got me this shirt for Mother's Day ...

It says "the cake is a lie" along the outside, and then at the very end, in the front on the bottom "but our love is not".

He also got me a Companion Cube for Valentine's Day.

It's good to get nerd presents! :D

That's really sweet. Once I see her tomorrow, I'm gonna try to take her out to Transformers 2, and a dinner after that. I haven't been this serious in a relationship for what seems like forever.

Are you converting her into one?

I had her come on here to check out the products, and she was reading some of the stuff. She says it's too confuzzling for her. I'll leave it at that. Gaming to me is the same like going out with the guys, and drinking some beers. I like to have my alone time every now, and then.

With some of my friends "going out with the guys" means hanging out with female friends and not the guys. But that might just be because of some of the people I hang out with.

It's from www.sharkrobot.com

I sleep with my Companion Cube (it's plush and 6" x 6" x 6"). He left like 3 days after Valentine's Day, so it was even more appropriate - he gave me a companion while he was gone.

... man, I miss him ...

Is he in the military? If so, how many tours has he done?

Yes, he's in the army. This is his second deployment.

Army deploys for a year, so coming spring. That's about as specific as it gets, though, as it's always a rough estimate.

Which sucks.

Big time.

Nice of her to indulge your inner geek like that. Good girl, there.

I've seen those at the OffWorld booth @ Gencon '06 & '08 IIRC. Got the zombie/recycling one, "Reduce, Reuse, Reanimate...Necromancy: Helping combat the funeral industrial complex" or something to that effect.

$.05's worth of free advice: take her to see another movie for your date. Did the dinner & a movie thing on the 4th (rain & fireworks don't mix) @ Clauddaugh and saw "Up", not a bad night out. "Public Enemies" looks promising (never saw a bad Johnny Depp film yet [save "Cry Baby"]). Can't miss.

Thanks - I do appreciate the sentiment, but I have to say it takes all kinds. Some people function better at it, but I don't want to seem like I think I'm better than anyone else because of it.

I'm better than everyone else for a whole slew of other reasons. ;)

They've started giving military wives psionic powers? That's so cool.

Nah, I had them before my husband joined. Most of them are sans powers.

Why? Shouldn't the military support military families by giving military wives psionics? Someone needs to hold down the fort and hold it down good.

I'd rather not be a member of a military psionic force, thank you. ;)

I know that ya goose. Hell, I've even used the term on occasion here at these very boards myself. It was just to good to pass up. Or too bad. Whatever. It was too something. And who can resist something so too? Certainly not I. I am sans self control when it comes down to too. :P

That sounds alot like an accusation of rampant infidielity between army wives and non-deployed troops in Alaska, KGM. (Supid Euphimisims, or however you spell that ****.)


@ ZB: Dosn't San miss you when your busy posting?

... wow, you read that differently from how I intended.

I was alluding to the lack of support from the military for the wives, which is something I really need to not get into.

But I was in no way referring to infidelity on anyone's part.

*sigh*

I said "play the 'straight man'", which means I pretend to be one, like when I play a dragonborn Wizard or tiefling Warlock. :P
