I to found my partner on IRC, back in the early 2000s, I entered the chat with a horrible user name about David Bowie and yet he still chatted to me. Decided then he was a keeper!

Love in the time of the internet: A personal memoir

Society can be slightly slow on the uptake at times.
Met my husband online around 2003/2004, via an IRC chat room linked to a gaming webcomic. Due to distance we didn't actually meet up in person until 2006. It took another three or four years after that for friends/family to start meeting their other halves online (re: the Failbook) and for it to be acceptable in our community.

If games lead to doom...
If one were to say violent games were the leading cause of violent actions than my steam game list must mean I am far from the mild mannered Canadian that I say I am.
Bioshock 1 & 2, Crysis 1, 2, Warhead, Wars, Darksiders 1 and 2, Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War + every expansion, Fallout 1 through 3 plus New Vegas, Doom 1 through 3 plus the lost missions and the list goes on and on.
Oh dear God...why won't someone stop me!?!
Oh wait, it's because I'm a fully functioning member of the public.
