Hey, Lindsey got hers yesterday!

ultraforge January 23 2006, 22:55:03 UTC

Really? Where's she going, Austin?

sporks5000 January 23 2006, 23:05:00 UTC

Germany for about five months. For study abroad.

I could have plausibly started down the road toward mine by now, except for the large cash bribes expected at every step of the process. Well, they call them "filing fees" and "paperwork charges" and other such things, but they amount, essentially, to the same thing.

I know. I payed those official bribes your talking about to "expedite" the process and keep it from taking six weeks.

Are you really going to China? (I probably missed something since I haven't been on your f-list very long.) That's so cool. I love to travel. I've never been to Asia, though. I've been all over Europe, lived there three times: Turkey, France and Germany.

ultraforge January 24 2006, 02:18:03 UTC

Yes, I'm going to China. That's where my fianceé is from. We're going to be married there.It's been in the works for a very long time.

Congratulations! I didn't know.

I'm so happy for you :-)

Thanks, Bee! The next step is getting a visa from the Chinese consualte in Chicago.

Hopefully, they have no idea of the things I've said about their government. ;)

Rock on!

ultraforge January 24 2006, 04:02:01 UTC

Hell, yeah! All I need now is that visa to go with it!

i am interested in the story of how you met your lovely soon to be wife.

ultraforge January 25 2006, 00:26:08 UTC

Oddly enough, I met her in an ICQ chatroom. We started out as friends but over time it became clear that she very different from all the other women I'd been with. I eventually asked her to marry me and she said yes. :)

ICQ! i didn't know people still used that. so it's an internet relationship. and a loooooooong distance one at that. i complain because my boyfriend lives in ohio and i rarely get to see him; i couldn't imagine what it would be like if my love was halfway across the globe.

congratulations to you and i pray blessings and happiness on your marriage!

ultraforge January 25 2006, 23:21:56 UTC

ICQ! i didn't know people still used that.

Well, I don't use it anymore, myself. I was just trying it out to see if I liked it. I was even about to quit using it when I met her. If she'd waited a week or two longer...I would never have met her at all.
