Signal Boost: NZ - Christchurch donations

yuuago posted: NZ - Christchurch donations

* The New Zealand Islamic Information Centre is running a campaign via Launchgood to raise funds for the victims of the Christchurch attack.

* There is also a different campaign run by NZ Council of Victim Support, via NZ-based crowdfunding site Givealittle. The site seems to be having issues right now, probably because of so many people accessing it.

How I met your father

Rogan of lb_lee asked:

How did you meet your hubs?

By being a geek on the internet 😂 No seriously, I met Mark through tabletop roleplaying. We were friends for years online, both of us blogging about roleplaying, playing roleplaying games and boardgames together, and chatting a lot on MSN Messenger (yes, it existed back then).

Mark developed a crush on me at some point, despite not even having seen me other than a not-so-high-quality photograph shared online at one point. I guess I should have gotten the message when he said I looked pretty in a photo where I wasn't in very good focus and wasn't dressed up in any way! But yeah, he occasionally dropped hints about his feelings and I was starting to get my suspicions.

( Confessions, kissing, and marriage, oh my! )
