Hello everyone.
Okay so basically noone here knows who I am, I've been lurking TL every day for years but I don't post very much.
However. Today was an amaaaaazing day so I decided to start my blog and share my amazing happiness. 
My name is Markus, I'm Swedish, I study korean at univeristy and I've been playing Starcraft on and off since the game was released.
And ever since I found out about the korean pro scene a couple of years ago, I've been totaly in love with it and watching it every chance I get.
Today something craaaazy happened. Basically I found out that my birthday gift for this winter (when I go to Korea) is a signature from none other then.... The Emperor himself! Lim Yo Hwan! SlayerS_BoxeR!
Now you're probably wondering how this happened and to explain that, I have to go back in time for a bit.
So basically... you could say this started about 4.5 month ago.
It was right at the start of June, I had just finished high school and was going to start studying Korean at Stockholm University. (because of my love for BW,KPOP and korean food)
One night when I came home from a party, I was bored and so was my brother.
So we decided to mess around on a korean website and after a while we ran into this girl that was really funny and cute and we kind of just messed around with her, but after a few hours I ended up trading my email adress with her.
Little did I know then. That this girl was amazing! and we would fall in love! and she would get me Boxer's Signature.
The next few weeks. We talked every day, as much as we could (not enough because of how hard koreans study T_T)
But we ended up becoming closer and closer every day.
And until this day, 4.5 months later, we have talked almost every day and we are now in love and I will visit her in korea over christmas, and right after that. She will come with me to sweden (on my flight home) and visit me.
Since I start feeling that this blog is becoming too long now, I'll try my best to wrap this up.
Basically every day these 4.5 months since I met her, has been amazing and today she did the most incredible thing in the world.
After she quit school today, she went to the Gomtv studio to try and get Boxer's signature (which she wants to give me for late birthday present when I visit her).
She hurried from her school to the studio (because she thought he would play at 7pm, but apparently he played last)
So she had to wait for 3-4 hours to finally get a chance to see him after his games.
And maybe I didn't mention this but, she has no interest at all in Starcraft or e-sport and also she had a midterm presentation to prepare for tomorrow.
So basically she only did this for me, and suffered those endless hours of sweaty nerds watching and cheering at computer screens, just for me.
As fellow Boxer and Starcraft fans, you can understand my shock and amaazing happiness, when I came home from what I thought would be a normal day.
But when I got home and called her on skype, she held up a sign that said: " Happy Birthday! SlayerS_BoxeR , Lim Yo Hwan. To Markus, 2010/11/11 "
So... I guess that's about it.. I don't know if this story is interesting to anyone but. I just felt like i had to share this story about My hapiness, My amazing girlfriend and My boxer signature.
I hope one day you will all get a chance like this to get a hold of the emperors signature
(I will try to upload a picture below.)

That's basically the greatest ever. She's a keeper!

That's amazing. You are one lucky dude. Best of luck with your girl too.
On a side note, Boxer's signature looks really cool too. He must have had to practice that a lot.

Front-paged for her affection for you, and you being so proud of her? Definitely a keeper the both of you. We want to hear from you when you two get hitched!

i think you dont know just how awesome she is
lookit she can effin TIME TRAVEL!!!
|
Nice one !
But she's still the one who met the emperor, not you. 
I wish you to be able to meet him at the GSL 3 or 4 when you will be in Korea !
|
VERY cool!
Seems like you got two keepers there - both the kick ass girlfriend and the sweet ass sig!

Was a great blog, though. Thanks for sharing, Markus! Hope it goes well for you two =P

Oh man, that is such an amazing story (really gives me hope that I'll find someone just as awesome someday)!
Congrats man, you sir, are one of the luckiest people in the world!

Thanks sooo much again for all your nice comments
I'm just so happy now and so is she.
Basically... its 5:45 am now in Sweden, so I kind of have to sleep a few hours now.
But I just couldn't stop thanking her soo much and checking up on this thread.
However she left for school now so I'll try to get a few hours of sleep.
Anyway.. i just wanted to thank you guys again and if you found this interesting, I could try to blog som more in the future.. but I ususally don't do it unless I find something really juciy to talk about
I think she took alot of pictures from the studio ( boxer and his gf, korean casters, and I think she took a picture together with artosis) I'll see if she can send them to me and maybe I can find somewhere to upload them.
But if you're interested in the future, I'll definately blog again when i visit her in korea
Have a nice day/night depending on where you live
And btw. yea the reason the sign says " 2010 11 11 " is because my birthday is 11th november
|
Like, most brag blogs don't make me jealous.
But this one, woah, oh my god, I am so insanely jealous.
Congrats man, and happy birthday. Absolutely awesome.
|
Wow dude! I know you're probably not even thinking about it, but you could probably sell that thing for mad money.
This girl on webcam sold a pair of her panties that had been inside her for like 400$ the other day. I understand the male sexuality market is a tad bigger than the starcraft nerd market, but I don't think something like 150 bucks is totally out of the realm of possibility.
|
|
|
Wow
thats just
wow
lucky, lucky man
|
Awesome story. It's amazing that you two are so committed even though she lives on the other side of the world. Happy birthday indeed!
|
thats cool and all (your girlfriend is amazing),
but honestly I don't really see whats so great about a signature
it's just a signature lol
if you got to go out for dinner with him or something, that would really be a HELL YEAH kind of thing imo

What about that is not amazing? Everything to do with boxer is AMAZING.

I would get a frame for that, hang it above my computer screen and switch to terran.
|
This put a smile on my face; sick lyfe
|
fark dude, thats amazing!!!
|
LK:AJFKSADJfjsdlfkjasdfjoIJZFSDklJASDLF!!!!!!
Wow, that was awesome! She went through all that stuff she really doesn't know and gets his signature for you. Now you have the signature of an awesome legend, and the most amazing girl in love with you...
My heart is pouring tears of joy for you!
|
Make sure you propose to her this Xmas

I guess I just have difficulty understanding true fandom.
I can see why you would like that famous person and want to know more about them, but not to the extent where even something of zero significance (a signature for nothing) makes you super satisfied.

very very cool! I'm happy for you man, enjoy your merchandise and new girlfriend!

This put a huge smile on my face.
But now I'm worried for you - what are you going to give her for her birthday that can even match the awesomeness of Boxer's signature?
|
Who the hell cares? lol a signature wow did u get it for the money so you can sell it back? Then i understand you but this almost sound like a fail to be so happy over this. Be happy when you go pro instead if you ever go.
And btw no offence mean by this just dont see the logical of all this exepct that you sound like a girl who got a boyband autograph.
User was temp banned for this post.

Make a marble shrine dedicated to her.
This wont out do The Emperors signature, but she wont know that

Only a nerd would understand this, and since we are all nerds, damn you lucky
|

Both the gf and the sig are definitely a keeper! You young lucky man!

You pretty much have to give her your left kidney for her next birthday, but then you're fucked for the next anniversary.

THAT is a true gamer girl.
|
Oh man... I wish my girlfriend was this awesome! She can barely keep track of what the names of the races are... let alone my favorite SC(1 and 2) players. I hope you know just how amazing she is. My dad got a book signed by Daniel Negreanu, and that is the closest I have to something that awesome. Treasure it, always. You hold pure awesomeness in the palm of your hand, my friend.
|
Normally I look down on long distance relationships formed over the internet. But this is just so amazing I do not how to respond to this. You lucky bastard.
|

That's a wonderful story I hope you keep cherishing her as long, as you will keep the signature.

Hi I just got my BoxeR signature at blizzcon, I might as well pile them into here rather than start a new thread:
![[image loading]](http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs454.ash2/72763_1701082806783_1229319285_1956415_381916_n.jpg)
BoxeR is on the top right, Also signed by day9, tasteless,artosis,TLO,HD,PainUser,White Ra, Huk, fruitDealer, NEXGenius, JP, Nazgul
Huge thanks to everyone That helped me out covering the back of his thing!
For those who haven't seen it, here is the front license plate: (Now with Chris Sigaty!)
+ Show Spoiler +
Obligitory fanboy photo:

After meeting him I blacked out for about 2 hours and woke up screaming "ESPORTS" in the center isle of the RTS stage half way through game 2 of whitera vs. dimaga.
EDIT: I had blue painters tape covering the top right of the plate with "reserved for boxer" written on it, he laughed when he saw that, so that means automatic bro status right?
