EPTUnfortunately, I haven't read many girl blogs to copy them and I'm not exactly looking for advice, but, screw it, it's my blog, I'll write about my man.
So, how did this fellow happen to meet me? Trolling me on the internet of course.
I had posted my "Nidalee Costume Creation" on the League of Legends forums and it became quite popular ( http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=1044447 ). He works for Riot, the company which runs League of Legends, and happens to be fairly active in their community and well-known for his trolling. I accepted most of the hundreds of friend requests I received in game and one of those just happened to be from him. That's where it all began.
He messaged me one day when I logged on about a different Nidalee costume, one that a woman wore to Gamescom. He linked me a picture of her and started complimenting it. I was a little miffed by this, so I guess his trolling worked, but I replied politely enough. One conversation lead to another and the next thing I know, I had been typing furiously in the League client chat for two hours.
He was insistent that I troll one of his friends at PAX and, refreshingly, didn't hit on me at all. In fact, we mostly just talked about various games, the gaming community and other random geeky things. When PAX came around, I tried my best to troll his friend and hung out with a bunch of the Riot crew. I had a great time, but I couldn't help feeling especially sad that my new friend wasn't there.
We talked a bit more and decided we should hang out, we were clearly easily compatible as friends and he wanted to show me around Riot HQ. So, the first day off I had at school, I hopped in my car and drove off to Santa Monica.
The parking garage was a little confusing (it had a locked gate in the middle of a floor!), so he walked down to meet me. Being blind, the first thing I noticed was his outfit. He dresses remarkably well, generally in slightly worn jeans and shirts similar to the Affliction style but much, much, much more subtle. Then I noticed his height, a surprising few inches taller than me (I'm 5'10-11, so that's quite uncommon). Finally, as he approached, I noticed how ridiculously handsome he was with the most natural smile spreading across his face as I got closer. Next thing I knew, I was in his arms and we were laughing and giggling like kids.
Thus far, we've had a number of adventures, from wandering around his workplace extremely intoxicated to going up to a music festival hidden in the mountains to kicking each other's asses in 1v1 League games.
Yet, in all of this time spent together, I've discovered something that I haven't ever seen in anyone else before; true companionship. His personality compliments mine and mine compliments his. We can go from a serious intellectual debate to rolling around in the grass, giggling like 5 year olds. I give him a little caution and he gives me more motivation to just go out and live.
Though we love such similar things, we have different interests which we can share with each other, too. Life suddenly feels so much more exciting. I used to spend all day trolling forums and playing games for entertainment, now I go out to find new things that I can share with him. My whole outlook on life has significantly changed.
Admittedly, the hour drive to visit him sucks and is impossible during the week, but I have three day weekends due to my school schedule and I am pretty sure I've booked all of them for the next three months with various activities with him.
So... don't expect many blogs. I'll write whenever something truly hilarious happens or when a new game comes out to review (and probably a review for Dominion). Other than that, enjoy your freedom from Riku harassment!
