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.)
P.S I love my girlfriend!
