Me Sun, or the other Sun? I always do a double take.
My favorite book is The Neverending Story. If I could live in Fantasia (or Fantastica, depending on the book or movie), I'd give up this one in a heartbeat.
But my favorite book series is by W. Michael Gear and Kathleen O'Neil Gear, the First North American series, or something like that. There are around 18 in the series right now about different native american tribes/cultures. The authros are anthropoligists and archeologists, so they write fiction stories based on their findings, weaving in magic elements and whatnot. The books are fascinating andmost of the covers are done by Luis Royo, one of my favorite artists.
I also love the Clan of the Cave Bear series by Jean Auel.

a) I love my e-ring and wedding ring - I picked them out They're different, and I like that.
b) I met J in a chat room I was modding, and he had some lame cheesy line like "you're a cutie," or something like that. Neither of us remember it. The gal I was talking to - we were in a PM and we were laughing about it. He came around a couple of times, and we moved to MSN chat (she thought I was crazy, because we thought he was nutty. His photo was of his KTM motorcycle). Other girls were pouncing on him, too. It was just all around nuts. When it was just one on one, he was much more normal and easier to talk to. He called me one night, and we talked for a while, and eventually he asked if he could come meet me and bring his dirt bike and go ride some trails he'd read about. I was still a little concerned about him being a nutcase, so I asked what he'd do if we didn't like each other, and he said he had no doubt he'd like me, but if I didn't like him, he'd find a hotel and still go dirt bike riding for the week. No harm, no foul.
So, after 2 months of talking, he drove from Iowa to NC to meet me and had flowers delivered before he arrived. He rode a couple of days, and the one day I had off, my principal decided we had mandatory training, so he came and had lunch with about 12 coworkers, and was right at home (he'd met 3 of them already). I went there for Christmas, we spent Spring Break together, and he asked me to move out there (here) when school got out. We were engaged less than a year later, and married 18 months later, ALMOST 2 years to the time we met.
Oh - PS: I was divorced, and enjoying (mostly) dating again when I met him, and he was a bachelor. I found myself a 41 year old never married man! Of course, that means he's been hard to train...

I had such a crush on Atreyu as a kid. From the first movie, not so much the second, although, yeah, him too I guess.
And I still have plans to one day own a horse named Artax.

A mutual friend introduced us at a documentary short film festival. We met outside while we were all in line.

So, yeah, after that beginning it took him a few months to convince me that we should start dating
We first hooked up the night before I moved out of my apt. I'd been drinking a ton of champagne and he came over for a while but nothing happened. He left at like 3am and I texted him "You missed your shot at kissing me". I got in the shower because I was super nasty from packing and ended up cutting the hell out of my legs shaving. He came right back, we made out all night (with some stops to make fun of how covered in blood I was by that point) and then 2 weeks later I finally agreed to go on a real date with him.

What would he say drives him bats about you? How do you cope with it? Posted by ohwhynot[/QUOTE]
Hmmm. I would have to say that it's his habit of leaving cabinet doors open. I don't know why it drives me crazy, but it does. His mom does it too, so I know he gets it from her. And he's actually really improved since I started bitching at him about it. :) And I would say that the thing that drives him the craziest about me is the fact that I don't really like to talk a lot. Also, the bitching about the cabinets probably drives him insane.
ETA: we cope with it by making each other laugh. No matter how pissy we get, we know we can always turn it around with some humor. I love us for that.
About rings: I love my engagement ring and broke up with my wedding band.
How we met: We went to the same high school and dated for three weeks while I was fourteen and he was fifteen. He gave me my first kiss and then I broke up with him the next day. I don't remember why I broke up with him, but I was fourteen, so it seems justification enough. We did not speak for the duration of our high school careers. We met again after we'd both graduated at the fourth of July party for a girl who we both knew. I was the only woman she invited to the party, everyone else was an exboyfriend, including H. Anyway, we started talking again, initially about how she is an insane person and branched out from there. We started dating that November and 4+ years later, here we are.

Oh yes. I still get freaked out. I don't really show it, but I'm constantly worrying about him. I think it's at an extreme level for me and sometimes I wish I could just relax.
The ages from 2 - 4 were the hardest for me with Ben. He is just very full. Full of life, full of personality, full of energy, full of sass and so it was difficult for me to learn to deal with that at first because I tend to be on the low energy side.

Great story Julez. I think DH and I had that same make-out session only in my car,and it was cold out.
Question to all knotties- How far in did you kiss your DH/FI?
Rings: I adore both of them. They're both family heirlooms. Even though I would have never picked a pear shaped solitaire for myself, I'm in love with it because it has so much sentimental value. It was my grandmother's. My wedding band was my great grandmother's.
How we met: I dated one of FI's friends for nearly three years. FI was the first one of the ex bf's friends that I ever met. So FI and I were strictly platonic friends for a long time before we started dating.
Question to all knotties- How far in did you kiss your DH/FI?
He kissed me on the cheek the first night we met and I thought it was really, really strange. 3 weeks later (the second time we hung out) we were out with friends and kissed in the rain while waiting for the valet.

Well, we initially met online, and talked for 6 months before I went to visit him. The very first thing he did when he saw me was kiss me =) I really only consider our relationship to have started once we met in person, but I guess it was really 3 months in.
And then I waited the whole 6 hour drive home from St Louis to OK before jumping his bones. I'm a skank like that.
Thanks, KD! I don't think my parents were real excited that they heard that story (probably a little more graphically) the night of our welcome dinner on the video Christian's BM made for us. Oops!

I love that your rings are heirlooms - that is so incredibly cool.
My mom has my great grandmother's engagement ring, and her wedding band. She had the wedding band soldered to my great GREAT grandmother's wedding band, and they both had the tiniest fingers so she wears it on her pinky finger sometimes. The gold color is so different - it's very dark.
I'm hoping she lets me wear it on my wedding day as my "something old." And I want it someday, lol. I think old jewelry is the coolest. I have another one of my great grandmother's diamond rings that I wear every day on my right pinky.
Who else has any older/vintage jewelry they wear or just have? Any good stories?
FI and I didn't really have a "first date." We were at a party at a mutual friend's house, and we played beer pong and got drunk. Then he kissed me on the shoulder and we went home together. Slut, party of one.

He rode a couple of days, and the one day I had off, my principal decided we had mandatory training, so he came and had lunch with about 12 coworkers, and was right at home (he'd met 3 of them already). I went there for Christmas, we spent Spring Break together, and he asked me to move out there (here) when school got out. We were engaged less than a year later, and married 18 months later, ALMOST 2 years to the time we met.
Oh - PS: I was divorced, and enjoying (mostly) dating again when I met him, and he was a bachelor. I found myself a 41 year old never married man! Of course, that means he's been hard to train...

I had such a crush on Atreyu as a kid. From the first movie, not so much the second, although, yeah, him too I guess.
And I still have plans to one day own a horse named Artax.
*sigh* I think I know what movie I'm watching tonight.
A mutual friend introduced us at a documentary short film festival. We met outside while we were all in line. Then, after we sat down (ya know, like 15 minutes later), our friend told Christian "Julie just got a job at X!" To which he responded "Who's Julie?" So, yeah, after that beginning it took him a few months to convince me that we should start dating
We first hooked up the night before I moved out of my apt. I'd been drinking a ton of champagne and he came over for a while but nothing happened. He left at like 3am and I texted him "You missed your shot at kissing me". I got in the shower because I was super nasty from packing and ended up cutting the hell out of my legs shaving. He came right back, we made out all night (with some stops to make fun of how covered in blood I was by that point) and then 2 weeks later I finally agreed to go on a real date with him.

Seshat- Love, love love neverending story. I always though The Childlike Empress was so cool.
SarahPliz- You're right, it is similar. Yours is more blingy though. I wanted more bling, but our venue is not one where bling would fit in very well.
KD - thank you! Hopefully I have an appetite, and hopefully I can control the tears. For some reason, my happy tears get out of control.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Ask a knottie anything : CEW: what drives you bats about your H? What would he say drives him bats about you? How do you cope with it?
Posted by ohwhynot[/QUOTE]
Hmmm. I would have to say that it's his habit of leaving cabinet doors open. I don't know why it drives me crazy, but it does. His mom does it too, so I know he gets it from her. And he's actually really improved since I started bitching at him about it. :)
And I would say that the thing that drives him the craziest about me is the fact that I don't really like to talk a lot. Also, the bitching about the cabinets probably drives him insane.
ETA: we cope with it by making each other laugh. No matter how pissy we get, we know we can always turn it around with some humor. I love us for that.
How we met: We went to the same high school and dated for three weeks while I was fourteen and he was fifteen. He gave me my first kiss and then I broke up with him the next day. I don't remember why I broke up with him, but I was fourteen, so it seems justification enough. We did not speak for the duration of our high school careers. We met again after we'd both graduated at the fourth of July party for a girl who we both knew. I was the only woman she invited to the party, everyone else was an exboyfriend, including H. Anyway, we started talking again, initially about how she is an insane person and branched out from there. We started dating that November and 4+ years later, here we are.
[QUOTE]a) I love my e-ring and wedding ring - I picked them out :) They're different, and I like that. b) I met J in a chat room I was modding, and he had some lame cheesy line like "you're a cutie," or something like that. Neither of us remember it. The gal I was talking to - we were in a PM and we were laughing about it. He came around a couple of times, and we moved to MSN chat (she thought I was crazy, because we thought he was nutty. His photo was of his KTM motorcycle). Other girls were pouncing on him, too. It was just all around nuts. When it was just one on one, he was much more normal and easier to talk to. He called me one night, and we talked for a while, and eventually he asked if he could come meet me and bring his dirt bike and go ride some trails he'd read about. I was still a little concerned about him being a nutcase, so I asked what he'd do if we didn't like each other, and he said he had no doubt he'd like me, but if I didn't like him, he'd find a hotel and still go dirt bike riding for the week. No harm, no foul. So, after 2 months of talking, he drove from Iowa to NC to meet me and had flowers delivered before he arrived.

[QUOTE]Cew- You seem so put together so did you ever get really freaked out/scared with Ben before you met Matt?
Posted by katiewhompus[/QUOTE]
You're so sweet. Thank you.
Oh yes. I still get freaked out. I don't really show it, but I'm constantly worrying about him. I think it's at an extreme level for me and sometimes I wish I could just relax.
The ages from 2 - 4 were the hardest for me with Ben. He is just very full. Full of life, full of personality, full of energy, full of sass and so it was difficult for me to learn to deal with that at first because I tend to be on the low energy side.

Great story Julez. I think DH and I had that same make-out session only in my car,and it was cold out.
Question to all knotties- How far in did you kiss your DH/FI?
How we met: I dated one of FI's friends for nearly three years. FI was the first one of the ex bf's friends that I ever met. So FI and I were strictly platonic friends for a long time before we started dating.

He kissed me on the cheek the first night we met and I thought it was really, really strange. 3 weeks later (the second time we hung out) we were out with friends and kissed in the rain while waiting for the valet.

When I was little, I used to drape this fancy necklace I had over my forehead to look like her crown thing. Then I'd reenact the scene where she's telling Bastion "You have to try! Bastion, please!" in front of a mirror.
Then my mom caught me and teased me for at least a week and I was too embarrassed to ever do it again.
[QUOTE] Question to all knotties- How far in did you kiss your DH/FI?
Posted by kd.joseph[/QUOTE]
Well, we initially met online, and talked for 6 months before I went to visit him. The very first thing he did when he saw me was kiss me =) I really only consider our relationship to have started once we met in person, but I guess it was really 3 months in.
And then I waited the whole 6 hour drive home from St Louis to OK before jumping his bones. I'm a skank like that.

He didn't even hold my hand until our third date. Our fourth date was dinner at my house, and he finally did it then.
[QUOTE]Rings: I adore both of them. They're both family heirlooms. Even though I would have never picked a pear shaped solitaire for myself, I'm in love with it because it has so much sentimental value. It was my grandmother's.

I love that your rings are heirlooms - that is so incredibly cool.
My mom has my great grandmother's engagement ring, and her wedding band. She had the wedding band soldered to my great GREAT grandmother's wedding band, and they both had the tiniest fingers so she wears it on her pinky finger sometimes. The gold color is so different - it's very dark.
I'm hoping she lets me wear it on my wedding day as my "something old." And I want it someday, lol. I think old jewelry is the coolest. I have another one of my great grandmother's diamond rings that I wear every day on my right pinky.
Who else has any older/vintage jewelry they wear or just have? Any good stories?
