Though we (at least attempt to) value our anonymity at kissaboo.com, as owner of the site I'll let the veil slip a little and let the world share in my happiness. This past Valentine's Day, exactly at midnight - definitely not Friday the 13th, I proposed to my long time girlfriend along the Charles River, and though it wasn't a Harris Teeter (congratulations!), she said yes. Besides work, this is part of the reason I at least have not been posting to kissaboo. Thanks to the people at Jared for their help. Pictures of the ring and occasion to follow plus wedding plans.
Posted by shs4 at February 18, 2004 12:21 AM | TrackBackAllow me to be the first (on kissaboo) to congratulate the future Mr. and Mrs. Shepard! I'm looking forward to seeing pictures of the rock...
Posted by: Dave at February 18, 2004 01:41 AMI wanted to be the first to post my congratulations (or "gratz" or "omedetou" as they say in some circles that I'm well acquainted with) on KissaBoo, but alas, I simply can't compete these fanatical readers who refresh the page every couple seconds.
Nevertheless, a hearty congratulations to the couple! ^^
Posted by: Jason at February 18, 2004 02:24 AMCongrats, you two! I feel somehow invested in this. How has a certain someone else reacted?
Posted by: Mr. Sparkle at February 18, 2004 02:54 PMMr. Sparkle, do you have any plans for summer?
Here's my two cents on marriage:
Marriage is like a Roostor. Sure, it can change into Roostalion, but that's only have obtaining Diamond Level 7. Instead, you can take the Roostor and put it in a bag, where it will flourish or expire depending on fate. You don't think this is a good idea? Roostors are not like Jujunezbees (sp?) who do not have the heart for such endeavors.
Also like marriage, Lambtron is losing the battle of his life. Fortunatly, Lambtron's special powers give him good chance in new fight; will he survive?
In summary, I am saddened that Lambtron is lonely because there are so few Lambtrons in the world. Will he ever find a companion?
Yup, that's marriage in a nutshell.

Posted by: closhep at February 18, 2004 06:07 PMMy goal was to have this to be second after the short "State of the Blog" piece, but I can't stop people from posting. Anyway, it is out there for the world to see.
Posted by: shs4 at February 18, 2004 06:14 PMI agree with shs4--Jason, that was an unneccessary quote.
Anyway, blastfax kudos all around.
Posted by: Dave at February 18, 2004 11:00 PMI'd just like to remind everyone here of the coolest way to propose. Surely there must be some highly eligible bachelors among KissaBoo's authorship who can try this out. ^^
- Jason
Posted by: Jason at February 19, 2004 02:52 AMWow, that card would almost guarantee your loss in a multi-player game. That would be a fine-tuned deck's poison!
Posted by: boo at February 19, 2004 09:06 AMFor those of us who have some vague memory that John Hunka is a Magic player but not much else, he currently has 2 points in the POTY Race. I assume points are good, so it seems like he is far behind. Best link I could find on him.
Btw, congratulations on the engagement! - which is what this article was originally about...
