It amazes me that I have been on the board for about seven years, give or take a couple of reboots and redesigns, and I have had the pleasure of meeting a good deal of you and liking you all. You've beared with the incessant obsessions, the willingness and ability to make a total ass out of myself, the childish antics, and the occasional blatant shameless flirting with other members. For those things alone, I thank you and express my deepest fondness for you guys.

But now, because Barbelith exists (mainly because Tom is awesome but the rest of us have taken up the baton) and is an online community like no other, it has also allowed me to meet and find the person I love and pretty much want to spend my life with.

(Wow. This is harder than I thought. And it's making me blush.)

You all know him as MattShepherd and I love him. And he loves me, too.

Wheeee!!!!!

He was here last week and it was the best week I have ever had.

Right now I'm making an appointment to the Canadian Consulate here in Atlanta to discuss possible immigration, or at the very least, visas.

I am happy happy happy.
 
 
MattShepherd: I WEDDED KALI!
18:26 / 27.03.07
Not hiding! And very, very happy. We agreed to let Kali post first about this, for reasons I can't recall right now but made a lot of sense at the time.

I loves me some Kali.

If anyone out there knows anyone that has emigrated to Quebec, please do PM either of us. We'd like to avoid pitfalls and investigate the most efficient ways of getting together permanent-like.

Whee!

And anyone who still wants to be with me after enduring the mouthiest cat in the world is truly awesome.

(No, for serious, my cat has a mouth on 'im.)

What a lovely thing to have happened to two very fine 'Lithers. Now, if only Matt can come to terms with the fact that he's not and never will be David Tennant, happiness will be assured.
 
 
Kali, Queen of Kitteh
18:55 / 27.03.07
I feel like the luckiest girl in the world.

That was the most embarrassingly poorly-kept secret in world history. You know that, don't you?
 
 
Kali, Queen of Kitteh
19:12 / 27.03.07
How was it poorly-kept, Haus? I mean, he and I figured there would be have to be one dissenting voice, and it was down to either you or Flyboy.
 
 
Ticker
19:16 / 27.03.07
Wait, I thought Charles and Camilla were the worst kept secret?
 
 
ONLY NICE THINGS
19:19 / 27.03.07
Oh, don't be melodramatic, Kali. I'm very happy for you both, but it's been blindingly obvious for a good while, now. I had no idea that you thought it was a secret, to be honest.

Still. Mazel tov to the charmingly guileless pair of you.
 
 
Kali, Queen of Kitteh
19:20 / 27.03.07
Then I must be blind. I had no idea it had been obvious to some, if not everyone, to be honest. I don't think MattS did either.

Hmm. Interesting.
 
 
MattShepherd: I WEDDED KALI!
19:28 / 27.03.07
Well, it would have been obvious to anyone that read either of our blogs, really. I suspect those with superior read-between-the-lines abilities might have picked up on the whole thing. 'Trix totally called us on it upthread, too.

It was never so much a "!TOP SEKRIT!!" thing as just "let's not go on about this until we're sure about it ourselves," which was pretty much last Tuesday or Wednesday.

I am not David Tennant, but I am cultivating skin samples for a future graft. Ecclestone eludes me, however.

Don't sweat it Kali, Haus just has magical interweb eyes that see into your soul when you post. He knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men.

Congratz to both of you!

Big congratulations to both of you.

he's not and never will be David Tennant

If only you knew, Kali, if only you knew...
 
 
Triplets
19:39 / 27.03.07
Haus is just jealous of love. Jealous as a homo sapien cerebrum cadus can be.


Which is quite a lot.

Ridiculous sweet. I'm really happy for you guys.

It was obvious the minute I mentioned your name, when Matt was over here around xmas. You should have seen his eyes light up, Kali, when your name was mentioned. Aww.

Well, I didnt have a clue

(throws away pile of unsent love letters to Matt)

YAY! Congratulations to the two of you!

I didn't have a clue either, but then I am spectacularly blind and naive about such things. It's darling news!

Congratulations Kali and Matt. Go the Lithlove.

Holy crap. That's really cool. I knew nothing, but then again, I usually know nothing. Good luck on the arduous and fantastic voyage. How very nice for you both.

MIGHT A MAN SHED A SINGLE SALINE TEAR OF JOY AT SUCH NEWS OF LOVE, AND STILL REMAIN A MAN?

HE MIGHT!

Well of all the relationships that have been started through barbelith (I can think of six off the top of my head) this is the first that's been announced.
