Playing MMOS

So, my husband and I have found some creative ways of spending time together while apart. The one that we have done the most, is playing different MMOS. After all, that is how we met... through an MMO that we were both beta testing at the time.

Over the years, we have played quite a few MMOS together; Pirates of the Caribbean Online, World of Warcraft, Star Wars: The Old Republic, The Lord of the Rings Online, Runescape, and many, many more. However, I have found myself attached to LOTRO. Why? Well, I have been a big fan of both the books, and the movies. When I heard they were making an MMO based on J.R.R. Tolkien's books, I was thrilled about it, and could not wait for it to come out. When it came time for beta sign ups, I signed up right away, and amazingly, got the chance to beta test the game. This was back in 2004. I was fourteen at the time, and had no job, so my LOTRO playing ended right after the game launched. I did not get into playing it again until around 2010, when I happened to stumble across the website. I suggested to my husband (boyfriend at the time), that we play it together. So, that it exactly what we did, and I grew to love the game all over again.

My husband likes playing LOTRO... but not as much as me. I guess he finds the game frustrating at time. He has a real history with Runescape, being a high level character on that, and knowing a lot about each quest, and ways to level up your skills. I play Runescape from time to time with him, just as he plays LOTRO from time to time with me. I like that about him, that he will play something that I love, even though he himself doesn't love it as much. I also like doing that for him, because I know he enjoys Runescape, and I know that it makes him happy when I take part in things he enjoys. I guess that it what being in a relationship can be about, taking part in your partner's activities, even though you do not nearly enjoy them as much. I like making my husband happy, and him being cheerful, just as much as how he likes seeing me happy.

I guess this post was to share how I appreciate my husband playing this particular MMO with me. I wonder, what others will do for their partners to make them happy?

Laying In Bed

You know, sometimes laying in bed alone has me thinking about my LDR with V. I think about how much I miss him, and how I wish I could have him lying right beside me, holding me and kissing me on the neck. Laying in bed can sometimes feel like the loneliest time spent. At least when you're on skyping with your SO, and hearing his voice, or even just typing out messages, you do not feel so alone. Sometimes being apart in a LDR can suck. It is always a good thing to try to stay positive, however and that is what I am going to do. I am going to think about the good times we shared, when we were together. I am also going to think how we are going to be together again someday (hopefully in February.) The wait can be worth it. Once you see each other again, there is a tremendous amount of joy that fills your heart... A joy of seeing your beloved once again, reunited. You feel whole, and as one again. I yearn and ache for that feeling. I cannot wait to touch him, to feel his hair throu...

Merry Christmas... wait it is Boxing Day now!

It is funny how the holidays seem to fly by! Christmas this year was ok. I enjoyed watching my nephews opening up their presents, and the excitement in their expressive eyes as they unwrap their holiday surprise. I also loved the cookies that my mother bakes every year for Christmas. Her chocolate chip cookies are to die for! I just wish the husband was here to enjoy Christmas with me. It is weird not being with him during the holiday season, and I almost have a void inside my heart during this time of year. It can get especially troubling when seeing couples together on this special season, holding hands, and cuddling close to keep warm from the bitter cold as they walk down the street. Ah, no matter. At least there is hope of celebrating with him next year, and the year after that.  Speaking of which, I have to get his form started. I will start on that tomorrow, either before or after work. At least I've done all my research, although it never hurts to double, and tr...

Finally Changed My Last Name

Well, on Wednesday I went to the Social Security office to finally change my last name. I now feel like I am really his wife, and it feels great! Of course, we have been married for three years, and I felt like his wife then, but now, it feels more official in a way? Anyway, the card with my new last name should be arriving in two weeks. Then, I get to do the fun stuff, like notifying my work, bank, oh, and getting a new passport with the new last name. I think I am going to save the passport for last, since this year, I am in no rush to change it right away. Nope, there is not going to be any traveling to England from me, this year. Hopefully next year, when I travel to England, it will be for good. Work has been a bit more easy going for me, although I do wish that we closed at nine, instead of ten every day. I mean, sure, there is more time to prepare for closing, but I just do not like getting out at 11:00pm every night. It makes going to bed at a decent hour pretty difficult. I ...
