stormdogMy dear friend,and overall lovely person, Serinthia, is marrying her long-time partner today in a ceremony in Illinois. Because we live in the future, I'll be able to be telepresent via Skype.
I met Serin for the first time at a furry softball game. She and her partner Todd were living in North Carolina, but we talked a bit online. When they moved to Kenosha, we started spending more time together in person. Soon, Todd realized that I was not, in fact, an axe-murderer, and we've been playing board games, watching Star Wars cartoons, and generally hanging out semi-regularly ever since. At least, until I moved to New York.
I don't know Todd as well as I know Serin; I just haven't had as much time to get to know him. I know he's a pretty great guy though, and not just because he's Serin's partner. As for Serinthia, she is one of the sweet, kindest, and most thoughtful people I have ever met. Once, when we were were working at the same place together in Illinois, years ago, I was having a particularly difficult day. She spent her whole lunch hour trying to find some Godiva Chocolate ice cream for me to cheer me up, just because I'd said something in passing about how much I wanted some. It turned out that the ice cream had been discontinued and she couldn't find any. It didn't matter, because her expression of care really made my day. I still remember very clearly how cared for I felt.
I'm so happy for both of my friends today. May they have many more years of happiness together.
