Post by Alize »

I'm good thanks! Haha that wizard robe! I played EQ2 for a while too and then switched back to WoW and now I don't play anything! (Geez what a downer I am!)

I got married in June to the greatest guy ever - he's posted here a few times as Sikarios or something. Believe it or not we met 4+ years ago playing counterstrike 1.6! See, now if we never had that CotC LAN party at my house and KrazyDave never made me play CS 1.3, I would have never met the my husband! So somehow CotC has played a part in my destiny -- LOL!

My husband and I started our own company a couple years ago doing graphics and web design. We both are self-employed dealing with this wonderful economy, but making it somehow :) Couldn't be happier! The kids are gettin all growed' up - 9,8 and 4 years old now (4 year old is standing in the corner as I type this for farting on her sister and running around yelling "haha I farted"). My how time flies eh?!

Heh! That's a good story. I'm glad things are going well.

All good here, kids 15 and 12. Still happily married going on 22 years next year.

My son is a WOW junky, I'm not sure what server he is on or his screen name, but I'll find out

LOL. Kids are great, eh?

Good to see you around. Don't be a stranger.

(See AW, this place *is* special. They all come back, one way or another.)

And this is Neo, with our LAN's SCTF server sitting next to him on the couch.
IIRC, this LAN was Lukestr's first taste of broadband internet, with which he sat up most of the night downloading anything and everything he could get his hands on.

Ya know, in the back of my head (which obviously folks think is very close to the front of my head), I thought that only AW would be crass enough to go for the short bus reference. I was obviously incredibly mistaken and completely wrong.

I humbly apologize to warf for underestimating his crassibility.

I bow to you, sir.

The guy standing up is.....

Fox Mulder!

You don't recall his accent?! In another one of the pic's you posted, with me sitting on the couch you can see my tiny hub. We had network issues back then. Fox couldn't connect because his laptop was 10 Mbit only and my hub was 100 Mbit only. Or maybe it's the other way around? I had hair back then, so you know this pic is old! hahaha

Here's something for ya to remember Alize~....
