OK, I am not very bright. I cannot figure out how to post a comment in Issue 2 at the end of an article. Hibana's article about the love story between coco_cnh and sodium in Issue 2 is so fantastic. It made me start looking around in Home and discovering there are a number of couples in Home who met in Home, then in real life, and are now planning to get married!
So here is a first-person love story I got from a couple in Home.
I stopped to talk to SkinHerBack because, with a name like that, he seemed to be the perfect candidate for Avatars With Attitude. What ensued in that conversation, however, was a poignant love story about him and Maggie. It took a lot of messages and an attached pic to get the whole story, so I am busy hand-writing all those messages and will post them with the pic in a few minutes.
"My name is Tony. I'm 37, from Indiana, and I met Maggie (she's 27) from Tennessee on PS Home in Central Plaza 17 months ago. We dated for 8 months. Every niht after work we woul get on Home and then we would go to a chat room and watch TV until bedtime. We would sleep in the chat room all night long. We would talk on the phone on the way to work and at lunch and then eat dinner together in the Home Chat Room. After dinner we would go over to the Mall and then dancing in Central Plaza."
"I just want to say she is the love of my life, the most beautiful girl I have ever seen and I am the luckiest man alive to have met her. And I have to thank Sony for having PS Home because I may never have met the love of my life otherwise. Her love has changed my life in so many ways."
"We got married last Thanksgiving in Home in the very spot where we met on the dance floor in Central Plaza. It was awesome. I drove to meet her in person and it was very different to meet someone you are already in love with. She took me and my son around her town and it was the best day of my life. I didn't want that day to end."
"Then she started coming to my house on the weekends. I asked her to marry me in real life and she said 'Yes!'. It made me the happiest man alive. I told her to please move in with me because I don't ever want to be without her again. She found a job in my town first and then she moved in. We have 3 PS3s now. We have Family Night on Home. Every night me, Maggie, an my son get on Home and play games."
"We set a date to marry on May 30th and came to find out my parents and her parents both married on May 30 And they are all still married. Her grand-dad's named Red and so was mine. Her grand-father was a police officer and so was mine. We were both born in February and we have so much in common. I can't wait to marry the girl of my dreams on that awesome day in May!"
"I just want to say that I can't believe I met my soul-mate in a video game. That's awesome! We love to get on Home to get free items and to wind every item we can. I told her the very best thing I ever found in Home was her. We are getting the Home symbol tattooed on us with each other's name in it to never forget what Sony has done for us."
