How did you meet your partner?

So I make it no secret that I am a furry and, at one time, a Sega/Sonic the Hedgehog fanboy. Around 1998 I roleplayed on an online text-based roleplay environment called a MUCK that was based on the Archie Sonic comics. I caught the eye of the MUCK's admin and for a couple years we were really really good friends and had online dalliances with eachother from time to time. Around 2000, we made it official, having been together 17 years, despite being half a country apart from eachother. It isn't so bad since we see eachother online every night and I try to visit RL at every chance I get. I was originally going to move there around 2007/2008, moving in with a couple friends to save some money for the big move, but that got sidetracked by my grandparents getting into a car accident; my grandpa dying and my grandmother seriously injured. On top of that, some friction with my roommates forced me to move in with my dad and grandmother for four years. Finally, though, after so long, I will be moving to the East Coast to be with my beloved this coming fall.
