IRL: Claused is one year older than me. We met 5 years ago...We hated each other at first but we grew to be good friends---to good that I ended up having a crush on him. He told me that there was someone else that he liked. I got heartbroken of course..then his mum forced him back to Japan.
Gaia: Since he's not allowed to take foreign calls, or make them, the internet was the only possible way for the two of us communicate with each other. E-mail wasn't possible either because his mother installed a program on every pc in the house that allows her to access their inbox. Hence, Gaia is the only way.
After going back home to his country, he made a Gaia account so that he can apologize to me. Right after the apology, he left Gaia...soon, he returned as MisterWaffle. Shazam! He became my fanboy. He changed his name to Claused to match with mine and he made a comment on every thread that I made in every chance that he got.
Later on, he proposed to me here in gaia. (not a RL proposal of course) This is the thread that he made for that purpose: linkage
He did everything he could just to get a yes from me. In the end, I did say yes. In my time zone, we got married on May 27 (2007, duh!) at 3 pm/past it. In gaia's time zone, it's May 27, 2007 12:09 am.
