she had been caring for an elderly relative and to this day maintains that if not for her mental and physical exhaustion coupled with a week's sleep-debt she would not have agreed to meet me.

she had no description of herself and only listed that she liked this activity, photography, books, movies, and bruce lee. there was a very poorly taken picture of her doing this activity. i couldn't even tell what she looked like, only that she wasn't obese. so i literally knew very little about her.

the only picture of myself i'd put up was this:

so she had very little idea what i looked like.

we decided to meet to partake in this outdoor activity and told each other what cars we had so we could find one another.

upon her arriving i was riding my skateboard (away from my car) and watching others partake. she drove up and i knew it was her by her car but she did not know it was me. she smiled at me and me at her. i followed her (on my skateboard) back to her car as she happened to park next to my car. she then realized that i was who she was supposed to meet.

we had fun outdoors and had fish tacos for lunch. i didn't think she liked me that much and while i thought she was cool and good looking i didn't expect then to be married to her now.

she said that if i hadn't had the 400 blows and safe listed as favorite films, and that i liked green tea, she might not have agreed to meet at all.
