So one of the cool things about having a wife like Hydee is that she really indulges a lot of my geek tendencies. She respects me having time blocked off in my schedule for D&D, she made a hand knit Brain Slug, and listens patiently when I share fantasy characters and world building maps I've made. The most recent case in point though: My wedding ring.
I'm a fiddly guy. I like to have stuff in my hands to do things with. In class I do pen spinning while I listen. In the past during breaks at work I used to juggle. When I used to smoke, I loved having a Zippo so I could do lighter tricks. Hell, even typing a blog fits in to this category. So getting a ring means I would fiddle with my ring, twisting it on my finger and likely irritating the skin underneath. How to solve this problem? Enter: the Gear Ring.
It really is as cool as it looks in the video. H remembered me liking it from a few years back and ordered it for the wedding. Now she could have demanded a traditional wedding band and I would have completely gone along without complaint. (Considering how informal our wedding was, she had every right to!) Instead, she goes ahead and gets me the cool ring! I really am a lucky man.
Neil and I just had a debate over the title. This after spending an hour looking up Felicia Day, John Coultan, listening to videos, reading lyrics, and on and on (We are catching up on several of your entries). So, I thought it was from Lord of the Rings, Neil thought it was Klingon. I won!!! I'm the biggest geek! Neil claimed it was because it wasn't in Elvish script. The inscription just isn't the same in Arial. Bad loser.

Just the fact that you guys would have that debate makes me love you all the more!
