    Re-Introductions!

    Hi everyone!! I'm Remy. I was a member here back in yeesh...2010?!

    I got an email today saying y'all missed me so I decided to come back because hey, a lot's changed since then!!

    My name: Remy
    Her name: Rin
    I live: Bayville, NJ
    She lives: Bronx, NY
    My age: 25
    Her age: 23
    Distance: 90 miles
    Together since: 6/11/12

    How we met:

    I (Sara) met her (Rin) in 2011 at AnimeNEXT, I was in plain clothes, sitting outside the GSEC and she happens to pass me in her Fang cosplay and I absolutely died. She was perfect. (LADYBONER MOMENT, OKAY. I’M NOT SORRY.)

    At the time we were dating other people. Time went on and eventually she broke up with her boyfriend because they just weren’t working out. Her and I would talk every once in awhile, but not often.

    Fast forwarding to May of 2012 and she sends me a message on Facebook that she was ‘absolutely hyped’ to see me again at the con the following month. From then on, we talked every day until we saw each other at the convention and it just hit me like a ton of bricks that I had feelings for this girl.
    We spent most of the convention together just hanging out. But the problem was, I was still attached to someone else. It was a very difficult decision to make, try to stick out an uncertain relationship with someone on the other side of the world where it wasn’t known when I’d actually see them in person or date a lot closer to home? The breakup between me and my former partner didn’t go without mess. I tried my best to keep it civil and explained what had happened but it still did not go over well and I can totally understand that. I wasn’t about to cheat so I was totally honest about my feelings for Rin.

    In the end, you live and learn. Gotta take the bad with the good and all that stuff. I’m only human, I make mistakes, but I certainly cannot control whom I fall in love with.

    I have a LDR 'blog'/virtual scrapbook I'm working on to show her on our second anniversary next summer. Feel free to check it out and follow along if you'd like.

        wow that's a long time! I'm determined to go to one some day. My SO will be in Japan for two years so maybe we can go to a real deal one when I visit! I'll probably not dress up or anything but I would really love to do that. It just seems like it would cost a lot.

          Hehe, you don't have to dress up, it's completely optional! In fact I didn't start dressing up until 2011, funnily enough~

                I figured you don't have to dress up, it's just something I would like to do someday. I'll probably do what you did and start out not dressing up.
