D= Well, I suppose there would have only been a few there. *shrugs* Gushing is win. ^^ I'm excited for the story. ^^

I deleted the ship yards a couple months back. All ship related boards were moved to the main one...

Right. A kittengush. I don't think we've ever told the NTWF at large how we got together, have we?
So, it all started when..
It was at our college's CF. I didn't intend to go at first, but somehow ended up there anyway. We were doing different courses, I was doing pre-U for an Australian university, she was doing a transfer program to a university in the US. I didn't like her at first. She was bouncy. Cheery. She radiated with chatter and joy, and that seared me enough to find shelter in a Stephen King novel, away from her. In all that she was, it seemed that I was not.
Days passed without incidence, until we both were called up for a committee meeting, having been voted against our will into taking over the CF's leadership. I spent that entire meeting sniffing empty cartons of lemon tea, thus derailing most of the meeting into discussions on what the tea actually smelled like, and gaining her attention. I however, remained safely oblivious to it, and I would remain so for the next five months. I also was elected president.
The afternoon before the next CF meeting she approached me at the back of the library, asking if she could get a ride home that day. My attention more on the novel in front of me than on her, I agreed. Her house was on the way home anyway. Five minutes away from mine, and we had to pass a gorgeous house too.
Not having talked to her much, I expected a quiet drive home. Oh, but we talked and made each other laugh so much that drive back. I suppose it was then when it all really started to happen. And I did have to concede to the fact that she left a nice, fruity-sweet smell in the car.
It wasn't long before she roped me in to give her regular lifts back, and before I knew what hit we were spending hours at the back of the library talking together about everything we could think of and more. You'll have to forgive me, my memory of those few months are fuzzy at best. It was also around then when she developed a crush on me, something I wouldn't know until she shoved the fact into my face.
I had told myself that I wouldn't date anyone that year, since I just had come out of a sour relationship the year before, so for the most part I considered and treated her as a good friend. It wasn't until the evening on the 23rd of July when we sat down and talked it out (metaphorically).
Stopping to rewind a little.
On the 23rd, we went out for a movie with Ivan. Pirates of the Caribbean 2, I think. I still have the movie tickets from that day, the printing has faded though. We had been calling each other by endearments, if only as a form of non-serious teasing, and on the drive back, I asked her to stop calling me with them. We were both confused, and had reached the point where you either go on to become a couple or just to be good friends. I had wanted the latter, I'm not sure which she wanted.
So anyway. That night we talked over MSN (we owe our relationship to Microsoft, by the way), and it pretty much amounted to her saying “I like you, and I wouldn't mind giving us a shot at being a couple. But you have to ask me, so there.” 12:30 on the morning of the 24th of July 2006, I asked her to be my girlfriend. And well. She's been ever since. And will be, until well. Until we get engaged I suppose. And that's another story. <3

The reason I got rid of it was that in the beginning, there were plans to make more subboards that fit specific types. That never materialized. But given how many threads were even in the Ship Yards, and how many are even in the main board, it didn't make much sense to have a separate subboard (we've been doing board consolidation as needed lately)
But if enough people feel that we really need a shipping subboard, I suppose it could be brought back.

I suppose there are only six pages on the club boards. And there's only a handful of ships anyway. *shrugs*

I feel that if people didn't notice the ship yard was gone in the first place, there's no point in it being remade. XD; And the number of ships is relative... are we only counting real ships or Bloidal ships? When the ship yard started, there were only Bloidal ships there, for fun. Nothing serious. XD
So anyway, since this is the Kit/Crystal club, I'll say the story was very sweet! ^__^ <3
