Sticky Cause I say so =O

Anyhow, I've been keeping in close contact with tom for the past 4 years now, all started with a commission and went from there. We kept talking over AIM for a while then A program called hello, witch unfortunately recently shut down.

After finally convincing him I wasn't a creepy stalker We decided to meet up for dinner at the red lobster in Ohio at his hometown on my way to Anthrocon this year.

(( I still wish you told me you didn't like fish before we chose ;-; ))

I found out then it was his first time meeting someone over the internet, so I tried not to be too goofy, hope I left a good impression!


Tom overall is a very pleasant man to talk to, and you'll quickly find yourself chatting away. He eve made me a little CD filled with some comics and such.

(( Thanks again! ))

But overall, even though it was only an hour dinner and i had to dash off to the other side of Ohio, It was nice meeting up with a good friend and having a casual chat. I hope his experience was the same.

And Also...

Yeah, me on the left him on the right.

And I haven't said so personally yet, but my deepest condolences to you and your family.

Man, nanaki, I used to think you were really tall, but considering Tom is Asian which makes him four feet tall, you're not as tall as you told me you were!

(hurrah for stereotypes!)

Wow, Tom looks kind of like my brother in that picture.... Except with longer, black hair.

How was the Red Lobster anyways?

Gross (with the exception of the biscuits) as usual?

Least the company was good, right?

Wait. You're not a creepy stalker? Wow. I was not expecting that. Surely I must now reexamine everything I hold to be truth...

Just kidding. You should've got a picture where you're pointing to Tom with a ridiculous grin, à la Stephen Colbert.

*Jealousy*
>.<

Red Lobster's a tough place to eat if you don't dig on the seafood...it kinda leaves you with either nibbling on cheese biscuits or ordering the corn dog off of the kiddie menu...

There's plenty to eat at Red Lobster if you don't like seafood. Like the.. Cheese sticks.. Or the cheese biscuits.. I think they might have spaghetti! The cajun chicken pasta is good.

Sounds like a blast, eh well there's stuff other than seafood at red lobster...just not much :lol: . Not sure really, never ordered anything but seafood from there, lived on the coast most of my life so seafood is a must. Glad y'all got to meet up though, hopefully it goes to prove that not everyone you meet online is some creepy weirdo...though it doesn't hurt to be cautious for certain.

How can Tom not like seafood! I eat it every chance I get, I am addicted to the stuff. I grew up on the stuff because my mother is asian. Anyways meeting him must be like meeting Jesus. loi...

Lol, Tom's 'stache and goatee look like mine... Hit hair's a wee bit longer than mine, though... dang it...

I love Red Lobster. The rolls are excellent (always have about 5, the waiter never gets impatient, lol), and they make an awesome Crab Alfredo linguine. And yes, I am entirely too jealous of you, man. Not something that happens every day, meeting up with a really close friend that...well...you've never met... Wow, that sounded weird.

Anyways, I officially marvel at your tallness (unless you hate being called tall, shorty), and I must express the fact that Tom looks delightfully more Asian than I thought he did.

=^.^=

We should feel jealous of Tom, getting to meet Nanaki. :P

Very cool, Nanaki, thanks for sharing with us.
