Monkey See, Monkey Do.

April 28, 2009 at 1:42 pm · Filed under Geek Culture & Tech, Roba, Seriously

I first met Hal through our blogs in late 4/13/2006, with a comment, “Welcome to the world of blogging!”.

Two days later in my Gmail archive, at 11:55 PM, there’s an email from me to her with a straightforward question, “Is it too late to call? :)”. I do not remember how that came up.

The reply came quickly, at 11:59, “Never! Go ahead, if you like call the house, my parents are still out so no one will ever know. Hehehe.”

Instant sparks, if you may.

Chat with Hala K. [engaged = ♥ squared]

Roba: Hehe, yeah, so cute. So happy for you babe, I really like T.

Hal: ME TOO ME TOO! I like him too. I fricking love the internet though.

Roba: Hehe, yeah, tell me about it.

Hal: Remember the days when I used to be skeptical about you and Moose and the internet thing? I WAS SO RETARDED.

Roba: Hehe, yeah. We’re like love buddies or something. The internet found us our soulmates.

Hal: We are! I THINK ITS SO COOL!

Roba: And found us each other :P

Hal: I think we are the coolest. I am so CORNY. Corny is now cool. I kid you not. I’m so crazy in love with my internet hottie. YAY!!! Wait, will send you a picture of the 4 of us. It’s awesome, wait.
Ok.
Sending….
Sending….
Still sending….
SENT!!!

Roba: I’m checking.

Hal: Yo, Roba our internet loves, mine and yours, both have gorgeous blue eyes to go along with our own gorgeous brown eyes. I love symmetry like that or whatever you call it. Monkey see monkey do.

Hala is busy. You may be interrupting.

I know you will hate me for it, but what am I to do. It is only suitable that I give you and Mr. T a big mabrook shoutout here. Love you kiddo!

I cannot believe that now there is documented internet proof out there that I find his eyes gorgeous when all this time I have been pretending to be indifferent. U BLEW MY COVER!!!! Eft ya fdee7a when u asked for permission to blog this I thought u’d stop at ‘corny’……tayeb ya roba, totally ruined my reputation, now people know im capable of love and shit, will kick ur ass x-(

    Wow….i never realized u’d blogged about me that much. No wonder I”m so mafdoo7a in Jordan.

    In other news, I miss our conversations about shoes. And about our love for the Internet. And I’m so rewriting my will soon. There’s a new dominant factor in my life that has to be given due attention in the will. So stay tuned! :P (Don’t worry, he won’t want the shoes though, TRUST ME.)

    MABROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOK! Hala and Mr. T!!!!!

    Finally, a man worthy of Rambling Hal. Sigh. Sweet.

    You two (four :D) are going to make BeeeYoooTIFUL babies

  • http://7akifadi.com 7aki Fadi

    Kinzi, speaking of babies, although it is still too soon, I mean Hala still needs to get married first for Gods sakes before we talk about babies, but I am DYING to read rambling Hal’s baby posts. I can already imagine the hilarity. HAHAHAHA. And what if it was a girl and wanted to share mommy’s shoe collection. OMG.

  • ziad d

    Sweet! Mabrook Hala. I miss the days when your blog was public. Oh well. I am glad to hear your good news through Roba’s. Wonderful.

  • Bardees

    ohhhhh how cute!! congratulations :)
    your comments were hilarious, heehehee,
    and i have to agree with Ziad about missing your blog !

  • http://www.ramblinghal.blogspot.com Hal

    Thanks all, u’re very kind and sweet and it means a lot, and I’m not just saying that coz I see flowers and little birdies and rainbows everywhere these days. (Roba, I dont hate u anymore, I am loving the attention.)

    BUT:

    Try and say babies one more time and I’ll hunt you down and annihilate you. No female spawn is sharing my shoes. Also, I agreed to marry him on the condition that I get a walk-in closet with a whole wall dedicated to shoes. What, you think I’ll let this one go without documenting it on paper? HA.

    Hala, it is official: YOU MUST GO BACK TO BLOGGING.

  • Beti

    I think this is great :) I can sort of relate, though technically, my guy and I met over 20 years ago as kids at a language school, we “re-found” each other through the net after having lost touch 17 years ago…

  • http://www.kinziblogs.wordpress.com kinzi

    Hala, muhaha, babies-babies-babies-babies!!!!!! TWINS TWINS TRIPLETS TRIPLETS!!! I would just love for you to come on over, even for a little annihilation (by chocolate, of course), did it work???

    YES…it IS OFFICIAL, you MUST come back to blogging, even just to cover your wedding/planning ESCAPADES!!!!! Then take a honeymoon away, then as 7aki mentioned, we MUST have a baby-blog. YOU WILL BE BIGGER THAN PIONEER WOMAN!

    7aki, lol, yes, I am WAY ahead of myself!!!! I am taking a certain young man ENGAGEMENT RING shopping today and she doesn’t know and I CAN’T BLOG about it because she reads my blog!!!! (Not Roba’s though)

    Roba, let’s plan a shoe-wedding shower for Hala! Imagine registering for gifts at 786 Via Roma!

  • http://andfaraway.net Roba

    Hahaha, I think Hal is being tortured.

  • http://www.ramblinghal.blogspot.com Hal

    What’s with you people and babies…IM NOT EVEN MARRIED YET OH MY GOD……I refuse to be the one to add to the world’s overpopulated population, that’s right, I am being ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY by refraining from being reproductive.

    But yeah ok shoe shower, I’m in!
