Introducing Mr. Glumirk


Hello, I'm MegaMatt, although my new wife has informed me that as long as I use this forum, I'd probably be better known as Mr. Glumirk. I always live in the shadow of my older siblings at school, so I certainly don't mind living in shadow of my amazing companion, Glumirk.

I laughed at Glumirk and teased her a little for her devotion to her online journals and forums. But lately I've been finding myself with a gnawing addiction to the same things on the internet! Oh no! I can see her cute smug look now! I guess after watching her post over her shoulder for the past month or so (and also influncing her posts with whatever jokes I had on my mind) she suggested it would be fun for me to try joining Bountiful.

I'm a college student studying Optical Engineering. I'm going into my third year and I'm loving the challenge. I met Glumirk at the local Institute last August. We had a typical singles ward courtship of about 5 months and then an engagment of about 4 months. So I guess we're in the happily ever after phase?

Wow! I just realized that today is the one year anniversery of me being home from my mission! I served for two years in the Domincan Republic Santo Domingo West Mission, where they have the longest mission name (actually tied for longest with the East mission, but I'd say that a W takes up more space than an E) and the worst driving record. But my last companion who is still serving told me they recently removed all mission vehicles. But this is becoming less and less relevant...

Thanks for letting me on the forum. Any questions?

Welcome, Matt.  Hehe, that's kinda funny--welcome mat.  And thanks for the intro.

Lets see, you're Mormons, you've been married a few weeks now, so when's the baby due?  biggrin

All I can say is not today. Hopefully not tomorrow. I guess we're still honeymooning.

Welcome Matt... don't listen to roper, unless he threatens to do a roundhouse kick in the face (he's our resident Chuck Norris look-alike)...

Anyone who loves and takes care of our glumirk is a friend indeed. biggrin.gif

See, if you get to be called Mr. glumirk, then she gets to be called Mrs. MegaMatt... turnabout is fair play in Bountiful... just ask Poncho... doh.gifwink.gif

Welcome Matt, feel free to ride yer horse into the Saloon and fire off yer hog irons. Loin cloths made from endangered species are not mandatory but highly recommended when conversing with the men folk and making jokes about the women folk. Oh, also, you better take good care of Glumirk or the resident Brute Squad will hunt ya down, confiscate yer loin cloth, and put ya into a really deep hole. Welcome!

Welcome to Bountiful, Matt!

In addition to the horses, hog irons, loin cloths and Brute Squad, please be aware that the chatbox is reserved strictly for use by the weemin and saloon girls. laughing.gif

Who made that rule? laughing.gif I think it was more along the lines of a hostile take over or corporate buy-out, but no money has exchanged hands yet. biggrin.gif I guess Sheriff Arbi ain't been doin' his job. (No offense Arbi). wink.gif Personally I'd like to see some men folk in loin cloth hanging around the chatbox more often. biggrin.gif

But, MegaMatt as one new forum member to another, welcome! I too am the spouse of a veteran member. (And, personally I lobbyed for Cat to change his name to Mr. Poncho, but that idea didn't fly).

MrCoco and I dated 5 months also, from the day we met to the day we were married in the Jordan River Temple. Glad you're here!

What exactly is Optical Engineering? Like seerstones? biggrin.gif

Optical Engineering, isn't that a division of the Ministry of Magic?

Yeah, the minister and I have been sending owls back and forth. It seems that there is employment for a few insider muggles in the ministry who, under close supervision of the the muggle-outreach committee, engineer and optimize designs for items so they can be magiked and put into production for the magical community as a whole.

We're currently looking into how lasers and particle beams correlate with all those cool sparks and colors that shoot out of wands.

So when you have kids, and one of them asks why the sky is blue, he'll get much more of an answer than he bargained for! biggrin.gif

Indeed! Last spring in my Geometrical Optics class, we had a whole lecture (well, maybe the last 10 minutes of lecture) on why we have rainbows (primary, secondary, tertiary) why the sky is blue, and why sunsets are orange/red/pretty colors. yawn

I made primary and secondary rainbows in the backyard a week ago with the hose while watering the flowers... At one point, the arc appeared to be > 180 degrees.

I was not...  I gave that up for lent-in-July...  wink  I was trying to give an object lesson on God's promise to never flood the world again to beserker warrior son by demonstrating how even at the micro level like that, He had set His symbol to remind of the covenant...

Problem is, beserker warrior son thought it was more fun to just run through the water...

Now this is just sad. Mirkwood's life is so boring that he's desperate enough to make things up about other people. Let's all take a moment of silence to feel sorry for Mirk.
