So my girlfriend and I are coming up on our one year anniversary. No, I'm not coding a marriage proposal into bejeweled, that takes way too much effort and my girlfriend doesn't play videogames, and we're not quite there yet. But we are celebrating our anniversary and the idea of gifts came to mind. My family forwent surprises a long time ago for the much more effective, "what do you want for your/our
__choose a noun__," strategy. So when my girlfriend asked me what I wanted for our one year, stones, rocks, rings, nope, I jokingly replied, "how about an X360."

Apparently she took this suggestion to heart, so now I'm giving a romantic getaway and a "relationship," ring in the form of a claddagh. I am receiving a "relationship" Xbox 360. Being a gamer I think this is the most damn romantic thing I've ever heard, especially because she knows it means I'll spend a little, and I stress little, less time with her because of it. Now of course our families had some opinions, mainly leaning on the, "that's not very romantic" side. So sue me, she can draw a heart on it. I'm wondering if other gamers out there have successfully mixed love and gaming. Hey there's always banking on multiplayer.
