She says: I went to Halifax, NS for a week in July 2005 and when I came back, I posted some of my photos on xvi.com, a website we both used to frequent often. When someone posts photos, they are listed on the front page of the website for all to see. Jimmy happened to log into the website as I had completed my upload and clicked to view my photos. I guess I had named one of the island wrong and he took it upon himself to correct me by posting the correct name under the photo as a comment. I later saw that he had posted that and messaged him and we began to talk on a regular basis on the website. I think it was about 1 or 2 weeks after chitchatting on and off on the site he noticed that I was attending a singles event at Helsinki, (the one where you wear red bracelet if you're taken and green if you're single) and he mentioned that he had planned on attending that evening since his good friend was djing there. We didn't make official plans to meet up but mentioned what we'd be wearing and if we saw one another we'd make a point of introducing ourselves. I had planned on going with another girlfriend who was single and started off the evening at her place for some drinks. By the time I showed up at the bar I had completely forgotten that Jimmy may be there and went on to enjoy my evening. By the time Jimmy saw me I barely remembered my name after who knows how many drinks I had thrown back. No matter how stupid I acted that night, he decided to stick around. Even after I spilled a couple of drinks on myself and punched someone in the face, which made us quickly leave the bar before anymore shinanigans could occur. He called me the very next day and asked me out on a date. We've been together ever since. He says: I was utilizing my time wisely at work with surfing the internet one day…….who are we kidding, this was everyday, and I went into xvi.com and had noticed someone had posted pictures of Halifax, so of course I was interested in looking at them. I saw that one picture had a caption underneath it stating, ‘this is Halifax Island’, and I was like, what? So I posted the correct name of the island to that picture and we got into talking here and there via small messages. We both had mentioned that we would be attending an event at one of the lounges in the Market one evening coming and said that we should meet and have a drink together. Well, when I met her I thought that she had possibly promised 30 other people to have a drink with them that same evening for she was (what is the best word I should use here…) smashed! I still stuck it out as we hit it off pretty good all night. I gave her a second chance as I called her back a couple days later for an official date and this one sober. It was since that 1st date we have been together ever since……..no really she just won’t leave my house!!!!
