i dont think i'm alone here, I think it would be sweet to have a minute by minute "A day in the life of Brian" post.

I'll consider this, but I do enjoy that I've been fairly good about being really open with my life while not really telling anything about it.

omg she likes Banksy...
also, yes, i agree (a la @ColleenBurns and @TheNoLookPass). i also had friends (IRL) who wanted to start a dating website for foreign citizens to be set up with someone who is a US citizen so then they get married real quick so the other one gets to be a US citizen. my two friends who came up with this idea are British and Irish citizens. turns out it's kind of illegal...

I know someone that did this - got married to hook up citizenship. It didn't work and they both live in Australia now.

Wow!! Now THAT sounds like the makings of a rip-roaring sequel and/or prequel. Something like "Australia 2: Man Down Under" or "Australia: Origins"....both starring Hugh Jackman of course.

Way back in the dawn of the Internet, somewhere around '96 or '97, I was in a chat room where two people got "married". It was interesting.

intriguing! I like the idea of the community making a judgment. except for the part where I don't. um. see, I like the idea of the two people being held accountable, I guess, if they're serious about it... but I don't like the idea that the community could decide they're not allowed to get internet married. we kinda have enough of that going on in actuality.
also, while I'm really a fan of social networking sites, I've made connections with fantastic people, some of whom I've met in real life & have become close friends with, & I spend way more time than I should on twitter & facebook, I honestly don't get the Second Life thing. I had to join for a class, & while it was fun going skydiving without the paralyzing fear of heights, that was pretty much all I enjoyed about it. I can't imagine meeting someone there & getting married. though I know it happens. I just can't relate. ... aaaanyway. xo

The only way I would do Second Life or something like that is if I got to be Superman or at least had powers of some kind.

You should also have "Internet Bigamist", especially since I'm sure I'm already "internet married" to @kelliesimpson. Mind you, there is the slight issue that I suspect she doesn't actually know about it yet. You'll also need "internet stalker" since there are millions of those little buggers.
Come to think of it, who says we can't have more than one "internet marriage"? It works for some cultures (and religions).
And how would an "internet marriage" differ from a real marriage? You'd be physically separated by a few 1000 miles in most cases, so just like a 'real marriage', the sex would be the same. (i.e. in ones head or non-existent). (Am trying to avoid getting into a "virtual relationship" scenario here).
Would "internet marriage" work better than 'real life marriage'? I certainly know some couples who would actually talk more. But then the potential for "internet nagging" would be exponentially massive which is a far more scarier thought.

i am very much bothered by your alternation from double to single quotation marks, so much so that i couldn't actually read this comment. wtf.

I usually ignore the "grammar/layout Nazi police", but when it comes from someone who can't remember where the caps lock / shift key is, it is sort of like the pot calling the kettle black.
I do suspect dat f I had RitN it n txt spk, U wud hav undRstD it much BetA.
But, holding head down in shame, I did re-read it back myself and it annoyed the buggery out of me too. My bad for typing at 200mph but proof reading at 2. Consider myself told off, wrists slapped and I'll try harder next time, just for you... (Now I'm paranoid that my ... will get on your tits too, or damn, will the () do it instead).
Oh what the heck, one more just for you... "Heil Grammatik"

Issues like dual marriages are why this would be fun - it's all put to a vote or something.
