It's... a long story. I guess, to try and summarize? I was pulled into a roleplay board on Neopets by a friend of mine, Michael (or GothicRedneck on VT), and Taph was in that board. The three of us roleplayed pretty much nightly, and then one night, she wasn't around. I then noticed her NeoStatus was "Gone to Ozzfest," and Ozzfest is a metal festival. Now, see, I'm a HUGE fan of heavy metal music in (almost) all of its forms. So I dropped her a message, we started talking, we hit it off... and yeah. There's a lot more to it than that, but there are a lot of personal details in the mix of how things came to be, too.

That's the beginning of the story, though. Taph came into my life when I absolutely needed her the most, and she's been there in those crucial moments since then that it seemed that the world was going to swallow me, helped me back up on my feet. If you're reading this, Taph, I love you. <3

Her, me, and Mikey are peas in a pod. She's who found VT and pulled me and Mike to it, too. : 3

How's that for an answer? ; p
