So, this ones a little different than other posts. Be aware.
A long time ago in a distant call center really not all that far away, the forces of awesome collided with the forces of evil. From that collision was born a “Dragon Ball Z” like friendship of mutual respect tinged with a desire to see the other person get mangled or fall down the stairs . Nothing serious…but still bad enough to leave a scar one could always point at and laugh.
From the friendship grew a romance and attraction that oddly coincided with my roommate telling me we were making him uncomfortable with all the …noise.
After that the romance simmered down a little bit and the real relationship begin. Fights about important stuff like whether tuna noodle casserole should have peas in it, or if a superheroes powers made sense or not (they still don’t, and that’s just bad writing). Also though an appreciation of what the other brought to the table, someone to bounce ideas off of and just whine too that your tired or need something to drink, but the fridge is toooo far.
From there came …actual life choices. House, kids, shared bank accounts, “datenights”, pets, who turns the lights off, who makes more money, why cant you throw the trash away, why don’t you close doors, car repairs, trust funds, tire replacement program, net flix subscriptions. Appropriate use of video games and the impact on societal changes in adolescents 14 years and older. A really good discussion on the correct usage of the word Marfan. How to make a sprinkler system the dispenses human waste and how that might affect members of society
Thoughts on what is OK to bring into the bed with us…like a cat or……another cat.
After 10 years of all that. I wearily looked at this force of evil and I thought. Would I do it differently. Would I give up the fights and annoying social habit, odious personal traits and general unwillingness to ever do anything that I enjoy. Would I take back that 6 hours of pride and prejudice. Would I restock my house with steak and add as much brown sugar to my tomato sauce as I want. Play my video games till whenever I want. Live in a house where any trash I made was only mine. Have friends over anytime I want without having to make some damn 1 month schedule check to see if its OK. Go out of town and not have to ask anyone anything about anything. Not have 2 cats I don’t want. Own a hedgehog. Have a freezer empty of …meatless foods. Be able to sleep till whenever I want without having to let some animal go outside at 4 in the goddamn morning. Put my awesome statues on any flat space available. Go see movies whenever I like without having to worry about whether some other person wanted to see but will actually NEVER GO…….
Be free.
Its safe to say. I made the right decision and would not change any of it any time for any reason.
Congrats on 10 years baby doll. Let’s make it to 20
