The Meme of Us
How long have you been together? Well, I suppose that depends. I wasn’t aware that we were dating until my friend Jenn told me so. Apparently, Jas had told her a couple days after our first kiss that we’d started dating, but he’d never said anything about it to me. We decided our official date of being "together" would be September 10, 2000. It’s been 7.5 years so far.
How long did you date? We got married June 18, 2005, so we were dating almost 5 years before the wedding. (We would have been married on September 10, 2005, as it was a Saturday that year, but the place we wanted the wedding was booked. Dammit.)
How old is he? He just turned 30 February 13th. So him!
Who eats more? Jas does. The man can pack away food like no one I’ve ever met.
Who said ‘i love you’ first? He did. I was too nervous, as we hadn’t been dating very long when I realized I did love him.
Who is taller? He is 9" taller than me, but his jeans are only 3" longer than mine. Go legs!
Who is smarter? Again, that depends. He is much book smarter than I am (as you can tell by my grammar), but I am much better with logic puzzles and common sense type smarts. It irritates him that I scored MUCH better on the LSAT practice exams, and yet he has better grades than I do.
Who does the laundry? Both of us. Laundry is constantly going in our apartment. The washer is TINY, so we can’t do a lot at a time. He does his own laundry, and I do mine plus the linens usually.
Who does the dishes? Huge bone of contention here. I shall skip this one.
Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? If you’re standing at the foot board looking at the pillows, then Jas sleeps on the right. It used to be reversed, but I hate cold air being blown on me, so we switched in the summer when the A/C was on all the time. I want to switch back, since he sleeps on his right, thereby snoring directly into my ear.
Who pays the bills? I do. He pays insurance. I pay everything else.
Who mows the lawn? We have no lawn. He cleans off Mia’s porch more often than I do, even though it’s supposed to be my job.
Who cooks dinner? We don’t often eat together, and even when we do, we usually make our own food. I’ve tried cooking for both of us more recently, but stopped due to the aforementioned dishes issue.
Who is more stubborn? We’re both pretty stubborn, but I’m more open about my stubbornness. Jas likes to think he’s pretty easy going. He can be, but when his mind is made up about something, trying to change it is like moving a concrete block with a toothpick.
Who kissed who first? He kissed me first. I’d gone over to his new place to help him unpack, and we ended up watching Anaconda with Jennifer Lopez. As the credits rolled, I turned to tell him I was going home, and he kissed me! Shocked the heck out of me.
Who asked who out? Well, since he started telling people we were going out before he bothered to tell me, I’m going to say he asked me out.
Who proposed? Jas did. My favorite holiday is the 4th of July, so he took me to see the fireworks at Anaheim Stadium. Except the place we watched them from was right UNDER the fireworks. Ashes and embers rained down on us the entire time. He decided that wasn’t the ideal proposal situation, so he drove me down to the beach where we first really spent time together (before we’d even started dating) and proposed. I still say he proposed on the 4th, but since it was 12:05AM on the 5th, he tells everyone he proposed on the 5th.
Who is more sensitive? Me. Hands down, no contest.
Who has more friends? What a strange question. Well, I’d say he does, if we’re counting actual real life face-to-face people. He’s very social and can talk with anyone about anything for hours. I, however, am very anti-social. I am not comfortable in large groups, even if it’s people I know. If, however, we are counting friends that include online people, I have far more than he does. He doesn’t believe you can be friends with someone you’ve never met face-to-face. His loss!
