[no,this is not my idea of marriage, calm yourselves
(what'd she eat anyhow? a spicy tuna roll?)]
a random excerpt from a random post off rbj:
"i love being married to a person who makes me laugh.
usually, it's not because he's trying to make me laugh. take yesterday for example, j [not me] and i were looking through the sunday paper (sunday mornings are our favourite, because it is the one day of the week that we can sleep in together, have eggs & toast for breakfast together, and read through the sunday paper/comics together (j works on saturdays) and as i looked through the target ads (i LOVE target), i saw some sofa slip covers that i thought were cute.
"hey, why don't we get slip covers for our couches?"
he looks up at me for a moment, and says,
"why dont we just crochet instead?"
(translation: old people use slip covers. old people crochet. i'd rather crochet than use slip covers.)
most times, i'm laughing at him, rather than with him. because his mind moves faster than his lips, and he can never quite transpose his thoughts into words fast enough for the world outside his head to comprehend them. about 70% of what comes out of his mouth usually doesn't make sense, which i love about him because i think it's cute.
i like that anecdote. it reminds me of me. and no, i dont have a big ego. i am that guy...very similar to her hubby.
and i think when i eventually get married, id want my wifey and i to love eachother for those things; the little quirks that define a person's personality. i dont wanna get all sentimental in this post but isn't that what most people
yearn for (sorry, i just had to use that word, as i saw it on an old seinfeld episode yesterday between a conversation between george and kramer), to be wanted or needed regardless of our flaws? im not perfect. shoot, nobody's perfect. it just matters when two people are perfect for eachother (keep your 'awwws' to yourself...didnt i read that quote on someone's asianavenue page back in the day?). i just think it'd be really satisfying and cool to hear my wife say, "yea jay's a fucking idiot, but i love him - so sue me!". i'd love her for that. but enough of this marriage talk, that's
waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay down the road for me (i think so/i plan so). but then again, all of that can just spontaneously happen beyond my control...sorta like that spontaneous combustion or that flesh eating disease. im not saying marriage is harsh like that..oh shit..i didnt mean that either. im not saying marriage is harsh at all(.) i'd like to get marri- ah forget it.
told yall i dont make sense (i make dolla-dollars!).
oh!
