Love You Schlong Time

i thought this went along nicely with my last post about SO's :) 

and.. btw, i cannot remember the actual words for SO. i figured it out ONCE after pondering over it hard one time.. then.. after that.. it escapes me. so don't ask D: i know it means like your "soul mate" or something.. aaahh! someone help me out, it's bugging the crap out of me!

it's your SIGNIFICANT OTHER!! d'oh!! hahahaha, man. i'm embarrassed. thanks fuz!

Love you schlong time rules:
1. Write down 5-10 ways your relationship ticks and works for you!
2. Include a brief history of how you and your significant other met or a timeline, whichever you prefer
3. Pass this game on to 5 people
**No word limit**

(Warning: This may be lengthy!)

he's very understanding, which enables ME to relax and be more understanding. i'm fairly headstrong, stubborn, etc.. i like to stick to how i do things, have freedom, etc. which is why it's wonderful that he. is. not. jealous. at. all.. mostly because HALF of my good friends (i have 2 "main" groups of friends.. one has 4 girls, the other has 4 guys) are guys. and well, yes there are girls and guys beyond that but when i go out and tell my parents "i'm going to go hang out with THE GIRLS/THE GUYS", they know who i'm talking about. my last ex was very controlling and very jealous--to the point where i lied to him as to who i was with and what i was doing just because i couldn't live my life! 

we're in the same field, which means the same interests. i find (mostly) everything he has to say at least SOME degree of interesting, instead of with my ex's (well, ONE ex, haha) where he LOVED heavy metal and i just couldn't find it in me to be interested in his latest recall of this "awesome mosh pit" experience. also, since our careers are pretty much headed in the same direction, i can pretty much "plan" out the future--which helps me out. he understands what i'm doing and where i'm coming from and what i plan to do--and i for him. it's really great, being able to explain (or complain) about something.. and not having to explain the side story!

there's a lot of similarities (we finish each other's sentences sometimes and OFTEN we say the SAME THING at the SAME TIME.. i gave up saying "jinx"!) but we're both different enough to where it's interesting. we have different personality types, which is great. under carl jung's theories, i'm an INTJ/INFJ and he's an INTP. very similar, no? except J means i'm very methodical, thoughtful (haha!), organized.. and he's not. therefore he's surprised me MANY times and i've gotten better at surprising too (he says he's never been surprised.. HAH. i showed him!). 

we're very comfortable around each other--which is pretty much mandatory, considering we live together. he helps me cook, we clean together, he'll fix the sheets, etc. in other words, he's very considerate of me. there's lots of "please!" and "thank you!" going around--which is good. he shows he appreciates me, and i reciprocate (a problem i had before). i think he gives me at least one compliment a day, and it's not the same one either, and i can tell it's definitely not pre-rehearsed. 

and we're both really goofy--in the same way! we make sounds instead of talking and we're just.. so weird. but we're weird in the same way, so we're weird together, so our combined weirdness is just.. really weird. LOL. though he might be goofier than me--he always can get a smile on my face. even when i'm upset or stressed (or crying), he just does something completely random. and he always keeps me entertained. 

a few other ways why our relationship works so much better than say, previous ones is.. we go out and do things. he'll occasionally be the one to tell ME that we need to go out (and not the other way around, though i do sometimes!) and surprise me with dinner reservations, etc. we'll buy each other presents. he lets me be overly cuddly or affectionate--but isn't really back to me, but when he is, it's super cute :) etc. 

hmm, does that give you enough of an idea? ;)
