Truly Madly Deeply

Hanging out with someone for a few hours here and there is ENTIRELY different than living with someone. I know this. I've lived with many different people. Some I enjoyed living with, others I wanted to strangle. I won't differentiate which was which.

Spending a weekend with someone... like 24 hours a day/all weekend with someone is different than living with them or hanging out for a few hours.

I think spending a full weekend with someone is a bit of a sneakpeek of what living with them might entail. You see how late they stay up, how late they sleep in, if they prefer showering at night or during the day. You find out how and what they like to eat, what they prefer to drink, how many times they pause a movie to pee or smoke. You find out what small things annoy them, and what little things they do that may annoy you. You get a look at their day to day quirks. You see how helpful they can be.

I got this sneakpeek with A this weekend. My parents went away so he came to keep me company/help me take care of the dogs and Boog. He cam more just to hang out/spend time with me I guess. It was nice being able to hang out and do nothing. MM took us to Walmart because Boog wanted to get a new movie with birthday money and A bought Avator and Eclipse so we watched the first half of Avatar and then Eclipse once Boog went to bed. I fell asleep during Eclipse since I was wiped and I've seen it before.

We hung out for a bit in the hot tub to try to help my ankle that has been hurting off and on for a month. Ugh! I made A and Boog pancakes for breakfast but neither of them liked them so that sucked. I made broccoli and cheddar soup, chicken, and mashed potatoes for dinner. MM and TH are always appreciative when I cook when the parents are gone. TH actually requested the soup when she found out the parents were leaving and I'd be cooking. :)

We watched Paranormal Activity. A is uneasy in my house because he feels like there's something in it, and more than one. I feel safer in that house than I have any others I've ever been in so I assumed my uncle was the spirit in it because I feel secure there but maybe not. I've always felt something there but I never thought there might be more than one. Hmm.

I'm glad I got to spend the weekend with him so I could learn little things about him.

I found out how he likes his eggs, that he likes coffee to be made disgustingly, and that he compliments my makeup after watching me put it on. I found out that he likes to skip to a new song before the one he's listening to is on, which I tend to do. I found out he likes to watch silly videos online. I found out that even when spending 24 hours a day with me, he still compliments me all of the time. I found out he prefers to sleep against a wall which is tricky since I do too. I found out he's a little too sensitive and I worry how he'll take my dad's joking. I found out he can be a little snappy when annoyed. I found out that he asks me what's wrong as soon as my mood changes, before I've said a word...  he's very good at sensing mood shifts. I found out he apologizes when he realizes he's hurt my feelings. I found out I care about him more today than I did yesterday, and I will tomorrow more than today.
