Age: 31 in 2 weeks (I'm 25)
How long you've been together: 4 years, 8 months living together 3 years 9 months
Likes: Formula 1, home improvements, beer, painting (art), home theatre junk, his Honda s2000 and s2ki.com forums, skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking, our dog, internet porn, peanuts, wakeboarding, pool, movies, obscure music, me, and my cooking, oh...and HIS MOM.
Dislikes: chain restaurants, getting older, having his palms touched, cracking my back 8 times a day, high fructose corn syrup, poor quality sound systems, drm, spending money, buying gifts, taking shots.
How you met: AWKWARD ALERT: Ok. SO I lived in this student house with 4 roommates and the landlord who is his friend from college and former roommate (I actually moved into his old room) and my landlord and I became INSEPERABLE. We both stopped working to hang out all summer and go sailing in Baltimore because he had this awesome 35ft sailboat. He keeps saying I have to meet this friend of his, and I said no because I was fresh out of a nasty breakup. Tom came into town for work and we all went to eat lunch together. We were then watching a movie and he just got up and left! He was nervous and was close to puking! So the next day I thought he was back in NJ and the landlord and I go off to Baltimore. A mile from the marina he says "oh crap, i forgot i have to eat dinner with my dad" so i was like fine just drop me at the boat and ill wait since i have marina keys....does he do that? NO. Mysteriously Tom was across from the marina at a restaurant so we hung out and had dinner. He was really shy and quiet but I thought he was pretty cute and sweet. Then the landlord comes back and we get on the boat, sail out into inner harbor and Toms phone rings. Who was it? HIS GIRLFRIEND. Yeah. Now hes got his gf on the phone in the boat bathroom which is thisclose to me and the landlord...and we still had to sail back in to shore. A week later I decided I didnt care, I had to have him, so I invited him back to visit. In 3 weeks he broke up with the GF, 3 weeks after that we were dating, and 10 months later convinced him to move out of his townhouse, into a spacious ranch, and to take on a permenent roomie...and here we are.
Sorry so long!
Can I add a question? How about "Where is it headed?" As for us, in a year Im moving back to DC and have yet to determine if hes going to come with me, stay here and do long distance again, or just call it all off...
