All right not that any of you read my LJ anymore for whatever your reason. I still feel the need to point out the fact that I am slowly being converted into a nerd! WTF?!?!?! Nah actually it's pretty cool, I've gone absolutely video game nuts, well video/computer.. My collection is ever growing thanks to the man responsible for getting me hooked all over again.
See I USED to be a nerd as a child, then got all girlie and long forgot all this. Now having been dating a nerd for the last year (and like two months or something to such effect) he has once more turned me back into a nerd! For Christmas he bought me the gameboy micro, which is the cutest thing ever! He also bought me every nintendo game I ever liked! Plus a carebear one! (For those of you who actually take the time to read this and did not know, I am a carebear fanatic, more so than I ever have been with Rainbow Brite.. ) So anyway, he has also purchased BOTH of the Buffy games for Xbox for me, seeing as he has an Xbox (and every other system with the exception of Sega Master, which I have) and I spend my weekends with him. ooo! I almost have Chaos Bleeds beat! Woohoo! I have one more body part to retrieve then it's on to the bosses! Then I can go back to trying to beat the first one lol. I am not as far along in that one because of the fact when I started it I had rented it, then he bought Chaos Bleeds and I got addicted to that and when we finally found the first one I was too used to the fighting style of the second.. so I want to beat it before I switch back to the older fighting style.
So as for computer games, I have been checking out WoW... and I am getting mighty interested.. which isn't good! I can't afford to get addicted to that, and also I lack the time. But lately he's been playing it again like every chance he gets so I've been watching.. (among other things while he plays.. O.o)
Now for those of you who know how much I complained to or about both David and Chris for getting anywhere near a video/computer game... and I not only don't complain about Ben's time on either but actually pay for a good portion of it.. There is good reason! See both David and Chris got all off in their own world, and I'm sorry I was raised an only child so I like my attention damnit! Well with Ben I never lack for attention in any sense of the word. He never gets mad at me if I am the reason one of his games is interupted or he can't attend something on WoW because of me (though I try for this never to happen anyway.) It took me a while to even get him to play WoW on the weekends because I think he was afraid I would get mad or something, and had he been anyone else I would have. However because of the way he goes about things I don't mind at all! I mean he still talks to me, he'll explain things about the game to me, when he has his headset on he has one side off so he can hear me, even if all he's hearing is me laughing at something on my laptop. Now when that happens of course he turns around to find out what I am laughing about, he stays interested in me too! Plus our sex life isn't suffering either. Generally I think if he had to chose between sex and WoW, sex would win hands down, even though he knows he could easily have both any time he wants.. Lemme 'lone.. the man addicted me to more than one thing..
See that's the thing, we don't fight like I've fought in past relationships.. We have our disagreements I assure you, I KNOW I drive him completely insane and frustrate the heck out of him. But he never yells, he has gotten close to mad once, I let him say his peace and we were fine. He loves me no matter what.. And boy does he show it! I've done things with him I fought not to do with both my ex's.. like watching the history channel for example.. yes that means without complaint or attitude I actually have watched it.. especially when it gets into the military stuff.. Now granted a lot of it bores the shit out of me, but he's so funny when he gets all into it. Same thing with his video games though.
I guess it all boils down to the fact I'm loved, it's something I see day in and day out. We agree on the important things. Like the need for personal space, and neither gets upset though.
And did I mention I'm a NERD?!
