(no subject)
A few nights back, we took a road trip to Pilot Mountain, sprawled out on my old sleeping bag and we watched the night sky free of the city lights. Just about every star in the sky rained through the darkness. We huddled together for warmth and watched the shooting stars. We counted seven. I only wished on one of them.
I'm sitting in my grandfather's living room at the moment. I haven't been up to Long Island in about two years, but it's a nice change. He's a smartass packrat and an NPR junkie. There are books and papers and cds on just about every plausible surface, pieces of art and obscure artifacts and modern marvels and candles scattered about... but in a comfortable way. I grew up in this house. The nights are spent over drinks and good company talking, debating and laughing. Usually all three. So much of him I've always had in me, kindred in thought, habits, and humor.
We started a prank war. We at team Optimus Prime forked Kelly's yard. (Spooning leads to forking). Roughly $20 of cutlery and army crawling under cars. Just a friendly knock at the door. Yeah... we so got them. Apparently, they're planning on beasting me whenever I get back.
My head's been swirling with confusion and indecision lately, but I don't mind much. Life's been busy in the best possible way. Things will come to light when they're ready. They always do.
Are you single? Yes
How did your last relationship end? Brutally.
Have you ever cheated on anyone? Never.
Has anyone ever cheated on you? Yes.
What is the shortest relationship you've ever been in? Six months
What is the longest relationship you've ever been in? Two years.
Do you have a type? I've always been a sucker for a feisty woman with lots of heart and a new way to look at the world.
What is your favorite physical trait on the gender of your choice? The way their smile falls across their face.
Surprising turn on? Honestly? Glasses. I don't know what it is, but wow.
Are you friends with most of your exes? With exceptions to the last one, yeah. We're pretty good friends.
Do you have a crush on anyone? Eh, not really.
Are you dating? Casually.
When was the last date you went on? ...Last week?
Do you enjoy dating? I enjoy connecting with people. As long as that happens, how bad can it really be?
Hook-ups? In my experience, they leave a person feeling emptier than before, but I guess they work for some people.
Do you have baggage? The truth about adult relationships is the fact that everyone inevitably has baggage. It's all a matter of how willing you are to grow from it and let it go.
Do you want to get married? There are so many social constructions pressuring people to get married that have no business making sacred life-long promises to each other. If I found the right person, maybe.
What kind of wedding do you want? ... How about finding someone first?
What are you looking for in a significant other?
Creative. Compassionate. Socially aware. Kind. Abstract. Considerate. Strong. Adventurous. Intelligent. Passionate. Polite. Bohemian. Social. Emotionally even-keeled. Quirky. Patient. Non-passive aggressive. Gentle. Good-humored. Honest. Assertive. Unconventional. Open-minded. Willing. Someone who can see through me and strives to understand me anyhow. Someone who can call me out when it's due. And maybe most of all, someone I can learn from.
Best clothing style for a mate? If it suits the person, I’ll like it.
Are you ready for a relationship? I don't see why not.
Do you feel like you'd know the right person if you met them? I certainly hope so...
Are you emotionally retarded? Not generally. I'm sure have my moments.
Are you afraid of commitment? I'm a little weary. People like to get caught up in expectations they're not willing to follow through with. Just enjoy it and let things progress as they will, damn it. I don't say things I don't mean. If I make a promise, I will stand by it, but I'm in no hurry. I'll take it as it comes, whenever that is.
Why are you currently not in a relationship? I'm a firm believer in not being in a relationship for the sake of merely not being alone. I'm not afraid to be alone. Until I'm crazy about someone, fuck it.
What's the worst problem that can happen in a relationship? With exceptions to infidelity? I'd say codependence.
