You know the awesome thing about dating another aspie? We can ramble on and on about stuff and not have to worry about boring the other. ^_^ The other day, Damien was going on for about 20 minutes about Pokemon, about some of the individual pokemon, differences in the Japanese vs. the American version of the movie that introduced Mewtwo, and how the Japanese version was far more sympathetic towards Mewtwo, and so on. I've never seen an episode of Pokemon in my life (although I'd probably enjoy watching it with him), but I enjoyed listening to him. Likewise, I can ramble on about things and know that he'll enjoy listening to them, too. Like, I'm really looking forward to showing him my coin collection when he gets in. ^_^
It reminds me of one time when I was probably somewhere around 10-12 or so, and I was somewhere with my mom. I don't think my brother was there, I'm not sure where he was. Anyways, I was going on and on about something I'd recently read, something about etymology, and my mom said something about "I hope you don't talk about things like that when you're dating some day". Ha! If only she knew who I'd end up with. :-)
