3rd Anniversary
Well, today is my and Brian's third anniversary. In some ways, I'm just taking it in a stride ("Hey, it was two years last year, of course it's three years now! Besides, I have tons of school work to do."), but in some ways, it strikes me that it is indeed quite a long time. Often, I find myself comparing three years to the rest of my life -- at which it seems like a humble period of time. Indeed, even comparing it to the portion of my life which has already been (18 years), 3 years is not very much. Still, sometimes, like I said, it seems to me a long time. Certainly I've grown during these years. Certainly, at the beginning of our relationship, I envisioned a future where we lived together -- but that future was only a vision, a dream, and now it is becoming reality, and I think we're ready for it.
At any rate, whether 3 years is a long or short period of time, I am happy for those three years, and look forward to many more (and hopefully, once we're married, we won't have to argue about whether our anniversary is on the 8th or the 9th =P).
Brian made a cute animation (or perhaps cute isn't the word so much as funny) about our anniversary in some online talkshow creator, which was quite entertaining.
Anna: Welcome to Anna and Brian show, featuring me, Anna--
Brian: And me, the man with an IQ of a bunny, the magnificent Brian!
Anna: Today's show is about our anniversary--
Brian: ...anniversary? Oh, shit.
Anna: You mean you forgot?
Brian: I totally didn't, I was just distracted by my legos!
Anna: How could you!
Brian: I'm so sorry. I build you this hospital out of legos, all for you!
Anna: Screw you! In a minute you're going to be the one needing a hospital!
Brian: No Anna, don't do it! Think of the children!
Anna: Children? We don't even HAVE children! And if we did, you'd probably want to name them something dumb like Evicor [character from a video game] or Lily Rapuntzel Rasputin Janet Carolus the third!
Brian: Well, you must admit, that it is a pretty memorable name!
Anna: Now you're just asking for it! Security, you better get this sleezeball of a man out of here before I kill him in my amazonian rage!
Brian: Wait, Anna! I can make it up to you! This sweater I'm wearing, I made it just for you from the finest reeds along the nile, I sheared wool from the siberian ox, I braved the perils of Greece in order to attain the golden fleece, I imbued it with splinters from the arc of the covenant and finished it with hair from my own head, which is why I'm now wearing this stylish, yet out-dated, stocking cap, to hide my baldness and shame, and instead grow this beard on my face to compensate. This tremendous blow to my self-esteem -- and I did it all for you!
Anna: ... that's the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me! I have this sudden strange urge to forgive you for forgetting our anniversary!
Brian: Well, I am a man after all.
This conversation was carried out in strange robotic voices reminiscent of Microsoft Sam. =P At least he didn't forget our anniversary ... even though he couldn't remember whether I usually want the 9th or whether he does, and thought he was doing me a favor in claiming the 8th was our anniversary! Oh, time difference, look what you do to me!
