But My Boyfriend Is

Review of But My Boyfriend Is has been posted over at WordPress.

In short:  liked it a lot, especially the non-romance relationship with the MC's twin and them dealing with becoming adults and not living in each other's pockets any longer.

TMI:  I find adult twins who went to college together and who work together and live together to be fascinating

The few sets of twins I knew growing up couldn't wait to get away from one another, lol. In my adult life, I only know two sets of twins. One of them is a pair of girls I went to school with - they have trailers next door to one another now, but until a couple years ago one of them was in a different state - and the other is yall. So. Idk. I could imagine living with one of my siblings (obvsly) but not working together and doing everything together, twin or not.

I get living close. I'd love to live closer to H but that would take a complete career change or a very fortuitous job offer. It's more the whole staying together that I find odd, especially of they have the same general job? And that's not even a twin thing in some ways: there's a newly engaged couple at work who live together, commute together, share an office, do the same job in the group with only slight differentiation. How? Don't they get sick of each other at some point?

Of course, I've been told that the amount of alone time I need is unreasonable...

H just needs to come to the East Coast. I keep saying this! lol. But yeah, I know couples like that - they live together, work together, spend their outside-of-work time together, share friends, etc. I don't get it.

I would move back if we could both get jobs there. But companies that need chemists who do enhanced oil recovery science are, oddly enough, mostly located in petro and mining hubs. Texas, some in CO and WY, etc.

Actually, Aaron's boss requested my cv and asked if I'd like to work for Dow at the Freeport facility, but if I commuted with Aaron and worked with him all day on top of living together, I predict there would be a divorce or a homicide within a short period of time. I need alone-time.

There's always the Marcellus shale reserve in PA... *ducks and runs*

[asimplechord]

Is that the field that is currently being fought over for fracking? Because I have enough issues with Dow putting more chemicals down spent wells; if Aaron switched to a fracking project I'm not sure how either of us would feel about it.

[jmc_bks]

Yes, thus the duck & run.

I just like to give you a hard time, lol.
