Can I get a witness?

A reptile resides in our backyard. I witnessed it basking under the spring sun three days ago, oblivious to the goddess-like creature who approached it and took a photo. :D This ‘lizard’ looked like a dry tree branch from afar but lucky I didn’t touch it. It’s feeding on the snails that have multiplied like rabbits thanks to recent showers and an ( Read more... )

Wise words m. I have the same problem with my gf right now but luckily I'm one person who resets my mood on a daily basis, meaning I forget about the bad situations of the past, I let go of things that I can't change and just learn from them. To make this clear here is a great example ( go back to studying if you're busy).

The most recent movie I went to see in the theater was "Coffee and Cigarettes"... and that was a compromise from both extremes: 'Collateral' on my side and 'Stepford Wives' on my gf's side.
The truth is the movie was not that good and the compromise was a mistake.
My girlfriend likes old tv shows, black and white movies from the 60's, coffee and also like to fill her days with walks and shopping...I'm on the other side of the spectrum. I like to watch sports on TV, new blockbuster action movies, drink coffee only when tired and I pretty much like my day to be empty and free.
Somewhere in time we came together and now live half of our initial lives... every once in a while one of us refuse to compromise and torture the other but the reality is we found a balance.
Long comment...I'm sorry.
Good luck with the exam.

long comments are always welcome! :) and i promised myself to check lj and emails AFTER exams.

yeah, i've checked ur gf's lj and you two seem quite different. (but lj reveals a mere speck of who we are though so can't really say).

compromises are good as long as you're both happy. and no one said couples HAVE to do the same things all the time. i think it becomes unhealthy only when you start feeling deprived of that which makes you really happy or that which will make you grow as a person.

coffee and cigarettes as a compromise. lol.
