Bittersweet
Overall it was a good weekend. Chris and I went up north to visit the Hayward House, so I could find my sanity that was apparently buried between the sofa cushions. I couldn't dig it out, so I just left it there. I also made the decision that I cannot relax when Chris is with me because I cannot split my attentions as easily as he thinks. I am worried that I will say something that will piss him off and that puts me in a very unagreeable mood. As Rico and Jan-mo discovered at Japantown on Sunday. Although I love him dearly, I can't bring these two parts of my life together, and they will never meld together so smoothly as I would like. I have to give it up. Six years later, and I finally have to give up.
On the other hand, I did get to play Karaoke Revolution and watch Rico woo me with his Percy Sledge impersonation. That made my weekend.
After arguing with Chris in the car for half the ride home, I concluded that I can never change him. I don't really want to. I can't have my cake and eat it too. And that was that.
We spent the rest of the car ride listening to 80's songs on my iPod Nano, picking which songs should have been included in Karaoke Revolution instead. That, and we sang Prince songs like there was no tomorrow. This may seem odd to everyone else, but I wouldn't give up those hours for anything.
After all, it's a bittersweet cake to everyone else but us.
