Bored at school today.
Stolen from valeriana....
The Basics
What is your name? Amanda
What is the love of your life's name? Billy, who I talk about often here.
How did you meet? At St. Mary's University, where I'd come to for my upper-division work and he'd been attending because his father worked, making tuition a breeze. We met in the corner, pre-The Corner, where I'd been sitting for weeks and he'd suddenly appeared in one day next to Andrew (still then my Random Man). It was one of those breeze hello's between us without much conversation, as he was focused on his computer, and most-likely, a game.
When did you meet? Early in September 2005.
What were your first thoughts? Not much actually. Tall boy, with curly hair, who was a little anti-social in his confusion over the sudden group which flooded around him within moments of meeting him. Mostly I just wanted him to feel comfortable and not excluded from the conversation, since Andrew and Joseph had him there that day.
What/where was your first date? This is deliberated in my mind really. Our first official date is November 24, 2005, though the first thing that comes to mind is the not-a-date in late October.
How old were both of you? I was 23, he was 22.
When did he/she meet your family? For my mother and Gordon, a dinner they treated us to a handful of months into our relationship. For my father, a few months ago.
What did your family think? My mothers opinions seemed, as usual, relegated to the fact he made me laugh and smile, treated me well, and seemed so far to have a good plan in mind for school to graduation (including, at that time, my plan to go to London). I don't really remember what Gordon or my father said, I’m sure the first had something to do with wanting hard proof of future plans with sardonic doubt thrown in and the second some, not well worded, joking about protecting his baby should he hurt me....neither of them mattered really in that arena.
When did he/she meet your friends? Oh, see, this is the crazy thing. He met The Corner with me, as it was forming all around us, but he met my Carrie, my Cat, and my grandmother that fall, all before he was single or we started dating. Except for my grandmother, who he met the day of our first date, during her Thanksgiving trip.
What did your friends think? The Corner, of course, already loved him, because he was one of them, though they were baffled for months to why we weren't dating. My best friends thought it was a potentially harmful situation if it didn't change, but that when they saw us together we seemed to belong together. My grandmother's conversation I remember because it made me smile, and almost, because she called him an 'upstanding and polite boy' for all he'd done the day before just for her.
Have you talked about marriage yet? I think we started talking about marriage last spring. Though I think to be more specific to our familial and religious situations, we address it as 'marriages'.
What is the marriage verdict? I think the last discussion about it, and there are many as it's a concurrent topic to our continual relationship, was that we'd need to go look at rings together someday so he'd know what kind of rings I like.
Have you talked about kids yet? Yes.
How long into the relationship was your first argument? The first serious one; eight months in.
What did you argue about? His ex-girl friend and writing (unrelated, but they culminated together); more specifically, breaking promises and dishonesty through purposeful omission.
The fun stuff
Who flirted first? That would be me. He was Billy, for whom there was an official 'hullabaloo', and we didn't know until two or three weeks after meeting him he had a girl friend. He was very private about his real life away from the school, even when we tried to pry, so color our amazement bright when he made a sudden inserted comment about having a ballerina himself into an impromptu conversation about sex and limberness.
How did you know he/she was into you? I could list a multitude of things, but, for the most part, it was the poetry. It's like looking at the code of someone's heart.
Did he/she use a pick-up line? If so, what was it? Thankfully, no.
What is longest you have gone without seeing each other? A week. But usually there's some modicum of conversation during that in a different way, too.
Were you friends before dating? Yes.
Do you like the same sports teams? I'm actually pretty luck on this one. Neither of us are that interested in sports on our own, though we can feign good focus and interest on it in the company of people who are celebrating as fans with us.
When did you meet his/her friends? I met Petey in March 2006. Interacted with Sarah Jane later that spring through a game. I met Carly in July. Added Leslie in , through Lj, a handful of days after that. I've still yet to meet Joey, though I've been promised a Lan night sometime. These count as some of the most important people, before it peters out into simply other gamers.
How do you feel about his/her friends? Petey is cool to hang out with, from eating, to talking, to writing, to gaming. I have residual issues with Sarah Jane, based on the situation from the spring, and the game, as I like to be treated with respect. Carly is bubbly and bouncy, filled with life; I wouldn't mind getting to know her more, but she's understandably more dedicated to Kat, Billy's ex-girl friend and her best friend. Leslie is just too cool. I do mean it. From the wedding day docs (which I sooo will have!), the music, the photo's and just the way she thinks. Joey....seems interesting. I've heard them talk together, his parents and friends talk about them, but very little knowledge there.
When you are both in the car, do you agree on the music? He's very old/early rock and I'm all over the chart (except rap). We match up wonderfully in all trip-hop (...I was so tempted to write pop...), soundtracks and scores. We actually do amazingly well in cars, as we both need the music, love the speed, and enjoy to travel.
Did you get nervous before the first date? Yes, and yes, and yes. I remember my hands trembling when it was an hour away.
The Hardships
Have you been through anything really tough together? Mhm.
Have you come close to breaking up? I've considered it seriously twice, but never mentioned it.
Why? Deceit, broken promises, lack of serious effort
Why did/do you feel it was/is important to work things out? Because I am whole heartedly in love with him, as he says he is with me, and we are young. We're in a place in life where everything is changing, including our places in the world, what we want, and who we are. This means a lot of communication and compromise. It means being willing to take on all the weight, mistakes, upsets and hard work, without walking away, because we both feel this relationship is going to be long term.
Has he/she seen you cry? Yes.
Has he/she made you cry? How? Yes; writing, girls, dishonesty, absence
Have you made him/her cry? yes
Why? Argument, guilt, jeopardy to the relationship
What do you do to fix problems in your relationship? We take time out from our days, both in person and through other interactions, to talk about exactly what’s bothering us or what’s caused things to go wrong. Then we spend time working to change those things so their working better.
The Ummm.... Personal Stuff
Who held hands first? I really have no idea. The Corner was touchy then. We had naps of four or five people in the make-shift couch bed at school and in my bed at home. I know I had to take his hand to lead him the night he was really drunk from the Flying saucer (very-pre-relationship). I think we'd always been very touchy group, but I don't remember handholding as important except that night, when I was leading him from the ampatheatre to a bench to rest....though on the first date it was me, in the movie theatre.
What was the first kiss like? (on the cheek, the lips, etc.) It was like being set on fire. He was talking against the side of my mouth after we'd finished watching Waking Ned Divine, discussing the fact we shouldn't be sitting like this because we were supposed to be waiting two or three weeks after his break-up before anything was considered.
Who kissed who first? I'm going to go with 'we did', since that is still an on going debate.
How did you feel after that first kiss? Terrified, but exhilarated. It led to a week of almost absolutely no touching, because I didn't want to be some rebound from his relationship with Kat.
Who made the first "big" move? Him
How did you feel? He curled around me from behind at naptime, and whispered that he loved me, two days into our relationship. This normally would have scared the hell out of me and put me off the relationship. But there it was and there was no pressure for me to say anything. It was simply a statement the way he said. Like he was telling me to look at a flower, be aware of the sunshine or the blue sky. It was just a beautiful thing with no demands on me, which I fell asleep with in mind within the minute.
I felt blessed.
How long into the relationship did you umm... do the "deed"? This still makes me blush. Three days. I made one boy wait five years basically, another wait five months, both times feeling not quite sure when it did come about, but with him it was different. He felt right, we'd been near, dear, almost best friend, companions in each others lives for three months, and he was so gently sweet with me before, especially in the stopping of kissing things one night. I think it shocked him more than me though, since he'd come out of relationship with a younger woman for whom the option was not there yet.
No regrets. It wasn't too soon or the wrong time. It was just us doing one more thing that was right for us at the right time.
Are things in the bedroom still 'hot'? Yes.
Your Friends and Your Guy/Girl
Do any of your friends absolutely hate him/her? Nope
Do you go on group dates? Not a lot of them, but there are some, as we have couples we've done things with.
Does your guy/girl consider any of your friends to be his or hers? Tons. The Corner and others.
Do any of your friends talk bad about your partner to you? No. We have some speculative talk about ourselves, in general as people, for better and worse in The Corner.
Does what your friends think affect your relationship? They were my check guard in a bad relationship before, so I do listen and then weigh things against my own thoughts and our work. But they are only a critic opinion and it's ours that matter in the end, not theirs.
Firsts together
Movie? Walk The Line
Restaurant? Le Madeline
Drink? Iced Tea
Secret? In many ways it was our relationship, because we both knew he ex-girl friend would go a little crazy and we were both her friends, and concerned for her, at the time. It was kept on the shelf that way here, except that all my friends knew about it.
Promise? That he wouldn't push or tease me after the first night we discussed liking each other, but staying simply friends because he was in a relationship he was working hard to make work. I honestly thought, until the night he was breaking up with her, that we would simply be friends, I'd just like him a bit more than my other guys, and I'd eventually find someone else of interest.
Lie? I point to The Inquisition on this one. Was the first time I felt abandoned in his word.
Purchase? That would be the tickets to 'Batboy'.
All night talk session? Log lost now, but it was the night of his family coming into town due to the bad storm that was news cast was saying would be like Katrina. Very, very early in friendship.
Long trip? In area; Lost Pines Boy Scout Camp (with The Corner). In state; Big Bend (with his parents). Out of state; New Hampshire/Massachusetts/Maine.
Inside Joke? I was Billy's Muse and Companion.
Superbowl? This past year, with Lavern. It was amazing. The dip was good, the commercials were cute, and we all stopped watching to watch Fantastic Four in the middle.
First Holidays Together
First New Years (year): 2006
What did you do and where were you? In my bed, finally getting to enjoy my bed after returning from being in Alabama dealing with Phoenix's family and funeral.
Your Birthday (date): 05/03/2006
Where did go, what did you get from your partner? I went out to dinner with my parents, while he stayed home with me later. And he gave me hope and faith in my future, which was more important than any gift, while my schools was putting me through hell with financial aide and my London program falling through.
Valentine's day (year): 2006
What did you get/receive?: Nothing.
Easter Sunday (date)? 2006
Where did you go? To CMA's Beltane camping event.
Whose mom did you see on mother's day? Both, with deliveries of vases full of tulips to both.
Did you celebrate Memorial Day? How? Ummm....I don't this so.
Did you celebrate fourth of July? Yep, I went out to The Clan and did food w/ fire works, avoiding my then oppressive roommate.
Halloween: 2006
What were you both? Where did you go? How did you celebrate? I dressed up as a school girl and went to The Corner's Halloween Part at Victoria's house. We watched movies, we all brought food, we all had drinks, and did bobbing for apples. I even won a costume award.
Thanksgiving: 2006
Where did you go, how did you celebrate? His two different families, who've so adopted me. They have tons and tons of food, then watch family movies and it's a blast. Also, this is the first time I met his father's family, as well.
Christmas: 2005
What did you get/receive? Where did you celebrate? How? I spent this Christmas in a lot of ways, though we only spent pieces of it together due to Phoenix dying on December 22. I did spend Christmas with his mother's family though. He gave me James Joyce (Dubliners, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Chamber Music), Cosmos by Carl Sagan, Brief History of Time by Steven Hawking, spiral/pen/poem, fancy scrap book, bracelet
His/Her birthday: 12/16/2005

How much do you REALLY Know? (About your partner...)
Birthday? December 16, 1983
Parent's names? Susan and William
Pet's Names? Sweetie, now, but originally named Vincent
Favorite Food? I go with nothing on this. He likes all sorts of food. He has assortments of comfort foods, but really he loves all sorts and experimenting with others.
Favorite Song? Not a specific that I know of, just a huge amount of music. Though more Trip-hop than anything else.
Favorite color? Brown, green, blue, beiges.....he lacks decisiveness in this, believe me, I know.
Favorite Animal? He likes cats.
Favorite TV Show? Anything Alton Brown and Myth Busters, then it's anime
Favorite sports team? There isn't one.
Favorite Movie? Too many to count.
Dream Car? I don't have a clue.
Where was he/she born? Texas
Where did he/she grow up? Texas
Who is his/her best friend? This is hard....one ne hand I'd say myself, now, or Petey, maybe. He doesn't have many people he keeps that close.
Worst Fear? Living in anonymity, or without having done something grand to be remembered for, the rest of his life.
Biggest Celebrity crush? He hasn't ever mentioned even one. He's not a big fan of the whole society focus on it.
Pants size? 30/30 or 31/30
Shirt size? 15 to 15 1/2 x 34
Shoe size? 10 1/2
Some relationship Randoms!
Do you share money? Checking account, savings, stock, etc.? Not at present.
What was your first major purchase together? I don't think we've honestly made one yet.
Do you live together? Nope.
Are you planning anything major right now? Actually, yes.
What? (trips, marriage, family, buying a car together): In the fall, we're presently planned to move across country and live together.
Is there anything you wish was different? Very little. Most of the issues end up resolving themselves, even if it takes a few months of a lot longer.
What? I wish TI had gone differently, or the way he treated the end of the last game.
Would you have done anything differently up until now? No. The place we're at is the sum of all the bad and good.
Do you see a real, successful future together? Completely.
Quite bored today. Quite. And sore. Very, very sore. Roller-skating two nights ago, and ice skating last night, my legs mostly hate me now. I hurt my ankle last night which has moved more up into my hip since this morning. Walking isn't too bad, but crossing my legs is out of the question. I'm resigned against today, as Earl will be leaving tonight. Which makes me sniffy. I'm supposed to cook a dessert for the dinner taking place at his fathers house tonight. I don't like acknowledging things are going to be ending. It's been so much like old times.
Watching Citizen Kane with commentary in the Film Class at present. Need to work on an oil for Billy at home and make a list for things to gather for Saturday's ritual activities. Just blah. Hungry, too.

Some relationship Randoms!
Do you share money? Checking account, savings, stock, etc.? Not at present.
What was your first major purchase together? I don't think we've honestly made one yet.

Are you planning anything major right now? Actually, yes.
What? (trips, marriage, family, buying a car together): In the fall, we're presently planned to move across country and live together.
Is there anything you wish was different? Very little. Most of the issues end up resolving themselves, even if it takes a few months of a lot longer.
What? I wish TI had gone differently, or the way he treated the end of the last game.
Would you have done anything differently up until now? No. The place we're at is the sum of all the bad and good.
Do you see a real, successful future together? Completely.
Quite bored today. Quite. And sore. Very, very sore. Roller-skating two nights ago, and ice skating last night, my legs mostly hate me now. I hurt my ankle last night which has moved more up into my hip since this morning. Walking isn't too bad, but crossing my legs is out of the question. I'm resigned against today, as Earl will be leaving tonight. Which makes me sniffy. I'm supposed to cook a dessert for the dinner taking place at his fathers house tonight. I don't like acknowledging things are going to be ending. It's been so much like old times.
Watching Citizen Kane with commentary in the Film Class at present. Need to work on an oil for Billy at home and make a list for things to gather for Saturday's ritual activities. Just blah. Hungry, too.
