30 Day Blog #7
Has been my truest bluest best friend for a while now. I'm super close to other friends, but he is that mirror-image friend. Not the one that just understands you, but is you. He's the only person I can discuss quantum mechanics or string theory with, the only person who understands my obsessive need for planning and coming up with all possible courses of actions for various outcomes before the problem even presents itself, the only person who values intelligence and logic over all emotion, the only person who would vote guilty on a case of a man stealing bread for his family. He would have made a great Nazi. We are so very similar, and it wasn't until we started dating that we realized how similar our childhoods were, not just in events or structure, but the emotions we experienced. We both felt very alone as kids, and I think that's why we can both busy ourselves on a project in a room for hours at a time. It's probably also why we have such a low tolerance for people, especially stupid ones. I can honestly say we could spend every day, all day together in a room for 3 months and not kill each other. I can always count on him, he's equally there for his friends as I am, and we expect the same out of each other. Not like we haven't even been in fights or stopped talking to each other, but we always makeup and can't stand having each other out of our lives. But besides our present day lives, we grew up similarly. Ryan's mom is bat shit crazy in the same way my mom is. She comes up with absolutely absurd solutions to problems no one else seems to care about. She's always trying to make food that comes out less than perfect, and she complains about money even though she spends most of it on stupid stuff they don't need. And she breaks a computer by just looking at it. Our dads are really similar too, both sharing the occupation of Marine, truck driver and chauffeur. Our dads are really chill and laid back who put up with our mothers for some reason very unbeknown to us. We both have an older sister, who are born 1 day apart from each other, who majored in the same field, who were basically our mother figures growing up, you know, like the kind you WANT to have? He's also really romantic and giving in relationships. I don't know anyone as giving besides me. We also like small dogs, and actually care about the environment, and wonder what happens when we die, and talk about man's progress and where we are going, and what life is really all about.
