Authentically magical

David and I were discussing something the other day, and the topic of how we met came up. Specifically, how we tell the story of how we met. As I've shared many times, David and I met at a mutual friend's New Year's Eve party. One aspect of this I love to share is that we were the Token Straight People (so of COURSE we should be matched up!). The

Considering that's more his story to tell than mine, I probably won't write about it here. Suffice it to say, I was not the motivation, and while David called it off, his ex's actions caused the break. So! No guilt on this side of the fence!

Absolutely. It helps that we feel the same way about jokes ("jokes") made at someone else's expense, but even if he liked those jokes, I know he respects me enough that he wouldn't do it either way.

I've had similar thoughts. Unfortunately, there are plenty of people willing to discuss the happy stuff, and way fewer who will listen to the less awesome stuff, which I suspect is why it all comes out here.

You know, that's a really good point. I tend to put the happy stuff on Facebook (when we're talking electronic communication, of course), and the angst-y stuff here. Then again, my angst-y stuff more easily lends itself to 1200 word essays, too.

And, of course, much fewer people know about my LJ than my facebook account, so there you go.
