Apparently I'll be doing this in fits and spurts...
...but I WILL hammer out 30 entries!
Today I'm supposed to be writing about whatever tickles my fancy. Since I left the topic of Curt sort of dangling in my entry from Feb. 1, I think I'll explain myself a bit further, though that won't be all that interesting.... but here goes :-)
He's one of my classmates in the MD/PhD program. We have an unusually incestuous med school class, with a ton of couples. (However, though I may be biased, I think we're among the cutest.) He was a Yale undergrad, but we didn't know each other then, although it's possible we may have crossed paths at some point. He knew one of my college roommates from a group she ran, and told me the summer before my first year that her friend Curt would be in the MD/PhD program, and I should get together with him since he was around that summer as was I. To my (eventual) embarrassment, I thought I could hold off on making his acquaintance, because I'd met a number of people from that group and they were rather irritating. Oh well, my loss.
Fast forward to first year. We were good friends for a while, but neither of us was interested in the other. It was our friend Victoria (thank goodness for mutual friends!) who told us both, separately, that we'd be perfect together. He helped me move into my new apartment, and I decided, what the hell, we could keep beating around the bush or we could not, so I said I wanted to treat him to dinner to thank him, and I think we've not seen each other for something like 5 days total (spread over various school breaks) since.
I will spare you the nausea inducing tales of how much I love him (and by all accounts it's mutual!), but suffice it to say the wedding is tentatively set for June 3, 2012. I'm sort of kidding and sort of not; we are NOT engaged but have discussed it (including the date) at length. We are not living together, and won't until after, well, June 3, 2012. I'll save my odd relationship with my parents for another entry, but my family (immediate and extended) would be in a complete uproar if I moved in with someone before marriage, and I (we) have decided it's not worth it. He sleeps here every night, and rents aren't THAT unmanageable, and we just don't think it's worth significantly compromising my relationships with many family members at this point. Maybe once we're officially engaged, though, he can "start moving furniture in"...
So that's the story on Curt...sorry for leaving that hanging for a week! :-)
