Have we met?

I just realized, that we never introduced ourselves. I didn't really know where this blog was going at first. But now that I've got my mind straight... here we are, in all our strange glory!:

Meet me and BF (which is short for BoyFace in case anyone wondered).

(This is us in Philadelphia a few years ago at a Rangers Flyers game. The Rangers lost, but I still think I'll keep him)

He is my buddy. Truly, we were great friends before we ever started dating. We have so much in common and do everything together. From hockey to video games, Mozart to punk rock. We've been dating for three years and two months and have been living together for one and a half years, and almost every night is like a sleep over.

That was our first halloween together. I was Poison Ivy and he was Thor. (look at my hair!) We are such geeks! Just recently we went to Star Wars in Concert together and geeked out the whole time. I love that my obsession with Batman, Star Wars, and Pokemon is ok with him.

(Note, in this picture, he is wearing a zombie Wolverine shirt and I am wearing a Star Wars shirt... the cat ears? Oh... no explanation for that one, guys. We were at an anime con...)

More evidence that we are just weird kids... I have never been embarassed or afraid to act like myself around BF. We are unique (special? weird?) people and we don't hide it (whether your like it or not).

(Ah... my red hair days)

Ever since I met BF, I have been so much happier. I have felt healed from my parents divorce and confident in where I am going in my life. Ya see, I didn't think I'd ever find someone. And when I finally did, he was a blind side. It was hard for me to accept that someone wanted me over all others and wanted to stick by my side. I spent almost all my life not dating and doubting love and BF just never let me doubt him for a second. I still have my days where I worry about him leaving, and he worries too. But we are always there to promise each other that we always will be.

We both have our low times. Working and barely getting by is tough sometimes. But when he's down, I am there telling him that it's going to be ok, that working will take us somewhere some day. And when I'm down, he's right there with me. And he tells me that we're together and we will always have each other. And he can always, always make me smile.

(on my 25th birthday last month... please ignore my ugly bangs)

We are still young (and strong! and heartache to heartache, we stand!) but we have always been old souls. We prefer warm nights at home to anything out on the town. We are content to be with each other because life is a party when your best friend is right next to you every moment. I like to think that we have growing to do, but we are going to do it together. To finish my rambling post about my man, here is a quote that is very near and dear to my heart from Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet

Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself

Love possesses not, nor would it be possessed

For love is sufficient unto love.
