What I've Learned In The Past Year (Beware: Very Soppy!)
Ok so me and Dave have been together a year and a day now. So a lot of stuff has happened right?? Hell yeah. So what have I learned??1. That I'm actually a lot more independant than I thought - like the fact that i consider myself able to go and live in france for 7 months, and that I'm a lot more confident than I was this time last year.
2. That it's still nice to have someone to depend on when times are hard. Or when I need a cuddle.
3. That living with someone so soon in a relationship is not neccessarily a bad thing...
4....but that individual space is needed sometimes. Just to remind myself that i can be alone.
5. What a luxury sex in the afternoon is.
6. That we can be just as comfortable going out somewhere together as we can be reading the papers, being silent, doing nothing in particular.
7. How weird it feels to be the only stable couple in our house - feels like we're the mom and dad. Except we act like the kids.
8. That even though I trust him, I will always be edgy about his relationship with a certain friend of mine. Even though I know there's nothing there.
9. That no matter how bad a mood I'm in, he'll still be able to make me laugh/do soppy things (like buying me a giant Eeyore!) to cheer me up.
10. That there's nothing more soothing than watching him sleep - even if he is snoring and drooling (He'll tell me off now for saying that - and implying that I'm some crazed stalker who watches him sleep!)
There are a lot more than ten things i've learned but some are a lot more soppy and a lot more personal so I don't think you wanna go there! I'm glad we made it this far, we sorta struggled through the arguing-all-the-time phase (not that dave will have noticed it even happened!) and we're back in the comfy zone. This year's gonna be a bit trickier though, but I'm hoping we'll be fine.
I was looking at our notice board (cos we have a board in our room and on it's all the tickets and stuff for places we've been and stuff like that) and there is so much stuff on it now! London underground tickets, tickets from Lion King and We Will Rock You, gig tickets from Greenday, Ash, Inme, Rammstein, Velvet Revolver, Avenged Sevenfold, England tickets, science museum stuff, Natural history museum stuff, London zoo stuff, Sea life centre stuff, London aquarium stuff, a beer mat from the Cavern, a slipper from our hotel, there must be more stuff but you can just get a idea of what we've been doing as a couple for the past year. And yesterday for our anniversary we went to West Midlands safari park which was really really good and I got to touch a giraffe, yay me! it was so cute and it came looking for food, sticking it's head in my window. It didnt find any food so it drooled all over Dave's mirror instead. But it was lovely. This huge lion walked right in front of our car too which was pretty awesome. Got some really good photos that i'll try and put up on here some time.
Today we were supposed to be going to the doctors because dave's had bad headaches for the past week or so. But useless doctors couldnt give him an appointment till monday so we went to a nice restauraunt by the canal for lunch instead. I had chicken and mushroom thai spicy noodles and I swear it was the most amazing thing I've tasted in a while. And then Dave made me drink half a bottle of wine cos he had a headache again and couldnt drink anymore (grrr!) We planned to go home then but instead thought "I know, lets got to the Sealife Centre!" So we did. And it was great. They've got two huge turtles there and they are so amazing and graceful and it just makes you stop and wonder at the beauty of animals and wonder how some fuckers could kill something as pure and innocent as a turtle. And then you wonder, wouldn't it be great to be a turtle in a sea life centre? No one trying to kill you, get fed every day without having to catch it yourself, no stress, get people to come and gawp at you and say how amazing you are....yeah, that'd suit the narcissist in me.
Oh to be a turtle....
