I’m not usually a fan of being tagged or memes (what exactly is a meme, anyway?), but I saw this one over on dooce and figured, well, if dooce is doing it, then we all have to do it, right? Plus, well, I’m bored. So to cure my boredom, and obviously yours too, here’s a little something-something about me and the dude I spend my evenings and weekends with…
What are your middle names?
Michal and Jason.
How long have you been together?
Almost two years.
How long did you know each other before you started dating?
About six days. Not. Kidding. We met on the evening of Saturday, March 24, 2007, saw each other again on Friday, March 30, 2007, and have been inseparable ever since.
Who asked whom out?
I emailed Chris with my phone number; he called me later that day and did the actual asking out.
How old are each of you?
I just turned 26 and Chris is 27-going-on-28.
Whose siblings do you see the most?
His.
Which situation is the hardest on you as a couple?
The situation that occurs at least once a week, when I have to remind Chris that I have watched hours upon hours of Trucks!, Horsepower TV, X-Treme 4×4, Muscle Car, and Overhaulin’ and if he could just stop hrumph-ing his way through my ONE episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County, I’d really appreciate it.
Did you go to the same school?
No. I graduated from San Diego State University and Chris graduated from Washington State University. I’m looking at our degrees on the wall right now. Mine is prettier.
Are you from the same home town?
No. I grew up in the tony hamlet (hah) of Bakersfield, California. Chris grew up in about 14 different cities in Washington and Oregon.
Who is smarter?
I think we’re equally smart, but in different ways. For example, Chris can figure out percents and I know where to put a comma.
Who is the most sensitive?
Cancers are known to be more sensitive than Aquarians. I’ll let you guess which is which.
Where do you eat out most as a couple?
We frequent a little place up the street called The Venetian. They have a full bar and the best calamari strips ever.
Where is the furthest you two have traveled together as a couple?
Either Seattle or Puerto Vallarta, whichever is further…
Who has the craziest exes?
I have never met any of Chris’s exes, nor has he met any of mine, so I cannot say whose are crazier…And that’s probably a good thing.
Who has the worst temper?
Chris is a very patient person. No really, I think he worked out all his rage issues by beating up on his younger brothers. Meanwhile, I was busy playing with my imaginary friends.
Who does the cooking?
I am absolutely not too proud to say that Chris and I are awesome cooks. Come over for dinner and we’ll prove it to you. Don’t forget to bring the booze!
Who is the neat-freak?
Anyone who’s known me for, umm, a second, knows that I am a teensy bit OCD. However, I am not alone. The first time I ever changed a roll of toilet paper at Chris’s old place, he asked me if I meant to put the roll on “that way” or not. I told him, yes, I meant to put the roll on “that way,” because “that” is “the way” the roll is supposed to go on. He was satisfied with my answer, but told me later that if it had been a mistake, he would have shown me “the way” to put the roll on. In case you’re wondering, “the way” to put the roll on is so that the flap comes over the front, not from the bottom. If either Chris or I go to your house and it’s on wrong, you better believe we’re switching that shit around.
Who is more stubborn?
Not me.
Who hogs the bed?
Chris sleeps right on the edge of the bed, which obviously leaves me no choice but to take up the rest of the space.
Who wakes up earlier?
Chris does not sleep. So him.
Where was your first date?
Lucy’s. A bar. More specifically, the bar we met at. Six days after we first met there.
Who is more jealous?
If either Chris or I ever showed signs of jealousy, we’d bitch-slap a little common sense into that person. Jealousy is the biggest waste of energy ever.
How long did it take to get serious?
Not long. I think after ten days I told him I thought we were going to get married. How absolutely gay of me.
Who eats more?
I do.
Who does the laundry?
Chris changes the oil in my car. The least I can do is the laundry.
Who’s better with the computer?
Not me.
Who drives when you are together?
Chris, absolutely. It is because of this that I’m a little on edge when I have to drive myself at night.
Alright, I did it! Now you – yeah you – do it too!
You are hilarious! And yes, anyone who puts the toilet paper on any different than “that way” deserves a good ass kicking! I’ll do this too (hopefully sometime today).
I completely and totally agree on the toilet paper thingy; however, your Bammy does not. If she comes to your house, not only will she put a roll on “the other way,” she will change the one you currently have on to her way–in every bathroom you have. I do believe it’s a complusion-she just can’t help herself. It’s a disease. Toiletpaperitis, perhaps?
Love, your Aunt Rach
I concur! There is only one way to put toilet paper on…I too will change yours if it “wrong”!
ha ha, I lived with a different family for 6 months, and the first time I changed the roll of toilet paper they were all like “you did it wrong!”. To which I obviously replied “what in the world are you talking about?!”. They seem to think the situation was hilarious and that I must have been raised by wolves and never educated. Bastards. At least Chris didn’t mock you for it š
