Love in Survey Form

A survey from my doppelganger, enjoy it, I don't do many of these.


Where did you meet?
High school, Journalism class.

When did you meet?
1998, my junior year, his sophomore year.

Was it love at first sight?
For me maybe, he had a girlfriend at the time, my crush lasted a year and a half before we got together.

How old were you both?
Sixteen, I'm four months older.

When did you have your first kiss?
March 3, 2000, on the first date.

Where was your first date?
The Sadie Hawkins dance at the high school, my senior year.

How long until you met the parents?
It took a couple weeks what with school and the fact that his mom worked graveyard, though he met my mom within the first few dates.

When was it official?
On that first date, just a short time after he picked me up.


The good...

Whats your happiest memory of him?
Would you believe me if I said there were too many to list? The fact that he called me his wife before we were married is a good one.

Whats the sweetest thing he has ever done for you?
He's my rock, my confidence and I hate quoting a movie to say this, but he completes me.

Does he buy you lots of gifts?
Nah, instead of gifts we just allow ourselves the occasional splurge.

Whats your favorite thing to do together?
Be. As long as we are together.

When did you know you were falling in love?
When I knew there was no other place I'd rather be.

Who said I love you first?
He did, during a time when I needed to escape from the world, I found myself in his arms.

Is it true love?
With all my heart.

How do you know this?
Because again, there is no other place I'd rather be.


The bad...

Whats his worst habit?
Besides the typical boy things? At times he likes to scratch his tooth and it makes this squeeking noise, hehe.

What annoys you about him?
It's a good thing and a bad thing, there is not one confrontational bone in his body, which means I end up being the bitch a lot.

Has he ever hurt you badly?
We had some rough patches towards the begining.

Would he ever cheat?
No, we are under agreement that if there is even the temptation to cheat, there is something wrong with the relationship that needs to be addressed instead of resorting to things that can't be taken back.

Has he ever cheated?
Depends on your definition, it's a long story.

Do you trust him?
More then myself a lot of the time.


The ugly....

Best facial feature?
His eyes, even if they are hidden behind glasses most of the time.

Favorite part of his body?
Hands, chest (I am a fan of furry, not the prepubecent look) and back.

Hair colour?
Blond, though in the past it has temporarily been a variety of colors such as black or blue.

What does he smell of?
Soap, cooking oil and sweat. Believe it or not, it's a comforting scent.

Whats he wearing when you picture him in your head?
Black slacks, black shoes and a white chef's coat, his work attire.


Intimacy...

How do you feel when he holds you?
Safe, comfortable, at home.

How do you feel when you fall asleep and wake up in his arms?
Surprised, I wiggle a lot when I sleep so it must have taken some skill on his part to make it happen.

How does it feel when he touches you?
Normal, safe.

Does his touch give you goose bumps?
Depends on the kind of touching. :o)

Does he kiss your neck?
Of course, though I think he enjoys to be nibbled more then I do.

Your tummy?
At certain intimate times, yes.

Your forehead?
Yep, it's typically where he lines up height wise.


Deep and meaningfull...

Could you be without him?
Given the choice, no. I have never liked this question so I will put it this way, I will love him for the rest of my life, no matter if we end up on the front porch in our rocking chairs watching the great grand children play a lifetime from now or if we divorced in five years.

Do you think about him constantly when your apart?
Maybe not constantly but he is a part of me so how could I not?

How long have you been together?
Eight years, five months, twenty five days... or roughly that anyway.

Can you see a future together?
I may not know what it holds yet, but it's certainly there.

Would you like to get married?
Took care of that milestone almost six years ago.

Have children?
Definately, a minimum of two.

Where can you see your relationship in a years time?
Still going strong. In a new apartment, him with a new job and perhaps sans houseguest.

5 years time?
Hopefully with a kidlet or two running around.

Do you know there is definatly no-one better out there for you?
At this time in my life, yes.

How do you know this?
Because there is not one other person on the planet who makes me feel as whole as he does.

Are you scared he might find someone better?
Not if I keep up my end of the bargin.

Is he your best friend as well as your lover?
There has been no better friend in my life.

Does he come first over everyone else in your life?
Yes actually, he knows me better then anyone else. He is my family.

Would you die for him?
Scary thought. If this hypothetical situation happened after we had kids, sorry, no.


On a lighter note...

Say something that only you two understand.
Splee!

Do you have nick names for each other?
Babe, baby, hun, just the usuals.

Does he make you laugh?
I wouldn't have it any other way.

Do you wrestle?
Yep, he may be stronger but I have the persistence and the skills to fight dirty (i.e. biting, tickling.)

Is he tickelish?
I love going after the bottom of his feet.

Are you?
Oh god yes.


Favorites...

Food?
Is it wise to ask a cook this question? You couldn't name much he wouldn't at least try.

Drink?
Water, cheap imitation coke, vodka cranberry, green tea

Sport?
Do video games count? I think I might actually enjoy watching sports more then he does.

Past time?
Cooking, video games, reading, driving.

Animal?
We have cats but I think he just doesn't know he's a dog person yet.

Aftershave?
The blue kind, but he stopped using it a while ago.

Clothing style?
Chef's whites for work, jean shorts and a t-shirt or plaid button up shirt with his duct taped sandles for his off hours. Though if you ask him he'd be perfectly satisfied every day for the rest of his life with black pants and shoes, a white linen shirt with a manderin collar and a black vest (as long as it wasn't one of those ones with the shiny back.) Heh.

Band?
Currently a lot of Latin music, Intoxicados and Ozomatli topping the list at the moment but always a sucker for the classic rock era such as Carlos Santana and Pink Floyd.

Music?
Um... I just answered this one, look up.


Your things....

Song?
Ha! Korn, Freak on a Leash.

DVD?
The Wall is one of his favorites.

Place to hang out?
Home.

Meal to cook together?
He does most of the cooking but if you are talking actually coexisting in the kitchen, I'd have to say cheese fondu.


Lasts...

Time you saw him?
Technically I can see him right now, he's still asleep in our room.

Kissed him?
Right before heading off to dream land last night.

Spoke to him?
Nine this morning. We woke up to pounding downstairs, coughing in the living room and the phone ringing.


When will you...

See him again?
When I turn my head away from the computer monitor?

Speak to him again?
When I finish this survey and go wake him up.

Tell him you love him again?
At the latest, when he leaves for work at 1:30.


Have you ever?

Spent the night together?
Every night for eight years.

Celebrated a holiday together?
All of them.

Made him cry?
Yes, he occasionally gets emotional when I get emotional.

Do tattoos count?

Is this love?
Without a doubt.
