Facebook is my new favorite communication with my friends, family and acquaintances. In fact, I hardly like looking on MySpace anymore. It seems the people I kept in touch with on MySpace are still there, but those people, plus MORE people are on Facebook.
That said, there are applications that people request of me on Facebook. Some I hate and ignore. Some I allow, reluctantly. Applications are kind of silly to me. I dunno. Sometimes, friends will forward questionnaires. Like, 25 facts about that people or whatever. Those can be interesting to read.
This Facebook questionnaire was one was actually posted on a blog I follow, and I like it because it has to do with a significant other.
To preface, Scott is a great man, and I don't think that I tell him that enough. Other than the times where I imagine myself sticking his own shoe down his throat because he interrupted my important story about my boring day, I do cherish his being. I love him. Except when he drives like a grandpa, or farts in our bed.
What are your middle names?
My middle name is Lee, a middle name that is found in many of the women's names on my father's side. It's also found on my mother's side as well.
His middle name is Reid, which was his father's middle name. I believe that it goes further into that line of men as well.
How long have you been together?
We met face-to-face on October 28th, 2008 in a coffee shop in central Oregon, so one year and almost four months.
How long did you know each other before you started dating?
Two days. I met him on the internet and a couple of days later we met for coffee. That was the beginning of our first date.
Who asked whom out?
I'm sure I did. I'm pretty direct. I thought he sounded interesting... and funny. He made me laugh and I liked that.
How old are each of you?
I'm 29 and he's going to be 36 tomorrow.
Whose siblings do you see the most?
I saw my only sister at Christmas, and we just helped his only sister move into an assisted living facility a month ago. But we see them about the same amount, even though we live closer to his family now.
Which situation is the hardest on you as a couple?
Right now? Probably the fact that I feel like I was robbed from one of the things in my life that gave me security, individuality, and identity: my job. Getting through the depression of a layoff and looking toward the future of finding another engineering job, or even pursuing a different career path is putting a strain on our relationship... But mostly because I am stressed in this transition. Scott is nearly always upbeat and has an awesome attitude.
Did you go to the same school?
Nope. I graduated from the Oregon Institute of Technology with a B.S. in Civil Engineering, and he finished quite a few terms at Southwestern Oregon Community College before he enlisted in the Army.
Are you from the same home town?
We both grew up in Oregon. Scott is from the coastal town of Bandon, and I came from a small rafting town called Shady Cove, just north of Medford.
Who is smarter?
It depends. I can recall small details about life, environments, and such, but Scott has a far larger library of random factual information in that damn head of his. He knows a hell of a lot of stuff. Let's just say when we play Trivial Pursuit, I lose. Badly.
Who is the most sensitive?
Um. Me. But I think that it mostly has to do with my feminine emotional hindrance. Possibly.
Where do you eat out most as a couple?
We love to try new places, whether it be a swanky bar, a brewpub, themed restaurants, or even biker dives.
Where is the furthest you two have traveled together as a couple?
Cabo San Lucas, Mexico
Who has the craziest exes?
Even though we get very fed up with his exwife and her idiocy, I would say I probably do. And he would probably agree. My ex's were manipulative, stalkerish, and typically had major insecurities. Which made for AWESOME relationships, and even BETTER breakups.
Who has the worst temper?
Probably him. He probably wouldn't like me to share, but the other night, when his laptop was running slow and his downloaded show wasn't running up to par, if I REMEMBER correctly, he tossed it off the bed and onto the floor.
So, him.
Who does the cooking?
We both do, but right now, I probably have been cooking more. Since I know that after a long day, he has a little bit of a commute, so I like to have dinner ready when he gets home.
He worked as a chef when he was younger, so he has a longer list of recipes that he can make. He loves garlic though, and I've been known to hide it from him when he cooks.
Who is the neat-freak?
Me. Hands down. I have funny stories about the condition of the house that he lived in before I came into his life, but I'll save them for another time. Maybe sometime when I need to embarrass the crap out of him.
Who is more stubborn?
This is hard. We are both stubborn, but he probably more than I. When I challenge his opinions, he rarely falters. And only when I put him in a WWF chokehold will he admit that he is wrong at ANYthing.
Who hogs the bed?
For some reason, I like to sleep really close to the edge of the bed. Like so close, if there was a house fire, I could just slip right off the bed and jump into action. So, he takes up the rest of the bed and it doesn't bother me.
Who wakes up earlier?
When we both were working, we both got up at 5:30am. Now that he is the sole bread winner, he does.
Where was your first date?
The date started at Dilusso, my favorite coffee shop in central Oregon. Then, we went to a movie. Later, dinner at Red Robin. Then, beers at his house. The night ended when he politely walked me to my car, where I asked him if I could kiss him. That was our first kiss.
Who is more jealous?
We both came from insecure relationships where we couldn't trust our partners. Now that we have each other and can trust each other completely, it's rare that we get jealous.
How long did it take to get serious?
We were serious about each other after the first date.
Who eats more?
He eats more, but he is more physical during the day and needs to. I used to overeat, but I am constantly working on that.
Who does the laundry?
We share that responsibility.
Who's better with the computer?
Scott. Let's just say that he has downloaded a million applications for his iTouch, and I have downloaded TWO applications for my BlackBerry. I suck.
Who drives when you are together?
Mostly Scott, but I have been known to DEMAND or BEG that he pull over so that I can drive... I just can't BEAR to drive ANY SLOWER on this damn remote highway. And when we drive in City traffic, I insist that I drive. I'm more aggressive than he is.
If you were to ask who drives the SAFEST, well, that would be Scott.
