Month-iversary

Tomorrow marks 2 months since I began dating Emily. She contacted me awhile back after reading a lot of my blog; we started talking; one thing led to another; and here we are.
This relationship is already different and better than any of my previous ones. We have a great number of common interests to start with. I can say "Do you wanna' play Battlefield 2?" and the answer I get is usually "Yes!" She loves to read, watch great television shows, play games (video, roleplaying, and board). She has a marvelous sense of humor. She's smart as a lemon drops, and she adores my dogs. The fact that she likes and respects me is something that seems to be easy for her to show. She shows interest in things that I love (programming, philosophy) that she knows little or nothing about--but expresses and shows a desire to learn. She strongly argues with me when she disagrees, but does so in a rational, non-combative manner that doesn't compromise her passion. She has a knowledge and love of music that rivals my own (and with 6-700 CDs in my collection, that's significant!)

In short, she has all of the qualities of personality that I thought would be ideal in a romantic partner.

We've spent an enormous amount of time together since we started dating. Almost half of every week has been spent together. The time has been an orgy of sharing DVD's, CD's, books, and ideas. Mucho fun-do!

So, cheers and celebrations to Emily and me!
