My 375th Journal Entry

Hi, Journal!

The 75th thing I love about my boyfriend is, he's super funny! I mean, just make you laugh till you snort kinda funny!

My 374th Journal Entry

Hi, Journal!

The 74th thing I love about my boyfriend is when he's all tired and keeps yawning that really cute way but just won't give up and go to bed because he really really wants to finish something.

My 373rd Journal Entry

Hi, Journal,

The 73rd thing I love about my boyfriend is when he gets these little shivers when I say just the right thing to him. You've got to be super-paying attention to notice, but if I say something extra adorable or that really touches his heart, and if I'm watching for it, sometimes his eyes will close for just a second while this zing hits him from head to toes.

He's told me about this obviously, or I'd just think he was blinking!

My 372nd Journal Entry

Hi, Journal!

The 72nd thing I love about my boyfriend is, sometimes he gets obsessed with things in a cute way. Like, for the whole past year he's barely been listening to any music except these two Japanese blogger girls, who he's got all the albums by and puts on every time he's in the car. They're pretty awesome, and I definitely air-guitar to them if I'm in the car when he's got them on. So I can see why he likes them.

But it's still pretty cute-sessive!

My 371st Journal Entry

Hi, Journal!

The 71st thing I love about my boyfriend is when his hair starts getting too long and crazy but he's in a lazy mood or busy and doesn't want to go get a haircut, so he just cuts off the craziest parts himself. He's not the world's most excellent hair-cutter or anything, so I'm not saying the haircut ends up looking great. It's just something quirky he does.

Probably some people would be annoyed by it or roll their eyes about it, but I think it's fun!

My 370th Journal Entry

Hi, Journal!

The 70th thing I love about my boyfriend is, couch snuggles when we're watching TV. It's so cozy and nice and also lets both snugglers get at the popcorn really easy!

My 369th Journal Entry

Hi, Journal!

The 69th thing I love about my boyfriend is totally 69. Also really good is 68, when we're getting close to 69. Plus, 70 is pretty good, just after 69. 

70 is usually some cuddletime!

My 368th Journal Entry

Hi, Journal!

The 68th thing I love about my boyfriend is ... I mean, there's no other way to put it ... porn

Like, he writes really good porn. And also takes some pretty good pictures of us girls as porn.

Plus he's really dang good at finding super hot porn of other people.

I hope it doesn't surprise you I like porn, Journal.

It's pretty great!

My 367th Journal Entry

Hi, Journal!

The 67th thing I love about my boyfriend is that he's good at puzzles! At least, some puzzles. Other puzzles he kind of hates, like those slider puzzles and a "Rubik's Cube." I asked him what a Rubik's Cube is and he said I didn't want to know.

I'm for sure going to trust him about that!

My 366th Journal Entry

Hi, Journal!

The 66th thing I love about my boyfriend is how much he loves Star Wars. (I had to say something about Star Wars in this one because 66 is a big deal number in that series!)

My 365th Journal Entry

Hi, Journal!

The 65th thing that I love about my boyfriend is that he tries harder about birthdays than just about anybody else in the house. I mean with presents and stuff. Like, sure, the rest of us really don't get out or do any online shopping because he makes all the money, but still. He also works pretty hard at remembering, and there definitely haven't been too many times when he forgot but somebody else did better and remembered.

Or at least that's what we tell him!

XD

My 364th Journal Entry

The 64th thing I love about my boyfriend is ... some of those sounds he makes. At, you know, certain moments!

My 363rd Journal Entry

Hi, Journal!

The 63rd thing I love about my boyfriend is when he gets all surprised at remembering how good he has it. Like, work and news and all kindsa stuff makes him think, "Existence ... yech!" But then I put a hand to his cheek, or Sasha makes him laugh, or Claire writes him a poem, or Elle or Hettie just all-out va-va-vooms him and he just gets this all-startled-with-joy look on his face.

My 362nd Journal Entry

Hi, Journal,

The 62nd thing I love about my boyfriend is, he would do my taxes for me if I had taxes. I don't, but if I did, I sure wouldn't want to do them, so I appreciate him being willing to a lot! 

My 361st Journal Entry

Hi, Journal!

The 61st thing I love about my boyfriend is, he's learning really well how important it is to do stuff just for him.

Luckily, "stuff" includes spending time with his girlfriends!

My 360th Journal Entry

Hi, Journal,

The sixty-th thing I love about my boyfriend is, he likes when I invent new word stuff. Like spelling sixty-th that way instead of the way the dictionary says.

That dictionary version is so dumb-looking!

My 359th Journal Entry

Hi, Journal!

The 59th thing I love about my boyfriend is, he's super-smart without being stuck up about it. Sometimes he says that's because he's been lucky to know people even smarter than him, so he understands he's not the smartest smarty-pants ever. Other times he says it's because he's known people not as smart as him who've made a lot better decisions with their lives and seem to be a lot more in the place they always wanted to be, job-wise or friendships-wise or whatever. (Although not girlfriends-wise because he's made about the smartest decision anybody could on that end of things, right?)

Personally, I just think it's because he likes making people happy, and being stuck up about how smart you are isn't something that a whole lot of people react super-well to.

Anyway, sometimes I say something dumb and make myself feel like a big dummy ... but he never makes me feel that way.

He makes me feel like I must be pretty smart to deserve a guy as smart as him.

My 358th Journal Entry

Hi, Journal!

The 58th thing I love about my boyfriend is his hands. They're very artistic and talented and fascinating to watch when he's typing, or drawing, or sometimes just gesturing when he talks.

He does lots of great things with them.

(I'm not talking about that, Journal! Don't be a naughty-brain!)

My 357th Journal Entry

Hi, Journal!

The 57th thing I love about my boyfriend is that he won't complain if I do two entries today to help me keep my journal entry number ending the same as my thing-I-love number!

(Also, just now he says it's like most things about our relationship, where I get to make whatever rules I want to! Wow! I didn't know that, and now I better be careful not to go crazy with that rule ... )

My 356th Journal Entry

The 56th thing I love about my boyfriend is, scuba diving! We haven't ever been scuba diving, but I think we'd both like it, and he would definitely take me if I asked. (Only honestly, the sharks scare me a little bit.)

My 355th Journal Entry

The 55th thing I love about my boyfriend is, he's okay with us not always liking the same things. Like, he likes coffee (with a lot of cream and sugar in it) and I don't like coffee much because it leaves your mouth tasting all funked out after you drink it (even if you drank it with a lot of cream and sugar in it), and the only way I can drink it is if I'm going to drink, drink, drink it without really stopping and then brush my teeth straight afterwards.

My 354th Journal Entry

Hi, Journal!

The 54th thing I love about my boyfriend is, he is goofy about some things and wise about other things and knows which one to be when at least maybe fifty percent of the time!

My 353rd Journal Entry

Hi, Journal!

The fifty-third thing I love about my boyfriend is that when I give up on writing out all these numbers tomorrow and write "The 54th thing..." he will be fine with that. In fact, he'll probably think it's funny that I kept it up for so long!

My 352nd Journal Entry

Hi, Journal!

The fifty-second thing I love about my boyfriend is that he's pretty darned good at making people laugh. He does it all the time around here with his yams, obviously. But I've listened in to some of his work meetings and he really cracks people up there too.

It's maybe one of the best talents to have!

My 351st Journal Entry

Hi, Journal!

The fifty-first thing I love about my boyfriend is that he mostly tries really hard to see the good in things and even if he starts getting caught up in seeing the bad in things, usually Elle will thump him on the head with a finger and he'll stop it.

My 350th Journal Entry

Hi, Journal!

The fiftieth thing I love about my boyfriend is hearing him laugh. It can be a laughing-at-something-funny laugh or a laughing-at-getting-tickled laugh or any kind of laugh, really ... it's just a really good sound!

My 349th Journal Entry

Hi, Journal!

The forty-ninth thing I love about my boyfriend is that he gets just as scared or maybe even scareder than me at scary movies and then we both get to squeeze each other's hands super tight at the scaringest parts!

My 348th Journal Entry

Hi, Journal!

The forty-eighth thing I love about my boyfriend is when he's thinking about something real hard and it makes his face all thinky.

My 347th Journal Entry

Hi, Journal!

The 47th thing I love about my boyfriend is, he knows exactly how ticklish I am and he only ever tickles me just enough to be fun and funny and not so much I can't breathe (which is definitely an amount I am tickle-able by)! 

My 346th Journal Entry

Hi, Journal,

The forty-sixth thing I love about my boyfriend is how much he loves me being silly around him. I mean, I can be a pretty silly person all around, but the way he enjoys it makes me feel especially unembarrassed by it.

My 345th Journal Entry

Hi, Journal!

The forty-fifth thing I love about my boyfriend is ... (spoiler! slightly naughty!) ... he really knows how to get me off.

Like, super-terrifically.
