Hi, Journal!
The 26th thing I love about my boyfriend is, he is very sciency! I'm not great at science but I do think it's super interesting, and the more he tells me about stuff, the more I think maybe I'm getting better at it.
Plus it's really cute the expressions he gets sometimes when he's thinking really hard about science!
Hi, Journal!
The twenty-fifth thing I love about my boyfriend is, he can type really fast. Wow, so much faster than I can type! There's just something neat about it. Also, he's usually very cute when he types, so that's a big plus too.
Hi, Journal!
The twenty-fourth wonderful thing I love about my boyfriend is that he knows just exactly when to hold my hand.
It helps with so many things!
Hi, Journal!
The 23rd thing I love about my boyfriend is, nose-bumping.
It doesn't really matter if it's on purpose or accidental, either!
Hi, Journal!
Surprise, it's me again! I mean, it shouldn't be a surprise because you know I'm posting a thing I love about my boyfriend every day, and the post I wrote just a second ago wasn't about that, but I don't usually do two posts in the same day, so I thought maybe you figured I forgot or got distracted or gave up from being lazy.
But I didn't!
And the 22nd thing I love about my boyfriend is, he really cares about all his family members. (Sometimes a little too much because he gets anxious if someone is having a problem or doing something screwy that might cause them another problem later on.) If somebody needs something, he's always there for them to do it.
He's pretty great that way.
Hi, Journal!
I just wanted to let you know since I didn't say anything about it yesterday that the blog people I guess rethought about putting the big warning-this-post-is-so-gross-and-disgusting label on my post, because after I took out that one word and republished it, they said they were reinstating the post.
Maybe that word really is that terrible? Now I'm scared to look it up and see if it's really really bad in some other country.
Hi, Journal!
The twentyfirst thing I love about my boyfriend is, he's always sharing new stuff with me that I haven't experienced before. He loves showing me new movies or playing me new music (new to me, I mean, not to him) and watching my reaction.
It's like getting a wonderful present from him pretty much almost every day!
Hi, Journal!
The twentieth thing I love about my boyfriend is, he's working at not swearing so much when things bug him. Like, he's gotten really used to swearing at the computer when it does weird things with spreadsheet formulas, or swearing at a game on his phone when it goes wrong, or swearing when he forgets something somewhere and has to go back and get it. Or even if he's playing a roleplaying game or a board game and the dice fall off the table when he tries to roll them. (He gets especially sweary if he tries to roll them and they fall off the table, and then when he gets them and rolls them again, they go off the table again. It seems like that's probably a pretty good reason to swear as far as I'm concerned, but it's maybe even a better reason to roll your dice more carefully ...)
Anyhow, I don't mind the swearing, but he says he thinks it's contributing to him having this overall angry attitude about when things go all crummy or people act some way that they shouldn't.
He doesn't like having a grouchy attitude, and I also don't think he's at his totally super-best then, so I obviously support this. Also, some of the things he's swearing at, basically they're his own fault, so he's really swearing at himself, and I don't think he's someone who should get sweared at, so that's a good reason to stop it too.
With any luck he'll do really good with this, and then a few months from now I'll be able to say the something-eth thing I love about him is how he stopped swearing so much!
Hi, Journal!
The nineteenth thing I love about my boyfriend is, he's so cute about worrying over whether he's giving each of his girlfriends an amount of attention that's fair.
Like we're keeping score!
And anyway, it's so great to listen in on him spending time with Claire or Elle or Akane or Hettie or Sash ... hearing him happy with them, hearing them happy with him ... it can just be them talking, too, I'm not only saying I like to spy on him getting it on with one of the girls. (I'm definitely saying I like that, just that I'm no only saying it!)
I was listening to him and Akane today, and when I said something, they were both so nice about pausing and chatting with me about whatever it was. (I honestly can't remember ... I may have been, um, taking care of my own business before I said whatever it was, and I may have gone back to taking care of it once we finished talking and they went back to what they were doing.)
Anyway, I love him, and I love them, and I love all the Worthies!
Which is why it's so cute that being fair worries him!
(p.s., I went back and changed a word in this because Blogger thought it was a really bad word or something I guess? They sent me a nice polite email about having to put a content warning on this post, and that word was the only thing I thought was even PG13, but maybe it's one of those words that's super-gross to English people or something? I don't know. But I changed it, so hopefully they take the warning off. We'll see!)
The eighteenth thing I love about my boyfriend is, he's kinda random about when he shaves. He would say it's because he's lazy and when he has a chance, he skips it. But to me it doesn't matter why -- it's a good thing, because I love his face whether it's stubbly or smooth, and it's fun to always be surprised which way it is when I first see him for the day!
The seventeenth thing I love about my boyfriend is, he always lets me know how beautiful he thinks I am!
Sometimes, it's by saying so, obviously. But other times it's just by the way his eyes get this way amazed look in them when he's looking at me. And other other times, it's a little smile he gets, and even if he's not looking straight at me, I can still tell the smile is because he's thinking how lucky he is to have such a beautiful girlfriend.
Personally, I think I'm mostly cute with a little bit of beautiful thrown in ... but it's really nice to know he sees the beautiful part and thinks it's awesome.
