Stolen from moo22setolover

♥ What are your middle names?
Ann, Berg

♥ How long have you been together?
1 year on the 14th

♥ How long did you know each other before you started dating?
1 year and 6 months, only about 6 months of actually being friends

♥ Who asked who out?
I asked Matt

♥ How old are each of you?
I'm 19 he's 17

♥ Whose siblings do/ did you see the most?
he sees his siblings more, I see mine more; we as a unit see my family more during the school year (when I'm away from home) and his in the summer (when he's away from home)

♥ Do you have any children together?
no, potentially later on, but I don't plan on it for about the next decade

♥ What about pets?
I WILL have a cat, a big dog might be nice too, but he doesn't like animals and would only get a small dog, which I refuse to own, and maybe a cat, as long as it's my cat (his family's very into cliched masculine things, I plan for him to break these habbits once he goes to college)

♥ Which situation is the hardest on you as a couple?
I'm Roman Catholic and he's Missouri Synod Lutheran; also I'm rather liberal and he's conservative, he kinda thinks I'm a crazy revolutionary

♥ Did you go to the same school?
We went to high school together

♥ Are you from the same home town?
Yes, he lives 2 blocks away

♥ Who is the smartest?
I'm gonna go with equal, same test scores anyway. He's said that I'm smarter in the past, and I'm too arrogant to say he's smarter than me. He takes an avid interest in technology and knows a ton about it, which sounds very smart, but he can't deal with languages, whereas I'm the opposite. I think we're around equal.

♥ Who is the most sensitive?
I'm more empathetic/sympathetic, but we're about the same in sensitivity about criticism, I may be slightly worse. He's more emotional in other areas though.

♥ Where do you eat out most as a couple?
we've been to Chinese places several times, also places like Chili's and Applebees

♥ Where is the furthest you two have traveled together as a couple?
Chicago, with the band trip

♥ Who has the worst temper?
Pretty sure it's me.

♥ Who does the cooking?
I'll probably be expected to (those crazy cliched male/female roles again; I firmly intend on breaking them) though he did cook (ie heat up preprepared dishes) for his family yesterday

♥ Who is more social?
he talks to people more, but I do social/friend things more with people

♥Who is the neat Freak?
He is. Really, if I'm busy or just lazy, I can put clean off for an indefinate amount of time...well until things are actually dirty, not just messy. He's had me wait at the door to his room so he could organize the "mess" of computer things on the floor.

♥ Who is the more stubborn?
we're pretty much equal, I might be a bit more

♥ Who hogs the bed?
we've never slept in the same bed

♥ Who wakes up earlier?
about the same this term, I think he wakes up just a bit earlier on school days, but definately wakes up earlier on weekends (ususally in the 7:00 hour); if we start sleeping at the same time, he'd wake up earlier

♥ Where was your first date?
"Vantage Point" at Marcus and then Great Moon Buffet (yes, cliched, but at least it wasn't a romantic comedy)

♥ Who has the bigger family?
immediate: Matt by one extended: I think me

♥ Do you get steaks often?
when we go out, it's his favorite food

♥ How do you spend the holidays?
with our respective families, 'cept we visited both on New Year's Eve

♥ Who is more jealous?
I'm more paranoid than "jealous," he's actually said "should I be more like..." once when I was talking about another guy at school; difference between paranoia and jealousy? I see jealousy as an emotional thing, but what I experience is a more calculating, find percent chance of soandso stealing boyfriend.

♥ How long did it take to get serious?
"get serious?" I dunno, he considered us a couple since I asked him out, serious came after a few month, 3-4 ish

♥ Who does/ did the laundry?
again, probably will be assumed to be me, but I know he can do it, he's done it before...just need to teach him how to separate colors

♥ Who’s better with the computer?
He is, by far; built a computer over winter break

♥ Who drives when you are together?
I used to when he didn't have a car, but he normally does now...I'll work toward an even distribution of car driving times

♥ Who loves the other one more?
he's more clingy. I don't really think that means a stronger emotion though.
 

In other movie news, I watched Cruel Intentions last week. I thought it'd be better. I didn't like that it started with a heroin that was like "no sex" and then the main character boy was like "you would if you loved me, girl I just met" to which she responded "you're totally right." Boy did decide that it was wrong, which I thought was good character development, and girl goes to leave. Boy stops her and claims to be in love with her. They have sex. And I was like good job being a strong female character. And if boy really was in love with girl, he shouldn't have slept with her when he knew it was against her magazine manifesto. I don't really think "it's romantic to give up on your morals if you're in love with someone you've known for a week" is a good message to send to impressionable teens.

I've been inspired to write more since I discovered this writing club at school. There's only a few of us, but we read and edit each other's works. I haven't submitted anything for review, but it's still fun. We also do writing prompts, and my paranoid Waldo (from Where's Waldo, someone else picked my character) was met with general approval. Been motivated to actually make headway on that novel I started in middle school (it's changed since then, don't worry). Not a lot of headway, but some.

Blarg, I should think about cleaning my room, as it's used for storage while I'm away. Also need to get a prom dress sometime this week. Yay for dating younger people, I guess.

Also, I may get to substitute para in ISD 622 this break.  I need to apply, but apparently they always need people.

I should probably study. And I'm hungry, but my community dinner isn't until 6. And we have to listen to a speaker before we eat.... alas.

And now I wonder, is Boba Fett angsty because he's a clone. I apologize for spelling or mixing him and Jengo up, but I'm pretty sure Boba's the clone.  Does he even know he's a clone. 'Cause Jengo referred to him as son, and he's unaltered, so he develops like a normal human....Are the clone troopers/storm troopers angsty? I think their lack of will kinda takes away the angst. But Boba on the other hand... you never know.

So, I just got kicked out of my friend's house because her sister was tired.  Well, that was a half hour ago. I've showered and ranted to my mom since then.

Ok, no more pretenses.  I got kicked out of Jamila's house. All keeping the name a secret would do is make those who don't know her paranoid. The rest of you, I'm sure, know my plight.  So, Elizabeth, Melissa, Tierney, and I were over.  Jamila's sister comes in to inform us that she's tired and wants to go to bed, clearly implying we should quiet down.  Jamila was a bit rude to her, but with her constant interuption and intrusion into Mila's social affairs, I understand.  Actually, thinking about it, Sarah didn't want us to be quiet, she asked when we were to leave.

Jamila's sister comes back about three minutes later, saying that Mila's mom needs to talk to her.  Mila initially refuses, on the basis that all her mom's going to say is to be quiet, but Sarah says that she didn't talk to their mom and it's about something else.  I think Jamila must've said something about us quieting down, because Sarah replied with something to the effect of "it doesn't matter if they're quiet or not." This was said in a way that made it clear that we weren't welcome. Jamila actually said that Sarah had made us feel unwelcome.

Jamila comes back a couple of minutes later.  She had a look on her face that I figured was just fatigue, but now I know it was the daze of disbelief and injustice.  She walks over to the bed and sits down.  We finish our thread of conversation, and she finally says, "Guys, you have to go." And we did.

Clearly, this was because of her little sister.  This kind of stuff has been happening since I was in the fourth grade a.k.a. since I've known Jamila. We're always getting into trouble because Sarah feels left out, or wants us to be somewhere else, or whatever.  How does Sarah expect Jamila's friends to like her if she does junk like this? I'll admit that I have asked my brother and his friends to quiet down on occasion, but I've never made them leave because I was tired at 11 on a Saturday night.  It's generally only if my brother has his friend Eric over, who frequently stays for multiple nights in a row and whom I've know since he was born.

I honestly believe that Jamila's mom is going to end up making Jamila's sister a high-maintenance b-...brat...and she's gonna push Jamila into rebellion.  Maybe not while Jamila's still in high school, but when she gets to college she might freak out like "what? My life doesn't revolve around my sister's impulses?"

I love my brother.  He never annoys me and my friends.  A lot of my friends like my brother.  Probably because he's not annoying. He's awesome. Go Trenton.

So, you should all look at the Wolter family coat of arms. It's a black unicorn with a yellow main. I don't think I've used the correct main. I'm tired, I can't think. Yeah, that's right. A unicorn. A black unicorn. 'Cause we're awesome like that. Said unicorn can take you down. Seriously. Most vicious unicorn I've ever seen. Like, it fused with a lion or something. I'm took lazy to, like, give you a link so...
the end

So, school starts tomorrow. I'm not ready to be a senior. Need to choose a college. I haven't come up with a good plan to get to all my classes yet...heh.

I feel kinda bad about being all communist revolutiony in the last post. The owner of the cheese curd place is nice, and I don't really want him to die in a revolution. It isn't really unbridled capitalism. It's more like when a kid's parent says "Okay, Johnny, go place nice with the other children" ('cause no one speaks properly enough to say nicely) and then proceeds to turn his/her back and become engrossed in a conversation. Little Susy then ends up crying with a scraped knee and Johnny's parent then says "Don't do it again or you'll be in trouble." So, of course, ten minutes later Susy is crying again and little Johnny's parent simply says "boys will be boys" and leaves it at that. Yeah, it's that kinda capitalism.

By the way, 'boys will be boys' is code for 'my kid's a sociopath and I'm not gonna bother to fix it.' Yeah, once, a few years ago, my dad's friend was over with his wife and stepkids. Both are boys and older than be, one by one year, the other by about 3or 4. We found a toad. The elder grabs the toad, runs to the bonfire, and throws it in. My dad clearly believed that it wasn't his place to repremand the kid, and expected his friend to do it. But no, sociopath's mom and stepdad just said "boys will be boys."

Yesterday, I got some clothes at Target, 'cause I'm awesome like that. Today I got a $100 bonus at work (that's not way I feel bad for the revolution thing, I was feeling bad last week. I just had a bad day.) It's alway fun to be handed an envelope with money in it.

So, I'm thinking if left to my own devises, I'm more likely to become crazy... Yeah... it may be genetic.

Time to go jogging.

In other news, I have a urinary tract infection. And since the anti-biotic I'm on (along with all anti-biotics) kills bacteria indecriminantly, I'll probably get a yeast infection by the end of my treatment. yay. 

I'm kinda sick of people giving me college advice. Even if it's just a small comment. I value the opinions of my friends, but I'll do what I will do. I don't care if people think a college is below me, if I choose to enroll there then I will. My education is mine to make what I want of it.  Even if I decide that being a fry cook at McDonald's would be best for me, I want people to not be disappointed. I'll follow my path and do what I think is right for me, what makes me happy. I know that I'll be able to get a good education where ever I go, because I'll make sure of it. I don't care if the core curriculum is weak or that it's a party school or whatever else is wrong, because, in the end, the professors have studied their fields. State universities hire researchers, and they're required to teach. Even if they aren't like high school teachers, they know what their talking about.  My life will be what I make it, based on what I feel is important. We may not always agree on the right road to take, but I want to know that there will be someone there, even if I follow a different path than what was expected. I want to know that, even if I become a crazy extremist, that someone will remain my friend. That, even if I follow a path that you don't, you'll still support me. That, in the end, when I turn out not really to be a communist, people will still like talking to me. (I hope you all realize that I'm not truly a communist, and that all of you have had communist-free conversations with me ^-^).  I'm just feeling a bit stressed and slightly pressured. I just need a break from thinking. 

On a lighter note, The Pureblood Antics of Lucius Malfoy is an awesome series you all should check out. Random collections of funny one-shots. They're on fanfiction.net and their by Dutchess of Inkling, I believe. They star Lucius and Severus, and 80% if the time I don't think they're paired together, but that other 20% is extremely suspicious. I doesn't actually matter though. There's no real plot. Lupin's also in quite a bit. Okay, the series isn't like super special awesome, but it cheers me up.
