All About My Boy

Posted by Candy January 31st, 2007

All About My Man

Gene :: My Boy
His age: 23

How tall is he: 5′11″

How long have you been together: A little over 8.5 years
How long did you know each other before you got together? A few years? We met online and had chatted / known each other for several years before we actually decided to start dating. I think we were about 13 or so when we first met and then started dating at 16.
What physical features attracted you to him first?: I met him online, so I totally knew his personality before I ever met him in person. The first physical feature that I really noticed when we first met were his eyes (and no not because they’re asian). They’re big and beautiful. Something I really hope he passes down to our future children ;) Oh and his smile can make your heart melt. Look at that picture up there!
Eye color: Brown
Hair color: Mostly black with dark brown bits
Hair style: See above?

Normal Outfit: Band t-shirt or Threadless shirt & jeans
How did you meet: Oops, already answered this above. On the Internet! mIRC to be exact. #teenchatting was the chat room.
How serious is it: More than I can explain :)

Are you “in love”: I can’t even tell you how much!
Do your parents like him: Yes

Do his parents like you: I guess? They let us stay with them for almost 2 weeks over the summer so I would guess so!
Do you trust him: Yes, definitely. I trust him more than anyone I’ve ever met. He’s my best friend.
Would you share a toothbrush with him: Of course!

Would he let you wear his pants: Yes, if I was THAT skinny of course!
Do you have a shirt of his that you sleep in? See above answer. I can’t compete with his size small t-shirts. Those things would barely fit around one of my legs!
Do you like the way he smells: Don’t even get me started. He smells GLORIOUS. And not due to any cheap (or expensive, for that matter) colognes. He has his own unique smell. something that I just absolutely love whenever we are close. His clothes, side of the bed.. its everywhere. I don’t even know how to describe it? Maybe it’s something that I’ve made up in my head but I can smell him on myself after we hug and stuff and he does NOT wear cologne. His smell makes me SO comfortable.
Can you picture having kids with him: Yessss.. I want one!
What bothers you the most about him: He doesn’t give himself enough credit! He is such a great person and he is almost too humble! When I give him compliments, he usually denies them.
Does he have a temper: If I provoke it… which I’ve been known to do from time to time. Working on it :)
Are you happy to be with him: Yes!! Happier and happier, every single day.
Does he embarrass you in public: Nah.. We always have fun and laugh. We aren’t embarrassed by each other at all. Who cares what other people think, anyway?

Does he smoke or do drugs? Nope.. Ew I can’t imagine being with a smoker!
Does he have any piercings?: Nope
Any tattoos? Nope

Does he have any scars that you know of? The back of his upper calve. It’s a bicycle injury from when he was younger.
Is he a Party dude or Stay at home?: Most definitely a stay-at-home dude.
Is he Outgoing or Shy?: I wouldn’t say he was “Shy.” He’s quiet unless he has input in whatever is going on. Unlike a female, he does not just sit there and chat about absolutely nothing just to talk. He’ll wait until he needs or wants to say something and then give his input.
Does he love his mama?: I would guess so. His family is not that “close.”
Would he hang out with you and YOUR friends?: Yep. He always does :)
Sing?: YES! We do Karaoke night at our house sometimes and he has an AWESOME voice. His singing is great and I love to listen to him sing. Oh and we have Karaoke Revolution on Game Cube and I love to hear him sing to those songs too.

To Catch A Predator

Posted by Candy January 30th, 2007

Gene and I are watching To Catch A Predator on Dateline NBC right now. I am just thoroughly disgusted by the behavior of the men that are showing up at their “undercover house.” I cannot believe everything that I am seeing on the television. I am just appalled and quite frankly, a little freaked out! [...]

How does a cow laugh, anyway?

Posted by Candy January 27th, 2007

I have great news! See.. I always buy the 3 pack of laughing cow light cheese at Sam’s Club because its cheaper and hello, I love the stuff! And last night we were browsing through Sam’s and came across a 3 pack of laughing cow garlic & herb LIGHT! Yessss. Snatched that up quickly :) [...]

A hundred and three

Posted by Candy January 25th, 2007

Today marks the day that Gene and I have been together for 103 months. Yes we’ve been together for over 8 1/2 years and we still count months. I think it keeps the “spark” there. Some people are married for less than 8 years and can’t even keep the spark alive. Us? No problem at [...]

Clean Archives Plug-in for Wordpress

Posted by Candy January 24th, 2007

So I’ve been trying to get my archives in a separate page for quite some time now. I guess my wording on my google searches have been wrong all along because I have, up until today, been completely unsuccessful in finding a good tutorial on how to get this accomplished. Today my grammar and searching [...]

Daphne Loves Derby

Posted by Candy January 23rd, 2007

“Sundays”
Please
Tell me how you lift these heavy bricks
And how you built this path for me to walk on
You carve yourself in stones
With the strength of all convinced
But I know your skin
Is still as thin as mine
What does it take to believe
In all the things you believe?
And maybe I need to listen more carefully
I finally [...]

Mothering Hormones Raging

Posted by Candy January 22nd, 2007

It’s amazing. I’ve been sitting here, clicking through blogs left and right. Stopping at all of the mommy-blogs out there. Reading their stories of child birth, looking at absolutely adorable baby pictures, reading their reviews on various baby products like pacifiers, bottles, diapers and breast pumps. And I’m sitting here, staring off into space, thinking [...]
