Anniverary

One year ago today, it was a Friday.

My boss was out, and I had some huge photocopy project to do, but I had a decent day.

I was excited about seeing [livejournal.com profile] missgyder in her latest play, and even more excited about Comic Con that weekend. Hell, I was even looking forward to hanging out with [livejournal.com profile] blergeatkitty and help her clean out her apartment all day on Saturday. I was in high spirits.

I remember running late for the play - don't remember if I had bad train-fu or what. But I ran like hell to make it on time --- only to find that the play was running late. So I headed over to the bar they were using as a pre-show lounge to catch my breath. I hang around for a minute or two before someone comes to collect the audience. On my way out, I think I see someone I know, but I was mistaken. It was someone else.

Once in the theater, I found a seat and settled in for the show. Not long after I sat down, a guy came up to me and asked if the seat next to me was taken. I said it wasn't, and he sat down.

"I've had the longest, craziest day," he said. "If I start snoring or drooling, just jab me in the ribs really hard with your elbow." I giggled, and the show started.

After the show, he introduced himself, and offered to "buy" me a beer at the open bar.

We started talking. You could say we really hit it off.

You could say that, because one year later, we're still together. Today is our first anniversary.

It's been an eventful year, to say the least. But every event seemed to bring us a little bit closer. I can talk to him about pretty much everything. We now live together. He joined me here in the wild world of LJ. And I can say in all honesty that I love him a little bit more every day. Being with him makes me so very happy, and I can only hope I do the same for him.

Happy anniverary, darling. *mwah*
