When you're in a relationship, I think it's possible to have separate interests-- as long as you communicate well. For instance, here's an actual Instant Message conversation between me and The Boy from last night:
Derek: Hmmm...maybe I need to watercool my PC.
Andrea: ?
Derek: It's a super-nerd thing.
Andrea: And so clearly I know nothing about it.
Derek: Instead of using fans and air to cool your CPU, you put a radiator and water pump in your PC to cool it the same way you cool your car.
Andrea: Sounds...um... overwrought.
Derek: That's kind of the point. It's like when guys put big engines and paint flames on their car
...but the nerd version of that.
Andrea: (going thru the mail) Ooooo-- the White House Black Market Catalog arrived!
Derek: (silence)
Andrea: Yay! Patterned tights are in again this year. I love being "on trend."
Derek: Yeah, um...I don't have any idea what you're talking about.
Andrea: It's like when a guy paints flames on his car.
Derek: Ah.
Okay, so I'll admit it: This week, the posting was slim.
I started the week by telling you all about the stalker I cultivated last Fall through match.com.
I then admitted I obsess over previous posts and felt compelled to update the one on my stalker to explain how I killed Uncle Marty.
I'd also like to go on record with the following statement: I do know that if Freddie is an actual shut-in and his Uncle Marty did in fact pass away, I'm a complete and total shit.
Okay, with my conscience now clear, I can move on.
So when I wasn't entertaining you with yet another really uncomfortable dating situation, being a Marketing Genius, or educating The Boy on women's hosiery fads, I stayed pretty busy. Here's some stuff I loved last week:
More from my beloved AT AT.
Please take a moment to color my underwear important.
Yet another reason I love Adele.
Afraid of spiders? See one get his comeuppance.
I have more in common with this guy than just the way I look in my Forever Lazy.
I now have a pretty good idea what life was like for my big sister when we were growing up... although I probably wore a shirt. Probably.
Happy Halloween, Google Plus!
And finally, Toast toasts toast.
