Apparently, I really feel like blogging today.
Also, when I was typing in the url to start writing this post, I first wrote "blooger.com" which made me lols. Because I'm 30 years old and still think boogers are funny.
Anyway. The point of this post was to write that I've spent the last hour or so sitting in our living room watching Bones episodes and doing random crap in FB. Brett is in the basement playing some sort of video game. Probably FF[something or other; I think he has them all].
Sooo...I was about to start a new game of Word Twist, when my cellphone rang. With Brett's ring. I answered his call with a, "Nice, dude."
He acknowledged his laziness, and we continued our conversation for another seven minutes or so. During this time, we both agreed that we should get teriyaki takeout for dins, and also managed to select what we wanted from the menu, without ever actually making an effort to see each other face to face. Then I hung up with him so I could place the order, and once I was done, I shouted down the stairs, "TEN MINUTES!" And he shouted back, "K!"
You might attribute this horrible, lazy, anti-social behaviour to the fact that we've been married for eight years, but you'd be wrong. We've always been like this. We're both totally affectionate and romantic, and we're atrociously shameless with the PDA, but back before we were even married, yes, waaay back then, we spent HOURS ICQing each other from dorm rooms that were about twenty feet away from one another. Brett even proposed over ICQ:

Brett 5/7/00 3:54 PM so do you think we'll get married?
Cat 5/7/00 3:54 PM nah. you forgot my candy.
Cat 5/7/00 3:55 PM ;)
Cat 5/7/00 3:55 PM i don't know, what do you think? i mean, 50%
of the choice IS up to you...
Brett 5/7/00 3:55 PM he heh.. right.. you're so loving.
Brett 5/7/00 3:55 PM well.. i know what i think.. but i don't know
what you think..
Cat 5/7/00 3:55 PM well why don't you tell me what YOU think...
Brett 5/7/00 3:56 PM i'd like to.. as soon as we feel like it.. i
don't know when that would be for you..
Cat 5/7/00 3:57 PM yay...me too. :) but i don't know how
soon...it's expensive, and time consuming...
Brett 5/7/00 3:57 PM it doesn't have to be expensive.. and as for
time, you have 6 months to work and do
whtaever.. who knows.. and it's not like
anyone would be planning alone..
Cat 5/7/00 3:58 PM yeah, okay, so maybe i could do some planning
while i'm not in school...but when would you
feel like getting married? do you know?
Brett 5/7/00 3:59 PM as soon as you want to.. i guess.. i'm so
accustomed to being wiht you.. i don't
remember life any other way.. and it seems a
rather natural transition.. i guess.. you
know..
Cat 5/7/00 4:01 PM it does...it does...so natural...but like,
when would you want to start telling people?
how long should we wait before we tell our
parents? do we need to get rings?
[Blah blah blah about money for awhile, and then...] Brett 5/7/00 4:12 PM you're so cute.. damn.. ok.. well.. then can
we tell other people? do we even really want
to tell people? ooh, should i do that whole
"will you marry me?" thing? what about that?
Cat 5/7/00 4:14 PM what do you want to do? do YOU want to tell
other people? I'm fine with whoever; as long
as my parents don't find out until i feel like
i can show them that i'm trying to do things
sensibly... you can do the whole will you
marry me thing if you want to, but i'm pretty
sure i'll say yes, so it'd just be like...a
formality or something...what do you think?
Brett 5/7/00 4:16 PM i dont' like formalities.. hey, we could be
special and do it over icq.. wouldn't that be
trashy? um.. i think it's totally cool not to
tell your parents now.. we can not tell mine
too.. until later..
[Blah blah blah about who to tell, and when, and then...]Cat 5/7/00 4:20 PM cool about [refers to edited text]...agreed about the
formalities, except let's NOT go the trashy
icq route...lets just say that it just kind of
happened gradually, with both of us just
talking about it more and more, 'cause that's
kind of how it happened. you can [refers to edited text] hey...so
um...does this mean you're my fiancee yet?
Brett 5/7/00 4:21 PM yes.. i am.. and you're mine.. ok..
[MORE blah blah blah about who to tell, and when, and then...]Brett 5/7/00 5:06 PM dinnah, oh beautiful fiancee of mine?
Cat 5/7/00 5:59 PM fiancee....fiancee...fiancee...
Brett 5/7/00 6:00 PM heh heh ehh.. yes.. mmm.. i'm happy..
Cat 5/7/00 6:00 PM me too...i feel a little funny...because it's
new...but funny in a good way...cat jackson...
Brett 5/7/00 6:01 PM that sounds like hte name of some kind of funk
singer..
Cat 5/7/00 6:01 PM i likes it. i've been liking it in my head
for awhile now, actually...

That's all I feel like sharing. And probably way MORE than anyone feels like reading. But weren't we sooo cute??? And at the time, Brett and I were 20 and 21 years old respectively. Which seems SO FRIGGIN YOUNG to me now! TOO young. But I felt totally grown up then, and pooh poohed anyone who said we were too young to get married. And apparently, I was right to do it! :)
Also, please don't allow the hideous length of this post to deter you from reading the other two posts I've written so far today. You should read alllll of my words! ALL OF THEM!!! ♥
