Why do I love you?
- Because I’ve never once felt like I had to pretend to be anything other than what I am.
- Because you have interests which range a little farther than current fashion and “Friends”.
- Because, while I don’t agree with 100% of your political opinions, I have immense respect for the way you arrived at them.
- Because you drive me around looking for old supermarkets in strange cities and can at least pretend to be amused by it.
- Because you find sunshine and warm weather as depressing as I do.
- Because you never make me watch E! or stupid reality shows.
- Because you like Jane Jacobs just as much as I do.
- Because you like Cheerwine almost as I much as I do too.
- Because you’re a geography major.
- Because you’re the cutest geography major who ever walked the face of the earth.
- Because our first dinner date was at Denny’s.
- Because you’re obsessively geeky.
- Because you’ll never want to own a cat.
- Because when I was commuting to Fresno, you always took me to see bands and never dragged me to queer bars.
- Because you’re the most fun sex I’ve ever had.
- Because you bought me that “L.A. Freeways” book. Twice.
- Because you like Saturday morning cartoons and artificially-colored pancakes.
- Because you think Wal-Mart is a good place to buy toilet paper rather than a vile affront to the proletariat.
- Beacuse you keep a box of kleenex in your car.
- Beacuse you leave your Chucks on sometimes.
- Because you grew up in a mirror image of my hometown, with almost the same phone number as me, and with a mother who worked for the same, ummm, company as mine.
- Because you’re a Mac supremacist.
- Beacuse you write good dirty stories.
- Beacuse you’re a sucker for good carnitas and good grits.
- Beacuse you don’t get pissed off when my neck snaps every time I hear a skateboard roll by.
- Because we laugh at the same things on TV (and at the same idiots walking down the street).
- Because you understand the value of work.
- Because you liked “Vertigo” and “Harold and Maude”.
- Because when I wake up next to you in the middle of the night and look over at you, I feel so incredibly wonderful.
- Because you managed to convince me that I didn’t necessarily need to live the rest of my life alone and refusing to love anyone.
