Gratitude

So, like, Kim and I just totally hit the 2 year mark in our relationship this last Thursday and we celebrated with a small dinner and even though we agreed not to this year, we gave each other gifts.

Now, Kim was feeling kinda bad because I got her a few (honestly relatively inexpensive) presents, instead of the usual one (I came into some extra cash this month) while she 'only' got me one (super awesome robot figure that I have been wanting for a while now) because she's a little short on cash, what with going to Shanghai recently and extra expenditure here and there.

Which is patently ridiculous, because she has no cause AT ALL to be upset about ANYTHING. I mean, honestly, aside from the super cheesy, but true, fact that my life has been made infinitely better in a googleplex of ways since she stomped her dainty little feet into it, she's been super-duper-ultra-awesomely supportive of my blatant, stomach-churning geekery. More so than any man ever deserves to even dream of. This year alone she has:

1)Procured premiere-night tickets for Transformers (by some nefarious means involving batting her eyelashes, no doubt) AND accompanied me to the show even though she had no such interest of doing so.

2) Scoured all of the Toys 'R Us stores in KL for a Titanium War Within Optimus Prime for me, when it was all sold out. And she got one. Possibly by beating some poor sales clerk with her tiny, furious fists. And at retail price. The bastard thing is now selling for about three times that amount in the stores.

3)Insisted on paying for half of the latest Neil Gaiman trade paperback

4)Bought the 50th anniversary collection of Godzilla DVDs for me when I was sick. That's right. My woman went out, on foot, and paid cash for a collection of DVDs containing about a total of 15 hours of footage of men in rubber monster suits flailing at one another ineffectually TO CHEER ME THE FUCK UP (and it did. Immensely)

And this is just a mere (and an extremely mere) fraction of the stuff that she has done for me. Late nights spent talking about nonsense, following me around when I go look at toy stores, looking out for stuff that I might like when she heads out, and oh mein Gott, she cooks for me. Vegetable curry (I lurve veggy curry, with a capital everything), corned beef and onions(ditto), spaghetti carbonara (ditto times about 2.5 million) and slap my beef and call me sassy if she doesn't come home with snacks every so often, because she tried them and they were awesome and she bought extra for me. Plus she puts up with my daily occurrences of incredible stupidity.

And on top of ALL this, I get an awesome robot on our 2nd anniversary.

Darling love of mine, I seriously, SERIOUSLY doubt that I got the short end of the stick this time. A pair of shoes and a few small pieces of jewelery don't really come close to everything that you've done.

LURRRRRVVE. >sloppy kiss with extra slop<


ps: Also, she plays videogames with me. Which, judging by what other people tell me, is an almost mythical trait in women of this region. SO IN YOUR FACE ALL OF THE REST OF YOU, BECAUSE MY GIRLFRIEND IS MORE AWESOMER THAN YOURS. THAT'S RIGHT MORE AWESOMER!!!!!
