What makes me smile.

There are many things that make me smile. Things like people tripping over holes in the ground, or over their own shoelace. There are also those times when people just say really stupid things, that makes me smile too. Mostly, though, I'm pretty sure it's just my boyfriend. Partly because he does the aforementioned silly things and he does plenty of other really cute things that makes me smile. Like sending me
<-- this picture while I'm at soccer or whatever else I seem to do with my life. He rubs my back when it hurts, and if I'm thirsty he'll go get my a bottle of water to drink even though I'll only end up drinking like 3 sips and then end up forgetting about the bottle. He takes me out to eat every single day for the most part and if we aren't going out to eat it is because we are either taking a nap or watching Fuse/The Science Channel. What makes me feel good down deep is we're so competitive with each other, but in the end... He always lets me win. Of course then he'll make a sad face and then say, "Why can't I ever win?" In which I can reply, "Because I'm the female in this relationship, and that's just how it works". In which he'll reply, "Oh, of course..My bad" Every now and then he'll win and I'll get mad, but it's always cute and it's never a fight. This whole not fighting thing with my boyfriend. Wow, well that is definetely something new. In all of my past "long-term" relationships my boyfriend and I would always fight like crazy. It'd be over something stupid, too. Like I'd think porn is bad and wrong, and it shouldn't exist. Then he'd think, well it doesn't hurt me directly (apparently) and I should just suck it up and get over it. But I WOULD NOT agree. I'd have to say Porn is a serious moral issue and people should fix it. Then we'd sit or stand or walk or whatever it was and fight about it for who knows how long. It was ridiculous, and now I realize (I had not then) that I don't have to put up with crap like that. There are guys out there who agree with many feminine issues, and they aren't gay! I do not have to feel bad about any of the morals I have, because I have found someone who respects that I have those morals, rather than tries to make me follow his own. This makes me so happy, I can't even explain. There are so many other things as well to this relationship that I had not had in my past. My boyfriend and I have so many interests in common. We like the same type of music, and if he doesn't like it.. He doesn't tell me it sucks. He goes ahead and listens to it with me, and sucks it up. I'll do the same for him. I can't recall that ever happening in the past. In fact, all I can recall is how my favorite band was The Killers, and my boyfriend (and I quote) saying as one of their songs was playing "What is this crap, this sucks" Yeah, well it happens, but not anymore. Not only do I not have to deal with a boyfriend who offends me by making fun of my favorite bands, I have a boyfriend who won't sit around for hours while I'm at his house playing video games. Instead, he'll sit around for hours while cuddling with me watching The Science Channel and Fuse. If I've had a bad day, sitting around always cures it for some reason or other. It doesn't help that I have the hottest boyfriend ever, of course. Cuddling with a really cute guy, well.. that just CAN'T be beat. =) Of course liking the same music, and liking the same tv shows isn't just it. We both run, and rather than having to motivate myself to run. He'll motivate me. This is something so new. Never in my life have I had an outside influence motivate me to work hard at running. Next track season will be so hardcore. I'm less than a second off the record, and now I have someone there to help me kick ass. Feels pretty good. All I have left to say is, I'm smiling just thinking about these things, and Oh am I happy. Of course there are many other things that make me smile, music, soccer, etc. None of these things can even come close to my boyfriend. Love you!
