Argument. (I'm not very good online, but in the real world I lay down the smack.) 2. Stepping up. 3. Dancing. (Salsa? Yes. Hip Hop? You betcha. Industrial? I own it. Techno? Top 40? Yes and yes.) 4. Soup making. (I can take leftovers from any frisge in the world and create an amazing, delicious soup. Don't hate.) And most importantly, 5. Marriage. I am completely and 100% committed to my spouse and our marriage, which is apparently how I got the 'no-commitment' guy to commit and love it. We live in the nexus (Start Trek reference to a place of absolute bliss and happiness)and cherish each other every day. But I don't mess around. Vigilence! You can't just assume stuff will be awesome forever just because. This is the first family I've ever really had and I will let nothing take it down, not even me. So I put 'skill' #1 on the side and only take it out for emergencies. Even though he is a decade older, I don't assume that he can just take anything I decide to dish out. Being married is not about winning or making myself feel better at the expense of my Beloved. It's not me v. him, it's us v. everybody else. Luckily I don't have to think about it all that often and we can just spend our days being sickeningly adorable. 1. Argument. (I’m not very good online, but in the real world I lay down the smack.)
