Date night!

Last week I asked the boyfriend to take me on a date sometime soon. I know, you're wondering, "Why do you have to ask for a date?" Well, seeing as how he and I have been together for 2.75 years, we've gotten into a routine as all couples tend to do, and we don't really do things like that very much. We seem to always find time to go to Wing Night with all of our friends and we used to go to $7 Pitchers of Beer Night over the summer. Somehow, though, time with each other, where we aren't sitting in front of the tv or sitting in separate rooms, is nill. It's sad when spending time together turns into not.

I know there are other activities that we can do that don't cost money and we do those things! We go hiking and camping every now and then, we walk the dogs together a lot, we make meals together, watch movies, etc. However, sometimes it is really nice to go out to dinner and enjoy time that way. A lack of money probably has something to do with the frequency of activities like this, so that's why when we actually do have "Date Nights" it makes it extra special! Ohhh life as a 22 year old.

So tonight, the boyfriend got his shift picked up, and we are going on a date! Dinner at a good local Ribs place and then afterwards a piano concert on campus (which is technically an assignment for a class, but one can always use a little bit of Culture). :)

Six Random Things...


1. I hate being cold. So much so I get angry in the winter because of it. The boyfriend bought me sheep skin moccasins for our anniversary in January because of this.

2. I'm in love with my dogs. The boyfriend and I have two and I have two at home. I'm a sucker, but they are my babies.

3. Chinese food is a huge weakness of mine. I've finally found a place here that slightly compares to my Chinese place at home. The place at home knows me by name. She even asks about my family when I go home to visit.

4. I hate same side sitters. Even before I started working in a restaurant I hated this. No offense if you are one of these people, but it's just weird, C'mon!

5. I have a secret passion for musical theater. I always wanted to do it, but I never had the guts to try out! Plus it was like a club. Everyone was already friends and I'd be under constant scrutiny. I guess being in the choir was enough.

6. I love tea. I bought a teapot last year and anytime I find it, I buy loose tea. I wish tea-time was a staple in our culture here!

Six More Random Things because I was tagged twice!

1. I have a secret crush on Justin Timberlake.. mmm

2. I talk to myself when no one is around. I also talk to my dogs like they are humans, but for some reason I feel like most people do this, so I don't feel bad about it!

3. I've always wanted to learn to play an instrument, but have never had the determination to do it. I'm a singer, playing an instrument should be like that, natural.

4. I have no idea what I want to do with my life! Eeek!

5. Even though I'm a Sociology major and a Women's Studies minor I still really really want an engagement ring (one day!)--even though it is a symbol of so many horrible things! :)

6. I secretly find pleasure in others' misery...sometimes! Obviously depends on the misery---not people losing loved ones or anything like that. I'm a creep!

ANnnnddd.. hopefully you got some enjoyment out of those fun facts. The last 6 were a little more difficult! I am not playing the game by tagging others, because it's too much effort to go to each person's site and tell them they are tagged! I know, I'm lame!
