Anonymous asked: So what's that I hear about this Mithingthepoint chick?
WELL, SHE IS LITERALLY THE LOVE OF MY LIFE. SO THERE’S THAT.
I know it’s cheesy as balls to say that, but it’s also true. She and I have been together for almost four years now, and like any couple we’ve had our ups and downs, but never once have I regretted deciding to be with her. <3
I could write paragraphs and paragraphs about why I love her, but let’s go with a top-ten list instead.
TOP TEN REASONS WHY I LOVE MY FIANCEE
10) Shallow one first: she’s gorgeous, even if she protests otherwise. But seriously, she is tall and curvy in all the right places and has beautiful long hair and sometimes I still look at her and go “damn.”
9) She’s one of the snuggliest people I’ve ever met, and hasn’t gotten any less so over the time we’ve been together. I think it says a lot that even now, holding her hand or resting my head on her shoulder or kissing her on the cheek makes my heart go pitter-pat.
8) She is talented at so many things that listing them all would probably take up all the slots left on this list and then some, but I love how she manages to keep so many different sides of her creativity going at once — as a baker because she makes the best fucking cookies in the world, as a costumer, as a composer, as a writer, as a singer. I’ve almost never seen her not working on something, and the fires that get lit under her ass are truly impressive in magnitude. (This is also known as “HOW DOES SHE WRITE 15000 WORDS IN TWO DAYS” syndrome.)
7) She’s not a dilettante, though. She’s dedicated to what she does, and she’s always striving to improve. She spends a damn long amount of time each day on making herself a better singer, and her perseverance is something I cherish and, frankly, envy.
6) She’s one of the smartest people I’ve ever met, period. Honestly, it intimidated me at first, because even online she gives off serious smart-girl vibes, and in comparison I felt kind of dumb. But she’s able to step back and not take herself seriously, too, and I love that we can have conversations that cover ground from thematic structure to dick sizes.
5) She challenges me. We spend a lot of time debating and discussing, and there’s a whole lot we don’t always agree on. But even when our arguments get heated, we’re able to talk about it afterwards and pick apart what happened. It’s great to be in a relationship where both of us can be honest and confront each other when something’s wrong — and know we both have the tools to work things out in the long run. And honestly, I think we’d both get kind of bored if we never argued. (Previous relationships of mine have fallen apart for precisely that reason.)
4) Much as her puns make me groan — and they do — she makes me laugh. A lot. I don’t think I realized how infectious and constant her sense of humor was until I met her in person, but take it from me: my fiancee redefines the term aderpable. (Was that already a term? Well, it is now.)
3) If I need to cry, she’s there to hold me until I stop. If I need to celebrate, she’s there to cheer along with me. If I need to talk, she’s there to listen. She’s always done her best to support me, and I try to do the same for her, and her love has been a constant through some really dark and awful times. I don’t think I’d be where I am today if it wasn’t for her.
2) The kind of synergy I have with her isn’t like anything else I’ve ever had with anyone. Within ten minutes of us meeting in real life for the first time, we were finishing each others’ sentences. We’ve been writing together for so long that the collaborative process is almost reflexive for both of us. We continue to inspire and encourage each other all the time, and I don’t know how many times one of us has texted the other to say I STARTED A THING AND IT’S YOUR FAULT.
1) No, she’s not perfect. Neither am I. But both of us are committed to making our relationship work and to being there for each other and to working out and improving on our respective issues. Sometimes it’s a slow process, and lord knows we’ve hit stumbling blocks on the way, but we’ve always pulled through and I know we’re going to keep doing so. I call Mith a lot of things — girlfriend, fiancee, shameless enabler — but partner really is the word that fits us best, I think. She’s my match and my equal and probably the person I trust most in the world, and together we can do some pretty amazing shit. Like get married. Holy fuck, we’re getting married.
I never want to stop being in love with this woman. I’m not going to stop being in love with this woman. And I will get on my knees right now and thank Final Fantasy and CLAMP and writing tournaments and the year I developed insomnia and pretended to be Zack Fair on the Internet and blowing my last savings on plane tickets, because whatever the downsides of all those things, I’d never have found her without them.
