Der-bear
Exactly one year ago, my blog didn’t mention anything on April 18th, except a personally amusing dream sequence about the Koolaid guy and the Passion movie. I looked at it today, and I thought my joke was pretty funny. Of course, I always think my jokes are funny. I’m in a minority about the jokes, I know.
I didn’t write about a short jaunt into the city. I didn’t write about a great date in Central Park, or that I was particularly charmed by a furry-chested Canadian from a certain website. It was thesis crunch time for me, and I actually brought research to the date. At that point, it was just a really great date. Nice, but he lived WAY UP IN EGYPT or Columbia or something. Until I started seeing more of him, I couldn’t conceive of a Manhattan above 96th.
I didn’t write about him until July, even though our relationship was becoming more serious. I have this thing about admitting attraction, as that always jinxed it for me in the past. Other things seemed more important, really. First, my thesis and work, then my graduation. Mom died, and everything went haywire for me. He was there for me, and he’s been there every day since then.
Gay years are like dog years. One year in gay world is like 7 in straight world, so we've been together forever, and I've aged terribly. It’s funny, but if I don’t talk to him every day, I don’t feel complete. I’m scared shitless about moving in with him, but I’m also deep-down giggly (in a manly giggly way of course, like John Wayne on marijuana).
I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned it before, but I love him. Happy anniversary.

I'm weepy. Seriously. Rob and my 3rd anniversary was last Thursday. Being in love is soooo great.

I think we both have the giggles, kiddo! It's fun to be scared. This year has been so great. Love you, Der-Bear.

Now I've got the whole "John Wayne high and giggling" image stuck in my head. Thanks.
Meanwhile...
Yes, you may have aged quite terribly, but you've also got someone sticking around who obviously kinda likes you that way. Definitely a keeper situation, I think.

Derrick is adorable! I wish you much happiness! I am on my 2nd marraige, my first ended with us being good friends, and finally, my new partner is moving in. I hope that you kept your sexy beard.

*smooch*

Happy A-day, you crazy kids. You must come over for my famous mac&cheese with some anniversary candles on top.

Very sweet. I'm glad you two cute guys found each other and compliment each other so well. Here's hoping for many more anniversaries!
Moving in together is fun and challenging. (The Boyfriend and I did it for in September and things have been pretty good so far.) If I lived closer, I'd help you move. But that's an easy offer when one lives on the other coast!

This furry-chested Canadian wishes you both a very happy anniversary!
