1/15/2000

The first night, we went to the movies to see The Talented Mr. Ripley. He gave me his long blue scarf as we waited in the ticket line and the biting January wind whipped around us. During the movie, we giggled to each other about the old ladies in front of us who kept asking each other, "Is the movie over yet? Is he dead yet?" every five minutes as they crinkled their peppermint candy wrappers. After sharing coffee at the little shop near my apartment, we decided we couldn’t bear for the night to end, so we rented another movie and cuddled under my comforter. Halfway into that second movie, he kissed me. Six months later, he said he was in love with me.

Happy 8th anniversary, M. I love you. :)

I am slightly distracted from the adorableness of this by thinking,
"Wait, it's been 8 years since The Talented Mr. Ripley came out?" Happy anniversary!

awwwwwwwww! :) My first date with my significant other is a little racier. :) I used to have it posted on my old not anonymous blog... maybe I'll have to figure out a way to do it again and keep my secret identity intact. :)

Very sweet.

Does anyone but me try to make words out of the word verification? Like trying to figure out someone's odd vanity plate? It's probably just me. I also do this in Scrabble- try too hard to spell words using the whole list of letters and lose to people who spell "Cat".
