i cannot keep this up, though i swear i've been trying. the time i take for this i steal from important things (i received a twitter update, via text, that quinn is downstairs brushing his teeth. i should be down there brushing mine, though i hate to spit in the sink at the same time.)
twitter has introduced a funny sense of delayed communication in our marriage. i get his tweets to my phone, mysteriously delayed about 20 minutes. the buzzing of my texts across the room woke him up last night. in a weird act of deja vu he stumbled to my phone to find a text from himself from earlier in the evening. technology is a communicator and a barrier.
update of our lives: (a quick list remniscent of brown_sheep)
he was sick today. drinking vitamin c. it made me realize how different we are.
he has allergies.
i do not.
he gets sick.
i do not. (not even from him.)
we waste our time differently:
i read, i cry, i type, i sneak chocolates, i stare into space, i organize, i plan.
he draws, he watches hardcore videos on youtube, he plays mario with contagious excitement.
but we are also the same:
same smiles, same bad reckless hair, and then cut, short hair.
same patterns.
same understanding.
same jokes.
same languages (real and not real)
same favorites.
same highs (today: southbound 95 and the AVAIL of our youths)
same lows (not mine to explain)
i think we are always saying the same thing. he is saying it in less words and i am saying it in more.

hey, i spend lots of time staring into space too.
I also sneak chocolates, only I'm not sure who I am sneaking them from since no one minds me munching them. I think I just feel sneaky when my face is in the fridge hunting for it.
