    This time, let 's share ten random things about our significant others. Here are some tidbits about the boy:

    1. He is a movie junkie. We are on the 5 disc at a time Netflix plan and he also DVRs movies all the time. On weeknights, he watches one or two movies a night, and on weekends, he might watch five a day. It's insane.
    2. When we first started dating over 6 years ago, he could barely boil water. Now, he cooks dinner every single night, and enjoys the cooking more than the eating. If it were up to him, we'd have some kind of slab of meat with a potato and veggie every night, but I force him to cook things like pasta and chicken.
    3. He hates shopping and will wear his clothes until they are full of holes and stains. Then I have to DRAG him to the store and force him to try on clothes. He also refuses to get a real haircut. He will let his hair grow out until it's shaggy, and then he'll just buzz it off with his clippers. Over and over. He claims that he'll get a real haircut for the wedding, thank Jebus.
    4. He is 50% deaf (40% in one ear, 60% in the other) and also suffers from tinnitus.
    5. He was a fiction writing major in college but hasn't written anything in a long time. His plan is to set up a little writing area in our new place and start writing on this vintage typewriter that his old roommate gave him.
    6. Both of his brothers have full tattoo sleeves as well as ink all over their chests, backs and legs, but the boy never got a tattoo.
    7. His favorite things to drink are fat free milk, a bloody mary made with Clamato, and single malt scotch on the rocks. His favorite food is fried chicken.
    8. His favorite movie is Jaws, his favorite actor is Clint Eastwood, and his favorite band is Fugazi.
    9. His eyes are grey, but they pick up whatever color he's wearing. If he wears blue, his eyes are bright blue. If he wears green, his eyes are bright green.
    10. He's really good at doing voices and impressions.

    gabrielleelise1981    August 28, 2010   Portland, Maine

    Ohh, fun, I like this!
    1. He’s half Mexican and half German. I hope our future kids get his hair – I think its beautiful!

    2. He’s written (and published) a book about the history of Los Angeles. He’s currently writing his second book, which is about our sense of time, ghosts, and nostalgia.

    3. He has a huge record collection.

    4. At the end of our first date, he walked me around the city for almost an hour killing time, because he was too nervous/shy to kiss me.

    5. He loves the movie Planet of the Apes.

    6. He actually really wants to help with the wedding craft projects (I put him on glue-gun duty) even though prior to the wedding, he had never done a craft in his life!

    7. 99% of his clothes come from Brooks Brothers.

    8. He taught me how to cook.

    9. He’s a huge punk music fan, and I mean real punk, not the pop-punk crap most people mean when they say “punk”.

    10. His favorite drink is a gin martini, with a twist!

    Minutiae    May 2011  

    1. He puts slices of ginger in his ginger ale.

    2. He can speak Mandarin.

    3. He plays the piano, guitar, saxaphone, violin, and sings.

    4. If it weren't for his dad telling him to have a "real" career, he probably would have gone into music. Now he's a tech guy. He still plays and records as a serious hobby.

    5. He was a missionary during college.

    6. I'm pretty sure it's psychologically impossible for him to watch a movie without making popcorn.

    7. His favorite drink is a gin and tonic, though he loves watching Pirates of the Caribbean with a dark and stormy in hand.

    8. He is adamantly anti-furbaby. Cats are pretty much the only worthwhile pet in his book because they can take care of themselves. (A point we agree on. ;) )

    9. He was captain of the football team and looks like Patrick Swayze. Who's a happy Minutiae?

    10. He is one of the kindlest, gentlest, most open-minded persons I've ever known.

    armywife1029    November 11, 2011  

    1.  Most of the time (I'd say about 90%) he acts like a big child. He loves to have fun and goof off, and since his job is always 100% dead serious, he is anything but when he is off the clock.

    2.  He is the half of the relationship that has read the entire Twilight series. I have absolutely no interest in the books whatsoever, but I saw Eclipse with my best friend last night, and when I texted him and asked him jokingly if he had "imprinted" on me, he response was "Lol shut up I'm not a wolf." I was surprised he even knew what I was talking about haha.

    3.  He is a cav scout in the Army and is extremely proud of his job.  He's going on his first deployment this September to Iraq for 12 months, and he'll be coming home in 32ish days for his leave.

    4.  He has 3 tattoos.  Some tribal thing on the back of his arm, a quote that we got together, and his last name as an ambigram on his left forearm, which I designed.

    5.  He is only 3 hours and 28 minutes older than me.  We were born in the exact same hospital too, and our last initials are next to each other alphabetically, so we like to think we met in the nursery. :)

    6.  He has lived his whole life in the north (minus one year, and the time he has been stationed at Fort Hood), but he is a southern man through and through.  He absolutely loves country music, his cowboy boots, and he wants to live in the south after he gets out. He calls every female "sweetheart" or "hun" (which makes me kind of uncomfortable since no one that I know really does this in the north, but he means nothing by it), and he is the most polite man I have ever met.

    7.  He has 7 brothers. Yep, SEVEN. Which pretty much means I'm completely screwed, seeing as how I would like a little girl someday. But I know the boys we do have will be so absolutely adorable, and I hope they are the spitting image of their father. :)

    8.  He is also the cook in the relationship, and he is definitely amazing at it.  I can't cook to save my life, so it kind of works in my favor lol.  He has also gotten me to try a ton of foods I wouldn't normally have tried, like chili and stuffing (I know, I'm weird).

    9.  He played football in high school and has also had his fair share of concussions, a broken foot, and a messed up knee.

    10.  He is a dog person. He absolutely loves his dogs (they live with his mom), and he can't wait until he gets back from Iraq so that we can get one of our own.

    2. He is legally blind without his glasses.

    4. He is a total cat person.

    1. He has ridiculously long hair. Its probably a good 5 inches past his shoulders. Every now and then he talks about cutting it and I tear up. I love his hair! Espeicially when I am cuddled up to him at night after he has washed it that morning. Yum.

    2. He is a battle rapper. The "league" he is associated with digs up dirt on each other and writes their rhymes ahead of time so they are always hard hitting. It can be very nerve racking to attend events with him because I ALWAYS have to be on my best behavior (and look awesome) so they don't have anything to use against him.

    3. He is the biggest homebody I have ever met. 9 out of 10 times he would rather stay home and cook, or watch a movie, or play a board game, orr... rather than go out on a date somewhere or hang out with friends.

    4. He loves to grill. We spend more money at Von Hansens than we do at the regular grocery store.

    5. He is deathly afraid of clowns.

    6. Video games are his biggest vice.

    7. He does not have a Facebook or MySpace account.

    8. Every pair of shoes he has purchased since we starting dating 6 years ago have been KSwiss.  

    9. He hates sad movies, TV shows, ect. He is an eternal optimist and doesn't like to reminders that sometimes there are no happy endings.

    10. He does most of the cooking and laundry. He tries to help me with the rest of the cleaning, bless his heart, but we have two totally different ideas of what "clean" is, and I usually go back and redo all the work he has just done.

    @Swiss Miss to Bee- He is a very opinionated and PICKY Groomzilla, a la "I will not get married in a tent!!!" and "I will NOT get married in the Poconos!".  lol He is constantly bashing on the Pocs (my hometown) because there really is nothing to do up there.

    Chillmer    May 30, 2010   Milwaukee

    1.  He is incredibly stubborn.  He got it in his head we needed a pool, so we bought one.  Then he decided it wasn't big enough, and bought a different one that takes up our entire back yard.  It's currently half-collapsed and unusable since he set it up without reading the instructions.

    2. He never reads the instructions.

    3.   He has some really, really bad clothes, like shirts with American flags and the Constitution on them, and these atrocious white shoes he calls "urban moccasins", all of which he wears with plaid shorts.

    4. His favorite bands are Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers and Cheap Trick.

    5. He's the middle brother in his family and definitely the favorite.

    6. He doesn't like to get his hair cut, which is AWESOME because I love how he looks with long hair.  It's really thick and wavy.  It usually gets a little past his shoulders before he gets annoyed and goes to the salon.

    7.  His name is Mike, but an incident on vacation in Mexico involving margaritas, tequila shots, and a hot tub has led him to be permanantly nicknamed Miguel by certain members of my family.

    8.  He tries to be handy, with varying results.  The new light fixture in the living room? Looks great.  But then he wired the dimmer wrong and shorted it.

    9.  He really wants a dog, a bassett hound named Winston.  And then he wants his friend to also get one and name it Herbert, and then they can have dog dates.

    10. He is very skinny.  He fits into my jeans.

    6. He NEVER ate vegetables before he met me ;]

    7. He has SUPER curly hair... he once grew his hair out and it became a curly, afro mess. Yikes! Thank goodness he won't do that anymore!

    8. He is 14 hours away from completing his pilots license!

    9. His favorite musician is Ben Folds.

    10. He LOATHES tomatoes, but will eat pizza and tomato spaghetti sauce!

    sceeder    June 23, 2012  

    1. He has a lot of allergies. He has death reactions to dairy, eggs, nuts/peanuts, and horses. He says that if he could ever get rid of one allergy it would be horses. I notice whenever he see people riding/petting them he gets a little sad look on his face. His grey areas (things he has never tried because he was allergic to them when he was younger but then his blood work cleared when he was older) include: Fish, Seafood and Chocolate.

    2. He is super, super smart (and I am not just saying that because he is my FI, he is one of the top 5 smartest people I know) but hasn't thought of going into post se condary until now. He wants to get into health care so he has applied to be an EMT. But he has also expressed interest in becoming a nurse/doctor in the future. Normally, I would be a little freaked because EMT is a tough job but he is emotionally a tough guy so I have no fears.

    3. He loves, loves movies. I think if I let him, we would watch 4 movies a night. I mean, I like movies but I can't keep up with his obsession for them.

    4. He drives an '09 Yaris. When he first bought it a lot of people gave him flack for driving a "soccer mom car." They stopped making fun of him when he ended up schooling all their vehicles in mini-drag races. His dream is to put a twin turbo engine in his baby.

    5. He loves spicy stuff. Like will eat a bowl of habaneros as a snack.

    6. He is an avid and fast reader. He can finish a 500 page novel in a couple of days.

    7. He doesn't have a set eye colour. Officially on his passport it says they are blue but I have seen them grey, green and blue.

    8. He has started playing Dungeons and Dragons with an old high school friend that lives in the same city as us. I was so happy that he was going to get out without me and make new friends, but this has completely backfired and now they are both trying to get me to come play.

    9. He loves camping. We have yet to go since we have been together because we haven't been able to figure the logistics and this year we are having the wettest summer on record.

    10. He hates having hairdressers cut his hair. When he was little every hairdresser he went to would cut his ear, so his mom ended up cutting his hair. Now I do.

    HisButtercup    August 13, 2011  

    1) He loves kids, and would have me preggo right now if I'd let him!

    2) He's a mac n' cheese fiend!  The first dish he ever made me when we were dating was mac n' cheese with sausage slices in it.  The second meal he made me was mac n' cheese with hamburger meat crumbled in it (he called it hamburger casserole, lol!).  He truly would eat it with every meal!

    3) He loves big dogs, and actually prefers them to people sometimes, I think.

    4) He gets insanely annoyed when anyone calls him "dude".

    5) He loves to surprise me, and does a really good job at it! :-)

    6) He's a carpenter and absolutely LOVES anything made from wood... He can tell you the kind of wood something's made from just by looking at the grain! 

    7) He loves John Wayne movies, and owns like 90% of them on VHS... So we won't ever be getting rid of our VCR, lol!

    8) When he has trouble sleeping, he watches the military history channel.

    9) He thought video games were dorky, until I made him play Guitar Hero with me... Now he's pretty good at it!

    10) He's a big old mama's boy, and talks to his mom about almost everything.

    Aw, so sweet...

    1. He's ridiculous about buying me flowers; I put him on 3 months flower probation after Valentines Day because of the obscene amount of money he spent on them.

    2. He has 40% hearing loss in his right ear from the shooting ranges being in the army.

    3. He works full-time with the military, and few people know that he's a non-practicing licensed member of the Law Society as well.

    4. He's a ridiculously good father, right down to waking up every morning with the baby to let me sleep in and getting up to his elbows in poopy diapers.

    5. He has 3 tattoos; a celtic cross, a Canadian flag, and the grid locations to the locations that he, I, and our son were born. (The first 2 his dad thought were stick-on's for like 3 years. Seriously. One day out of the blue his dad asked how many of the damned things he bought to be able to replace them for 3 years. Jeez.)

    6. He loves watching old MASH re-runs. And Friends, but he doesn't admit that to anyone else.

    7. He is a mama's boy.

    8. He looooves ice cream, and if we have it in the house, he WILL eat it.

    9. He loves to cook, but I simply cannot watch him do it. He makes SUCH an unbelievable mess of the kitchen, but he does always clean it up.

    10. He spends money a little too easy, something we have to work on.

    Superstitions    July 25, 2009   TX

    1) He loves sports. I think ESPN could be on all day and he wouldn't tire of it.

    2) He chose our daughter's name from an anime. He'd wanted to use the name for a girl for years too.

    3) He loves Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. In fact, he's watching it right now.

    4) He's taken more pictures of our daughter than I have. I've taken about two.

    5) He is amazing at buying presents. He bought me a purse for Christmas that fit my rigid criteria.

    6) He will do everything possible to make me laugh and won't give up until he succeeds.

    7) He has 4 sisters, which is just crazy to me. He also has lots of girl friends. I only have an older brother and only had good luck with a roommate once, so though I'm a girl, they are a mystery to me at times where he completely understands.

    8) He read the Twilight series before I did. In fact, Twilight was what our first real conversation was about, as we were going as a group to see it in theatres, and I had never read it before. Neither had he, but soon after, he was letting me borrow his copy. He even bought me New Moon for Christmas that year.

    9) He's incredibly creative and wants to be an author someday. He can definitely do it, because he has such interesting ideas. I'm amazed by what he thinks up.

    10) He does more of the cooking than I do. He's even had some creative ideas on some food experimentations we've tried.

    This is fun! :)

    1. His name is Christopher, but he goes by Kit.

    2. He's working on his Ph.D in Nuclear Engineering right now, and he'll finish up the December after we get married.

    3. He looks like Harry Potter. 

    4. He has a tortoise named Gustav.

    5. He works out and lifts weights everyday- otherwise he would be extremely scrawny.

    6. Total movie junkie. He owns probably over 100 movies, and everytime he visits he wants to go and see one or buy one.

    7. He has a total sweet tooth. If I have any candy around, he will eat it. Every last bit.

    8. He can't cook, unless it's noodles with alfredo sauce from a jar on them. Once, he tried to make us waffles, but somehow he did something that made them disentigrate on the waffle iron. Weird.

    9. He was born in Kansas, moved to North Carolina, and moved to Texas for college.

    10. I am the only person he will let call him Kit Kat, Kitten, or any of the other variations on his name that annoy him.

    Cute thread!

    1.  He's the most sweet/sensitive/thoughtful person I know.  He just pays attention to detail and has a knack for saying or doing the right thing at the right moment.

    2. He's a fantastic test taker - as in never showed for class and aced the final.  Yes - it's ok to hate him for that.

    3. He learned his fluent Spanish in school.  They spoke English at home and he's the only one in his family that's really fluent. (since he's Mexican, people are always surprised by that)

    4.  He's an amazing cook.

    5.  He knows how to fight fair, how to apologize and how to make a point without being a jerk. (I didn't know that was possible in the male species LOL)

    6.  He's the baby of 6.  There's a nine year gap between FI & #5

    7.  movie.fanatic.

    8.  He has no children and doesn't wish to have any.  My 2 were his "perfect instant family"

    9.  Both of his parents passed away more than 5 years ago. 

    10.  When my friend was playing matchmaker, she said he was quiet.  Our first phone convo lasted 5 hours.

    1. His hair is longer than mine. As in past his butt long.

    2. He didn't learn English until he was 6 years old.

    3. He is an amazingly good whistler. He will whistle along to anything on the radio without even knowing he's doing it.

    4. He only cooks three things (spaghetti, scrambled eggs and Bananas Foster) but they are the best I've ever tasted of their kind.

    5. He cries at sad or sentimental scenes in movies openly and without shame.

    6. In all the time I have known him I have never, ever heard him refer to any woman as a b*&^h.

    7. He has about three times the amount of clothing I do.

    8. Give him something that needs to be fixed and it will be fixed.

    9. He could eat BBQ ribs every single day for the rest of his life and not get sick of them.

    10. He loves games - board games, video games, card games, word games, number games, scavenger hunts, geocaching, etc.

    7. He was my very best friend in the world before I knew I was in love with him.

    8. He opens doors for me, doesn't eat until I am eating, carries my shopping bags and is a true gentleman all around.

    9. He snores, grinds his teeth and/or will elbow me in the face when we sleep. I want to register for a California King bed gr.

    10. He loves to hike, backpack, canoe, kayak, etc and if I agreed, he would move us to the Alaskan wilderness in a second.

    10. He's 37 and a grand-uncle.
