It's a meme-ish day, it seems

[ratherastory]

I stole this from elsewhere_kels, same way I stole the previous meme.

On LiveJournal, we often think we're close, but really, we know less about each other than we like to think. So I want you to ask me something you would like to know about me, something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about, or something you've always been curious about but have never asked, or something completely silly that you'd like me to answer for kicks. No limits on the range of questions, either: ask me anything you want to know about, whether it's a fannish opinion or trivia about my real life or my thoughts on events in the offline world.

I know! looking back there were all these signs that I was meant to be a fangirl.

I tried to explain that to my husband ... (Who has known me since we were FOUR, BTW, and known me very well, not just like knew I existed knew me) ... and he STILL insists that there were no warnings.

Oh, I suppose. But you are going to owe me comment fic, woman. ;)

Our families went to the same church back in the day. Our Moms probably met dropping us off for pre-school class or something, I do NOT remember that far back. He had one older brother then. (We were the same age so we had all the same classes.) We were both homeschooled, so our Moms joined the same homeschool group. There were like 100 families, but me, his family, and 3 other families were really tight and did EVERYTHING together. Eventually he had some younger brothers, too. (I remember changing their diapers, lolz. It's good blackmail now.) We all grew up together playing in the mud and running around the woods and climbing trees and stuff. When we were about 7 or so he figured out he loved me or something, and he started asking me out. I was in love with his older brother, so I kept saying no. When we were about 9 his next youngest brother realized HE was in love with me and started asking me out. I was still in love with his older brother so and I didn't like his younger brother like that although he was awful cute, so I started having to say no to them both on a regular basis.

When I was about 13 I FINALLY got over his older brother. Thank GOD. I love him, but if we had dated that would have been a disaster, LOL. Anyway, he asked me out once a year at least every year from when we were 7 until we graduated high school. I always said no, but we were always best friends. I'm the reason his first long-term girlfriend didn't work out. She told him she didn't like him calling me on the phone all the time, and he laughed in her face and dumped her. I headdesked b/c I REALLY wanted him to have a girlfriend, but eh. It was flattering.

Anyway, we were homeschooled the whole way through, all 5 of us. We lost track of the other families but we stuck together. Right after high school graduation, I realized, oh shit, I'm leaving for college and he's going to be like ok bai, and I'm going to come back and he's going to be like oh hai, come meet my fiance, and I realized ... that was not an ok possibility for me. So I asked him out. And he said yes. And we dated three agonizingly long pointless waste of time years so I could get my degree that I never use, and then we got married when we were 21 and we will be married 6 years this fall.

True story. Hope you were entertained. :)
