As of today, Michael and I have been together for a decade.
So lets take a little stroll down memory lane, shall we?
Michael tries to distort the facts and say that I stalked him. I never once stalked him. I just had every single one of our mutual friends stalk him on my behalf, thank you very much. And it wouldn't have taken so much convincing to get him to agree to meet me if it weren't for my mean brother. Yes, Michael said he didn't want to meet anyone related to Larry. But he caved, in order to get half the city off his back. See! This just proves that I'm always right - a lesson he's still struggling with. Maybe by the end of the second decade, he'll have it figured out.
Our first date was going with a group of some friends to a Roaches concert. Speaking of the Roaches (for those not from my hometown and surrounding area, they were a Beatles cover band) I bought a book at Aaric's book fair that every child of a Beatles fan should have. It's called "Who Were the Beatles" and has a history of the band, in a G-rated version. So anyway... Roaches concert.
A year later, we were engaged.
When we met, I was a whopping 17 years old. I just thought he was cute and was in desperate need of a new boyfriend. He just thought I was a psycho stalker who would probably kill him if he didn't give in.
So see? What if I hadn't been a pshycho stalker? Where would we be now? He'd be dead and I'd be in jail, and none of that sounds like fun at all. (I promise I'm not really just holding him hostage here)
So yeah, ten years. I was going to come up with a bunch of other nice stuff to say, but Xander was screaming his little head off and I couldn't think and now my brain is just fried. Must go get chocolate. I made celebratory chocolate peanut butter brownies.

several issues must be addressed here
1. i was not mean. i just didn't like him. i will admit i was wrong, as was he.
2. the roaches still ARE a beatles cover band, they just changed their name to the return. they are quite famous now.
1. You were mean because you a meanie brother. Like the time "someone" opened a pack of cookies that Mom had set aside for something and I KNOW I didn't do it and you said you didn't do it either, but you HAD to have, because it wasn't me, but I was the one that got in trouble. Meanie.
2. If they aren't The Roaches anymore, then past tense applies. Also, I believe that when only 25% of the original members are still there, it also constitutes a past tense. Don't lecture ME on Roachie history - I'm the former groupie/first t-shirt maker, Mister, and don't you forget it! sound man, schmound man!
