metalintheflesh: This is my youngest daughter, Ava.  I felt that I needed to share the conversation she and I had after a school field trip today. Ava: Mommy, we saw Princesses skating on the ice!! Me: Wow!!  Did you have fun? Ava: Yeah, but there is a best part!! Me: What was it? Ava: We got to meet the Princesses and I asked Snow White if she had a boyfriend. Me: (Laughing) Did you?  What did she say? Ava: She said she did and then she asked me if I had one!! And I said I had one, but I didn’t like him any more. Me: Oh.  Well, how come you don’t like him anymore? Ava: Because I like my other friend now and then I got scared and asked her if I could still be a princess and she asked why so I told her that my friend I like is a girl and I want to have a girlfriend. Me: (a bit surprised) Oh.  Ok, well what did she tell you? Ava: That’s the best part!  She said that as long as I have love I already AM a Princess!! <3

likeashowhorse: I’d also like to call him my husband. I’m not the biggest fan of the word “partner”: It either means that we run a business together or we’re cowboys. “Boyfriend” seems fleeting, like maybe we met two weeks ago. I’ve been saying “better half” for as long as I’ve been able to. I think it’s a little self-deprecating and clearly defines that we’re in a relationship, but it would be nice to say “my husband.” Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka photographed by Matthew Kristall for Out Magazine, January 18th, 2012

Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a ten-year-old Irish wolfhound named Belker. The dog’s owners, Ron, his wife, Lisa, and their little boy, Shane, were all very attached to Belker, and they were hoping for a miracle. I examined Belker and found he was dying of cancer. I told the family we couldn’t do anything for Belker, and offered to perform the euthanasia procedure for the old dog in their home. As we made arrangements, Ron and Lisa told me they thought it would be good for six-year-old Shane to observe the procedure. They felt as though Shane might learn something from the experience. The next day, I felt the familiar catch in my throat as Belker’s family surrounded him. Shane seemed so calm, petting the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if he understood what was going on. Within a few minutes, Belker slipped peacefully away. The little boy seemed to accept Belker’s transition without any difficulty or confusion. We sat together for a while after Belker’s death, wondering aloud about the sad fact that animal lives are shorter than human lives. Shane, who had been listening quietly, piped up, “I know why.” Startled, we all turned to him. What came out of his mouth next stunned me. I’d never heard a more comforting explanation. He said, “People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life – like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?” The six-year-old continued, “Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don’t have to stay as long.”

aetatis: And sometimes it feels too awful to be so connected to someone in such a whole way where their heart feels like the one that pumps in your chest which thuds against the lustrous side of bone and the blood the saddest of blues and the harshest of crimson courses through completely making your veins plump with life and everything starts pulsating and thudding and you know something is too alive inside of you something is breathing and living on it’s own and it’s not just yours it’s theirs too and they are half you the better half of you and you don’t know where you start and they end and where you end and they start and you can feel them under your skin and on some days they are the only thing keeping you upright and they don’t know how it feels to cling to something so hard to cling so hard it should bleed and they’re so silent standing in front of you frozen because we never asked for things to be this way it shoots through my heart a jolt to keep it pumping.

Lately that’s all David and I seem to be discussing.

If I get this TFA position, I’m going for it. I don’t know where I will end up going - it could be anywhere in the US.

David asked me what was going to happen to us. I said I don’t know. I hadn’t really thought of it. I am just pursuing my goals - everything else is secondary. He of course said he would go wherever I go. I said, “what if it’s the east coast?” (he HATES it there) and he said, “even there.”

So basically he’s ready to leave everything he knows - his family, his life, his friends, his job - just to be with me.

I told him I don’t want him to give up everything he knows just to be with me. I don’t want him to feel like I’m asking him to because I’m not. I told him I don’t want to be one of those couples where one person starts to resent the other because they feel like they’ve given up so much just to be with them. Because I won’t lie. I can be very selfish at times. I look out for myself and my needs and my wants and my dreams first. I could never do what he is willing to do.

He says I’m his entire life and that that’s why it’s not hard for him at all.

I'm so blessed to know such amazing people
  • Me: But I still feel like I've known you forever or something. I hold you close to my heart!
  • Ethaney: AW me too Meri. I consider you a close friend.
  • Me: AW we are total dorks and I love it. <3
  • Ethaney: WE ARE and we're totally going to stay close
David must really miss me

Look at this email he wrote me. He almost never writes emails:

So it’s a little after 4 am and i just got off work.  I’m in one of my gay moods, and i feel like writing to you untill i run out of things to say.  I was listening to motion city all night, and could not help but relate every word i herd to you :)  “this time it’s real, this time i mean it”  sigh… i’m such a loser!!!!  I feel like i’m going through a bit of seaporation anxity.  I totally broke out, and i find myself counting the days to your return to me.  I know you hate it when i’m clingy, but I feel like you are the constant in my life.  It makes me feel good when i can do things for you!  Be it cooking dinner or cracking your toes.  I have a feeling some day you’re going to confess that you totally are gay for me, but i can wait.  I like our games of cat and mouse because i know the love is there regardless.  I think that my insecurities are the reason i need constant reassurance of your love for me.  Some day i’ll be able to just go with the flow, but not untill i feel like you can love the loser that i am… I’m getting to the point where i’m rambleing, sorry… anyways,  angels and airwaves is on now, and i may just have to go into an alien rant… or not.  where was i?  i can’t remember, but i hope you can forgive my spelling and gramatical errors.  I guess me running out of things to say other than i love you i love you i love you would get pretty old, so i’ll wrap it up. 

         In conclusion I find that my love for you is healthy, just very powerful.  And i want to go on your crazy adventurs, despite $$$ having adventures with YOU is what would make me happy in life.  I find that what makes me most happy is when WE are most happy! 
k
i’m done
i love you

Pet Peeves
  • Me: hey I love you
  • David: ily 2
  • Me: ;________;
  • David: XD
  • Me: I am worth so much more than that, you fool
  • David: Merisenda, words can not express my emotion for you! you are the single most important person in my life, and I can't Imagine life without you. Every moment that we are apart, a little piece of my heart dies, yet when we are together the growth of my love is immeasurable.
  • Me: that's more like it =D
