A Day With Nichole by Guest Blogger Adam Sweaters

17 Jan

This week I asked (demanded that) my wonderful boyfriend Adam Sweaters write a guest post. Naturally, he decided to write about me, and I think he did a pretty good job of not making me sound like a complete psycho. His take on life with me:

“Adam! Adam! Adam! Wake up and untangle these necklaces now! I have to leave in 2 minutes!” I’m jerked out of whatever good/bad dream I was having and into a race against time with what at stake? Oh, just my very soul, thats all. Thus begins a typical day with Nichole.

Once all fashion disasters are averted (or not) our day smooths into our typical routines. We text, sometimes adoringly, sometimes in a warlike manner, from our respective jobs and piece together plans for the evening. Plans which will undoubtedly be irrelevant by the time I arrive home. But, that only adds to the endearing tapestry that is Nichole. Our “plans” usually evolve into us going out to a few favorite local bars, having drinks, rehashing past mistakes that smart only because of how passionate we are for each other, and meeting up with friends.

When the drinking establishments begin to feel shallow and tacky we head home for a night of making, um, music together. Nichole, in an Ambien induced flutter, singing darkly beautiful lines over my hastily constructed songs. Somehow the results are almost always stellar (if you have ever had the privilege of hearing Nichole’s voice, you know what I mean).

The night is then winded down by passing out to a marathon of (insert 90′s sitcom/drama here), exchanging goofy stories and we’re back where we started. One of the best things about life with Nichole is that although there plenty of days just like I described, the odds are tomorrow will be absolutely nothing like I described. Amazing? Stress-inducing? Apocalyptic? Nutty? Bratty? Cutesy? Fashionable? Creative? Yes. All of the things.

My 90s TV (and movie) Boyfriends

15 Jan

1. Shawn Hunter, Boy Meets World

Poor hot vulnerable Shawn. I’ve always had a thing for damaged types, and I even stuck by him when he went crazy and joined a cult! I really thought this one would last, but his friends were so annoying. Cory “Nerd Alert” Matthews, and Topanga…don’t even get me started. I thought we would bond over our shared love of giant hair, but she was always trying to talk me into doing weird interpretive dances. No thanks. Plus, they always insisted on hanging out at the same restaurant. Every. Single. Night.

2. Devon Sawa, Casper

Our relationship was very brief. We met at a Halloween party, and by the time I got back from getting some punch he was already dancing with another girl! I confronted him and he fed me some bullshit line about how we could never work because he was turning into a ghost at the end of the night.Really? He couldn’t come up with something more believable than that? Wow. Obviously crazy. So glad I escaped that one before it got too serious.

3. Sam (does he even have a last name?), Clarissa Explains it All

He was so adorable but I could never trust him. He was always hanging out with this Clarissa chick who he claimed was just a friend. Yeah right. Dude had a ladder leading into her bedroom. Over it.

4. Trent Lane, Daria

He cared way more about his band than he did about me. Even as a teen I was so not into the whole broke musician thing. Also he just seemed kind of…2 dimensional? Next.

5. Doogie Howser, Doogie Howser, M.D.

At first I was just using him to improve my SAT scores, and my parents LOVED him since he was a 16 year old doctor and all. But something just felt…off, like he wasn’t really into me no matter how hard I tried. I could never shake the nagging suspicion that he might be gay…
