Cohabitation Station

We hope to do slightly better than these guys.

My boyfriend and I are moving in together and I'm really excited about it, for a number of reasons. Besides the obvious average I-love-him-and-want-to-be-with-him-all-the-time, I have brainstormed the top four of the awesome things I will be able to do once Karlos and I are roomies.

I am walking away from this with some mammoth cheese and YOUR SOUL.

4. He can watch me play Skyrim and congratulate me whenever I do something awesome, like kill a dragon and  giant at the same time, or knock someone of a mountain with my thu'um. Currently, the only person I have to talk to is my flatmates cat, and she just seems pissed off when I wake her up, rather than excited about how valiant and wonderful I am.

We will be the toast of the town. Perhaps even cooler than this kid.

3. Dinner parties! One of our favorite things to do is cook together, and the only thing that could possibly make that more fun is if we had other people to validate how awesome our food is. So we're totally planning to make like Lily and Marshall in How I Met Your Mother and get some couple friends, then embark on an exciting round of dinner parties with them in which we will wow them with our refined palate. These parties will also give me an opportunity to buy and eat a lot of fancy cheeses, something I am deeply passionate about.

This is what I imagine we'll be doing, like, 90% of the time.

2. He can zip up my dresses, straighten my hair and buckle my shoes. Ever since my accident, I've had trouble doing that kind of things, with the result that a lot of the time when I go out I end up just wearing a poncho and some flip flops. Which is ok, because I look damn good in a poncho, but I would occasionally like to put on clothing with zips and look like a sane, rational human being rather than a mexican nightmare.

We will even make the flavor of the food in that one scene in Hook. Whatever that flavor is. Probably pure happiness.

1. And finally, the best thing of all- INSANE CREATIVE ICE CREAM MAKING. When Karl and I decided to move in together a while ago, we went to the warehouse to pick out a few practical things to put aside for when we had our apartment. You know- things that would help us cohabitant together effectively in a mature, adult way. Obviously, we left the store with a novelty ice cream maker. On that day, we swore that when we lived together we would make a different flavor of ice cream every week. Margarita ice cream. Bacon and maple syrup ice cream. Butter popcorn flavoured ice cream. The excitement is never ending.
