Staving Off The Cold
Dec. 27th, 2004 02:39 amI have arrived back home in Houston, safe and sound, and I'm waiting for the heat to get back up to a reasonable level in the apartment before going to bed. The heat's been off in the house for the three days I've been gone, and well, it "snowed" here, so it's going to take a bit.
Chris and I had a pretty quiet Christmas together, venturing out to see my sister, to visit Richard (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dedagda) and Chris (amboy00) at Zeus, To see National Treasure (a kinda fun, if predictable movie, dumbed down Dan Brown stuff - how does Nicolas Cage keep doing movies with such unconvincing hairpieces?) with drew and some others, and took Joey to the dog park this afternoon.
I gave Chris (oakleycub) Buffy, Season Five, which I think is actually my favorite, the illustrated edition of The DaVinci Code, so he can read it (and hopefully I can too, before it gets destroyed in the movie version, and a couple of Howie Day's older albums, since he really fell in love with his current one after seeing him twice this year.
I received Apple's Airport Express, which is really cool, if you knew how much I use iTunes in my house, and use the speakers that come with my computer. Now, wirelessly, along with my existing network, I can link my computer with my stereo across the room, and play the tunes there, instead, blasting the building. This goes down as one of those items that I thought was really cool, but I had a real hard time justifying buying for myself, so I'm glad Chris picked it.
Chris and I had a nice time, and I think Joey enjoyed spending a lot of time inside. Usually she sleeps outside, but it was way too cold, so she got to come in. She behaved pretty well. Chris has been learning some new techniques, teaching her some new tricks.
Chris and I are doing fine. I think we are seeing that there is a real depth to our relationship, but still, with the strange way that it all works, with being together for short spurts at a time, there's always little quirks and strange occurrences. I think we put a lot of strain on things, trying to make these moments special, or make them count, that we're actually stressing ourselves out...or maybe it's just me.
I know that I may not communicate as clearly as I should, trying not to make a mess of the mood, or say something that might cause tension where all I'm hoping for is peace, but you know, it's always that that comes to bite you in the ass later, so you think by now I would just learn to get it out there and be done with it.
I guess it's still all a part of the learning process. I find I'm still learning about Chris, learning about relationships, and learning about myself, all at the same damn time. All in a somewhat distorted, crazy timeline. This isn't the best way, but it's the way I've got, and the guy's worth it, so here we go.
Chris and I never could agree on a song for the lip-synch meme thatchrisglass kicked off, so it didn't happen. I doubt it will still be hot by next weekend when I drive back to Dallas, will it?
Well, the inside of the house has hopped over 60 degrees, finally, so I guess if I throw some sweats on, I can get to sleep...Brr, and I think I caught Chris' cold. Ugh.
