LOVE. YES LOVE, THAT OLD BASTARD.

Those of you reading may know me personally. If so you would probably have noticed not only a lack of posts on here but also that i'm acting strangely.
Yes, looking at my phone, grinning like a moron then putting it away. Random smiles and a much sunnier disposition than usual.
Do not be alarmed, i have merely caught love. It's dangerous but at the moment i'm not that bothered. I've met a lovely girl. She is- in her words- "like you but with boobs". This is why i love the girl so much.
There are other reasons of course but i'm not going into them here. Why should i? hearing how wonderful my life is and how i have animated squirrels pissing fairy dust over me. No, you came here for chuckles and such and as sure as all scotsmen are drunk (and should find a real country) im going to give you some laughs.

Picture if you will a sunny sunday afternoon. My girlfriend and i are lying in bed half watching something on TV and chatting. Imagine my surprise when she comes out with "I hate all these women's rights things. Take them away from me, i don't want them. I'll just stay at home cooking and stuff".

She's not quite a suffragette.

What she lacks in an understanding of why women's rights are she more than makes up for in awesomeness. I did something a little mean upon recieving a copy of portal 2. I pretty much ignored her (after she'd come over after work to see me) for 2 hours to play it. That was mean, i shouldnt have but i did lose track of time.
So i decided to ask her a couple of days later if she would like a go. Nope, she was adamant that it looked hard, or boring and she just wasn't into it. Well........

She's now into assassin's creed 2, bayonetta and batman: arkham asylum. Yep, awesome. She's becoming a geek. She bought me a tshirt she thought would look nice on me. I wore it for a week. Then i washed it and wore it again. You know why? was i trying to humour her? nope. That tshirt was a black as hell one with darth vader on it. Bad. ass. She thought i was humouring her. I'm not.

So the other day we were watching the apprentice and one of the contestants has very dead looking eyes. Of course i point out this and my gorgeous other half jumps on me, looks me right in the eye and asks "what's behind my eyes then!?!?!!?" "this", i replied.

You know what the coolest thing is though? no, not that. Take your mind out the gutter. The coolest thing is the fact that, while she might not have the same enthusiasm for certain things as i (for example, Batman, Comics, Zombie movies and other things), she tries. That's the thing, I took her to Manchester Comic-Con the other day and did she moan about the crowds? no. Did she think these people were dumb for dressing up as fictional characters? That grown men were turned to shit about japanese cartoons and meeting little people that were unseen in films she has never heard of? Nope. Not at all, my girlfriend embraced it and tried to see something cool in there. She did, and she takes at least some interest in it because it's new to her. I've never known anyone like that, let alone dated someone like that.

Thing is, it's not a one sided thing. Much as she found it amusing how i was staring wide eyed at stormtroopers and people dressed as Ezio from Assassin's Creed i felt the same when we walked into Lush in Liverpool city centre. I saw her go completely wide eyed and run round the shop sniffing the different potions and soaps etc on display. Like a tiny blonde rocket, she was so excited and it was genuinely sweet to watch. She talks about clothes and shoes and though i could find that boring, i don't. I don't because she loves that stuff just as much as i love weird cartoons and comics and things.

Basically, no-one's allowed me now. It's a nice feeling. I freak out like im about to get mugged every time a girl looks at me. That's new. It's also new knowing that i've got someone who's actually as crazy about me as i am about her, and that this isn't just a stopgap thing between two bored people. I have no idea what i did to deserve this girl, but i'm glad i did.

Anyway, im going to do blogs about killing things again instead soon. Can't let the man-mask slip too far.
