A Revelation of Sorts

This past Saturday Ed and I took a drive up to Port Deposit, MD. There is a motorcycle bar/restaurant where a lot of people hang out in the summertime. A friend named Susan, from one of the websites I frequent, decided to have a small gathering at this bar. It was pouring down raining, so we decided to drive. That meant more beers for me. YAY!! hee hee.

We got there 1/2 hour late, but two of our friends were there, and that's all that's necessary to have fun. We drank some beers, ate some food and chatted the afternoon away. This was the first time Susan met Ed and she kept telling me how much she liked him, and thought I made a good choice in boyfriends, or whatever. I thanked her and told him that I liked him too (ha ha). I realized that Ed is so different when he's around other people. I mean, he's not THAT different, but he's definitely more fun and outgoing. He may say the same thing about me, but I notice that anytime we're out together, people always like him. They laugh at his jokes, and listen to what he has to say and takes an interest in it. It's really weird. This makes me happy. But I wonder if I'm happy when we're out because a) we're out and b) when he's talking to everyone else, I can talk to other people. I think it might be a combination of both. When he's preoccupied with talking to people, I can run around like a maniac (which is what I like to do), and I don't have to worry about him watching me, or being "worried" about me.

I was telling YB this morning that some people have boyfriends that turn into turtles when they are out in public, and that would really annoy me, so I'm glad he's extroverted when we're out, but how can it be so much fun to go out, and when we're at home, we just sit around like two strangers? He loves watching tv and movies, so that's mostly what he does at my house. I have cable and he doesn't so that's one exciting thing, but I can't stand watching 20 shows in one half hour period, so I'll go upstairs and get on the computer, or read or whatever. And if the tv's on, we're not talking because I like to actually watch the shows, and not blab through them.

This is my random thought for the day. I don't know if this is normal or not, but this is my life, for now.
