Day 4: Wuv Wuv

Ahh... Honors English in Mrs. Hatfield's class. I remember this quiet boy sat behind me... didn't talk to him all that much. We were assigned a group project and given Act 5 of Romeo and Juliet to perform... y'know, the one with all the dying scenes? Quiet boy was in my group, along with two other girls. Needless to say, he was our Romeo. You know, I don't quite recall how we became close friends after that, but by sophomore year, he became one of my best friends. By then, he wasn't as quiet anymore, and he sat behind me again in AP European History... tends to happen when our last names are "Perez" and "Quintana." Oh how we both loved Mrs. Rosann Graff... we had another group project together, where we made a board game out of AP Euro trivia, and it was pretty spectacular, if I do say so myself! And together with Claire Bear and I (see previous post), not-so-quiet boy also took the crazy ridiculous hardcore nerd-like over-achieving leap of faith into the unknown black hole of academic torture that is the International Baccalaureate diploma program... death.

So our school has a senior marriage project, and during our freshman year, I thought, "HA! That would be oober funny/weird if we end up married." Lo and behold, senior year comes. We took the marriage class over the summer since us cool nerds didn't have room for it in the regular school year. I literally go to the restroom, not knowing what they're about to do, and when I got back, our Vocations teacher tells me I now have two husbands. Uhh yay? I was "married" to Nathaniel Quintana and Joshua Tang. We then take a compatibility test, and to our horror and disbelief, we were ridiculously compatible, around 90-something percent??? How does that happen?!?! Oh the irony... The thing is, Nathan and I function on a love-hate basis... I don't know how it started or why, but that's just how it is. The joke is, he won't let me "divorce" him, even after the project was done. (Maybe by now, he'll let me? haha) Seven years later, here we are, still essentially the same, just as random, nerdy, silly, and lovingly hateful to each other as ever...

Wuv wuv, though it pains me so, I must say I... I... L... OVE... Y... OU... *dies*

Okay, just kidding. I think you just might be the one person who brings out the silliest, nerdiest, most random, most wickedly sarcastic side of me. (...is that a good thing? lol) Underneath all the devious plotting and creative attempts to kill each other, you know I love you and I thank God for bringing you into my life. We have yet to go on a real, real adventure though! Let's dooo it! My fellow Harry Potter fan/science nerd/random trivia person/adventure buddy/dessert EQUAL sharer person... still waiting on that invite from Hogwarts, by the way! You're a pretty amazing writer, very good with words, and occasionally, you surprise me when you say something that makes me go O_O. You're a genuinely awesome guy, a rare find these days (except you're also a jerk, lol jk)! YOU WILL GET THROUGH OCHEM, I PROMISE! Thank you, thank you, thank you for being there for me always, especially when I have my moments, and you know I'm always here for you too! You, me, and Claire Bear--let's all grow old together! AYEHARJOO WUV WUV! <3
