So I thought it a worthwhile challenge to tell you a little about Ian in three small paragraphs. Here are some random notes:
Ive known Ian for a long time. Technically, Ive known Ian for eight years. Hes a real oddball. However, little things about Ian please me and fill my heart with a bubbly satisfaction. Did you know that Ian hums softly when he eats a meal he likes? He hums like an oblivious six-year-old playing with his toys alone in a bedroom. He also repeats certain sentences under his breath sometimesfor instance, he will say out loud, Pass me the Tabasco (pass me the Tabasco). I see his mouth move to repeat the sentence except no words come out. Its adorable. And weird.
Ian tells me his theories about romantic life, too. Today he was telling me how he thinks that guys that know they are handsome and have lots to offer should be less appealing to women. I was like, huh? He thinks it ruins the charm. I called it confidence and proceeded to say confidence in moderate doses is sexy. He changed the subject.
Ian holds things weird. When I brought home our new kitten and he held it like it was a wet sock.
Perhaps I will add another three paragraphs in eight years.
