My main man

Monday, April 10. 2006

On Friday, while I was on stupid call in the hospital, the only person that I love as much as my immediate family turned 30! I MISSED his birthday because of medical school, and that is how life works. But, it was okay, because on Saturday night we went out to the Four Seasons in Boston with his family, and then we spent the whole day together yesterday! He's been so busy lately, that I hadn't seen him in 4 weeks. Needless to say, I'm a much nicer and happier person now that I've spent some time with my guy.

I can't say enough wonderful things about him, he's the smartest person that I've ever met, and he always makes me laugh, even if I don't WANT to laugh--like when he makes fun of me (in a nice way), and I try to pretend to be angry, but it is so funny or so true, and I just end up laughing.

The day after his birthday also happened to be our 4.5 year anniversary, a date that I think deserves recognition, but he thinks anniversaries are only for whole year dates. Whatever. I remember exactly when I knew that I was really hooked on this guy. We were at dinner on our second real date, after having spent the day at the Boston Aquarium. I was telling him about why I'm a vegetarian/mostly vegan. Most people don't know what to say when I tell them that, or they say something stupid like, "If you were in a desert and a cow died in front of you, and you were starving, would you eat it?" Well, my boyfriend asked why I was a veg, and I said, "Well, lots of reasons, but it started with my being interested in animal rights." And HE said, "I don't believe in animal rights, because rights are a human construction." Hmmmm. I was hooked from that moment onwards, and later I kissed him in the subway station so that he would miss his train. Who knew I was such a sucker for philosophy.

Anyway, Happy Belated birthday honey!

Hi,
I've no idea who or where you are, but I thought I'd make three comments: (1) Congratulations on your good relationship -- may it continue and grow even better. (2) Your friend is perfectly right about the word "anniversary": it literally means the "turn of a year", so you shouldn't even say something like "ten-year anniversary", since "year" is redundant -- you should say "tenth anniversary". (3) Your friend is a poor philosopher: the fact that rights are a "human construction" doesn't say anything about to whom or what the concept may be applied. Have him read The Case for Animal Rights, by Tom Regan.

God, I love blogs! Misquotes, odd advice from total strangers... Hilarious!
