an old meme that was circulating about a month ago. i decided to save it for today.

What are your middle names?
mine starts with G and his has 12 letters. that’s all you stalkers get.

How long have you been together?
exactly one year today!

How long did you know each other before you started dating?
we met at the start of MED 1 in September, 2007. so, 6 months.

Who asked whom out?
i kissed him first. he never would have made the first move. but he technically asked me out on our first “date” (not including the time he invited himself over for a pretend biochemistry study session or the weekends we spent with cadavers at 6am).

How old are each of you?
i’m 31 and he’s 24. he’s my Ashton Kutcher.

Whose siblings do you see the most?
he has no siblings. so i guess i win.

Which situation is the hardest on you as a couple?
we live in a one-room basement suite on a tiny island and attend the same classes all day every day. when we’re not in class together, we are either sleeping or studying or eating. together. all day. every day. and we’re stressed out about school. it’s really tough to pick The Hardest from such a short list…

Did you go to the same school?
we do now.

Are you from the same home town?
we are from different countries, so no. ironically though, our home towns are pretty similar in population, isolation, prairie-ness, hardworking farmers, and traditionally conservative values.

Who is smarter?
he wins with numbers. i win with words. although, he is MUCH better with words than i am with numbers.

Who is the most sensitive?
as huge as his generous heart is and as much as he loves cute kids and baby goats, my emotional sensitivity is tough to beat because it can be annoyingly off-the-charts some days.

Where do you eat out most as a couple?
our post-block exam tradition is to get take-out from Teahouse, a Chinese food restaurant in Charlestown. in the USA (and Toronto!), we like Chipotle.

Where is the furthest you two have traveled together as a couple?
the furthest from Nevis? Moose Jaw. the furthest from our homes? Nevis.

Who has the craziest exes?
we seem to live in a bubble relatively devoid of exes. it’s like they never existed. i guess that means they aren’t crazy, right?

Who has the worst temper?
my sensitivity with his temper can make for interesting arguments discussions.

Who does the cooking?
Brandon loves to cook and i am more than happy to let him feed me because he’s good at it. i do the dishes.

Who is the neat-freak?
he hates strands of hair anywhere and i hate toaster crumbs. i’d say we’re pretty even.

Who is more stubborn?
we’re both still here in med school on Nevis despite all of the trials and tribulations we’ve been through in the past year and a half. i’d say we’re pretty even with the stubborn gene. see arguments “discussions” above for further reference.

Who hogs the bed?
definitely me. i also hog the sheets or blankets. but he’s usually so hot that it doesn’t matter. although, there has been the occasional elbow (his) in the head (mine) that i haven’t reciprocated yet.

Who wakes up earlier?
i like to think i’m the early bird, but i don’t know how to fumble with turning off his alarm clock in the wee hours of the dark morning, so he is usually the one OUT of bed first. and then usually comes back to bed when the annoying buzzing-beeping has stopped.

Where was your first date?
our first real DATE Date where we went out for nice food and had romantic conversation was to Bananas restaurant, here on Nevis. later that night we went to the beach and watched the moon while talking about what we thought our future(s) might look like.

Who is more jealous?
i think he wishes i was more jealous. little does he know i would go Chris Brown on any Rihanna that looked twice at him.

How long did it take to get serious?
time is distorted on this tiny island, so i don’t know if i can answer this accurately. i know we started dating in March and by April break when i went back home to Saskatchewan, i really really missed him. like teenagers, we talked on the phone every night and sent text messages all day.

Who eats more?
he does. but he always teases me about eating between meals. so we might actually be pretty equal over the course of a whole day.

Who does the laundry?
i am not allowed to touch the washer or dryer. this is a good thing because i am deathly allergic to laundry.

Who’s better with the computer?
me. but i still can’t fix half of his Windows PC problems.

Who drives when you are together?
we take turns and are about even. but my island pothole-swerving or parking lot meandering usually gives him a literal and figurative headache.
