Happy anniversary!

You keep mentioning those two facts as if they were related. Are they? And if so, how?

From:

We're just ten years and a few months* behind you, although the anniversary of our first meeting is coming up.

*But who's counting?

From:

Heureux anniversaire! Now, I must say you look very dashing in a bowler hat.

From:

You are.

From:

"I am the Count. I love to count things. One! Two! Three! Hahahah!!!"

From:

Thanks!

As for those two events... They're only related in that they happened on the same day. I do have a tendency towards TMI. I could have also mentionned that on that day I also bought a Bradbury collection titled A Sound of Thunder, but people might start wondering if 'storm' and 'thunder' were code words about our relationship. Heheheh.

That being said, I love going back to that Dean book every once if a while, especially the section that shows his illustrations for War of the Worlds.

From:

Merci bien. As for the bowler... If I were to wear one while dressed in my Victorian Time Traveller outfit, I'd look like I've stepped off a page of Girl Genius. Not that it'd be a bad thing.

From:

Oh, yes, I am.

I have come to the conclusion that in every couple there is one who remembers the Anniversary Day, and one who does not.

At least she remembers the correct month. ;-)

Congratulations! That picture makes you look like John Steed. :-)

At least it was two days before, instead of two days after. Happy anniversary Sue and Serge!

From:

I certainly wouldn't say so.

From:

You mean it isn't just a male thing?

From:

Definitely not. This morning, I asked my wife if she remembered the date of our wedding, and the only part she got right was the month. Not the day, nor the year.

From:

Amazing, isn't it? I also have a picture of the two of us where I look like Clive Owen, and she looks like Keira Knigthley: http://pics.livejournal.com/serge_lj/pic/0004kt3b I considered using that one, but people might have found that too silly. :-)

From:

Thanks! So far, we've been celebrating by rearranging some of Sue's many boxes of clothes. Next, she'll resume plotting her proposal for a fantasy book, which I'll hopefully be able to contribute to with reasonably intelligent suggestions. After that, we'll go to Outback for dinner, then back home for a movie.

From:

Ah. This is a useful thing to know.

From:

Useful especially since it means she can never get mad at me if I forget some anniversary. Heh.

From:

Happy Anniversary!

From:

Thanks. Since there was nobody else around, it was a quiet affair, but it was nice. I expect that her 50th birthday, during the Holidays, will be a bigger deal because we'll be in the Bay Area, where her family lives.

From:

Heck no. It's a Law of Nature. It goes hand-in-hand with the other Law of Nature that states "One member of a couple must be hot, requiring open windows all winter long; the other member must be cold, requiring heat in the summer." About the only Law of Nature we do not follow -- because we are unnatural sorts of beings -- is the toilet seat one. We don't have to worry about it being up or down.

From:

Nope, nope, nope -- you are still required to remember all of the other anniversaries. Heaven forfend that I forget one! (Or forget to ask how her day was...) ;-)
