I'm the girl who was NEVER going to get married, NEVER going to have kids, and would not even THINK to get involved in a relationship until I had finished university (I was planning to be a psychiatrist) and garnered myself a successful little career. That is, until I met the love of my life: Camden. This fall I'll be going into my second year of the bachelor's degree (4-year) nursing program at the University of Alberta, and he'll be starting his second year of the 5-year computing science program (with a minor in business).
I'm the bubbly, childish 19-year-old (who looks like a 16-year-old) who loves to colour in Precious Moments and Disney colouring books, as well as sketch and paint; I enjoy my old picture books (Dr. Seuss for the win!) and Twilight just as much as To Kill a Mockingbird; and I appreciate the magic of Disney's Beauty and the Beast and mindless chick-flicks and stupid comedies (Scary Movie, anyone?)alongside Brokeback Mountain, Memoirs of a Geisha, and Crash. I love to write both prose and poetry (although my poetry is ALL free-verse; I cannot rhyme worth a damn), and I write both original- and fan-fiction. I love cooking dinner food -- as long as it's pasta or some other one-pot-wonder (sloppy joes!), because I suck at keeping track of when to start the vegetables when oh my God, my roast is charring! -- and baking, especially cupcakes (yum!). I'm an athiest/humanist, but I love to dabble in traditions from other cultures, and I think that faith looks beautiful on a person -- as long as they're not espousing hatred against others. Then I take issue. I use parenthesis waaaay too much when writing bios, and I love the humble but ever-so-useful dash; why yes, I am a grammar nerd (mm, semi-colon...tasty).
He's the serious but silly, geeky 18-year-old (who looks like a 21-year-old) who spends all his free time and money either on me (so spoiled!) or video games. He loves his computer, and will always choose PC over Mac. He loves the classics like Charles Dickens and Shakespeare (blah), but I also got him to read and like Twilight, so hah! He thinks I'm silly-crazy, but he's crazy-silly in love with me, so it all works. He's already called the laundry and the dishes, and plans on being a stay-at-home, work-at-home dad/programmer. He's a strongly religious Judeo-Christian who supports gay marriage and detests many aspects of tradition ("obey", psha!). He knows nothing about proper grammar in English, but has impeccable German, and he's written me several songs, poems, AND a novel.
We're a study in opposites, but it's our similarities which keep us together: our mutual love.
I call him a goober; he calls me love-face. He is my Edward Cullen and I am his Bella (I don't care what people say about Edward being unattainable and Twilight being stupid, nyaa). We are very, very excited to be "officially" engaged at long last, and are happily planning our wedding. Which will be happening sometime in August or September 2012...or maybe 2013, because we're both planning on living with our parents until we finish university and can afford to buy a house/condo of our very own.
