Before the 90s, anime was very obscure in the US, so it must've been quite the shock.

And it kinda sucks having these amazing moments and no one else was there for or could understand even if you explained it. I've had many a hike in the local park and you can hear and see and feel amazing things sometimes - a soothing cool breeze on a hot summer's day, an afternoon shower with rolling thunder in the distance that makes you feel so in awe of nature, mist rolling across the lake. These sorts of experiences are hard to convey in words.
I used to be disappointed when I experienced wonderful things without someone to share them with. Nowadays I can totally enjoy these moments as mine and mine alone. It is wonderful when you do share something like that, but I also realize they may experience it much differently than you.

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain."

Less than two months away. I'm not nervous at all.

....

I'm super nervous. Huge HUGE changes in my day-to-day and I'm absolutely not prepared for any of it. I'm terrified that I'll mess it up somehow.

Our goal is to never go to bed angry. It's easy if you both have reason, empathy and can ditch the ego.

If you do, people will ignore, or it is going to be a sweet story, or highly likely everyone will forget it. :) There's nothing to be terrified. Those changes will go away very shortly and you guys will be one on one. You just need to eat and dance that crowd away. Remember that there are some multiple quests in OWRPG, you need go through near the end of the game, just before the great final end? This is like that. Everything goes. The objective is to relax and enjoy it. I know it is easy to say. But it's really just that.

Congratulations! HUGS!

I talked with the mother-in-law and basically, I have anxiety and need to chill. We're on track and it'll be fine.

The mother-in-law is a lifesaver and I don't know why they get such a bad rap in (mostly boomer) media. Sounds like a skill issue.

LOL. My, ex-MIL would book a one-way ticket to Florida, stay with us indefinitely and rearrange my entire kitchen while I was at work.

Oof, that sounds rough. Unless the new layout is more efficient....?

My MIL is like the all-in-one adapter for her autism and my (probably) ADHD. I found out she eats the same foods a lot, like a LOT a lot and if I don't consume something completely new at least once a month I will literally die, which is going to be interesting when we travel the world.

You know that reward chemical people get when they finish their chores? I get nothing. Bupkis. Zilch. Zero. Zorro. Antonio Banderas. 13th Warrior. Susan Willis. Kevin Bacon.

Novelty is what I crave. C'est la joie de vivre!

Oh sorry to hear that. What did your partner think about it?
