the muse seems to have awoken from his slumber for a bit. I’m going to save the analyzing for later and just enjoy it; I’ve missed him.

Meet Cute

Gary Fuller

 

1.) What was your first impression of me?

that you may actually be Clark Kent. I’m still not 100% sure that you’re not.

I see you’ve checked your humor at the door. again.

 

2.) What is your idea of a truly romantic evening with me?

you’re adamant that we have a date night every weekend. no matter what we do, whether it’s going to a movie, having a picnic, or ice skating, you always wear a jacket and tie. I tease you about it but you say it’s your way of showing me how important making time for us is to you. and that you really like giving me your jacket when I get cold.

a gentleman is always prepared

 

3.) Something that you’d like to change in me but don’t have the nerve to tell me

when you chew gum, you sound like a cow chewing it’s cud.

moo

Detention with Mr. Fuller? yes, please!

kind, affectionate, never give up on those you love

6.) What is our favorite movie to watch together, and our favorite song?

movie: Fast Times at Ridgemont High

7.) Fruit or vegetable I resemble, and why

Potato, because Trey & Donnie say you have eyes in the back of your head

don’t think I can’t see you, I can. so behave!

 

8.) Our first date, where did it take place and what did we do?

 you had to chaperon Senior Prom and took me as your date. I told Donnie that you drank too much of the spiked punch, to explain away your dance moves. you didn’t actually drink the punch.

sweet baby Jesus.

 

9.) If we hadn’t met, where would you be right now?

late for everything.

taking into account normal traffic patterns and current weather conditions, you only have 5 minutes left to eat before you’re late

 

10.) What was on your mind the last time we were intimate?

my obsession with you in wet clothes is going to get us into trouble one of these days

Trey! turn that off and get back inside! now!

 

11.) What was the first thing we said to one another?

I accidentally rear ended your car on your way to school one morning. when I saw you get out of the car, I became a bit tongue-tied

*Heavenly choirs singing*

 

you weren’t much better than me, flustered because the accident made you late for work. that’s what I gathered, anyway, from the few words I could make sense of out of your rambling. you also told me your name was Gary Morris. I must have given you whiplash, for you to have forgotten your own name! thankfully Trey was with you and took charge of things, even convincing the tow truck driver to drop us all off at the High School. the ride over was awkward, with me not being able to speak and you smiling at me like a goon.

it all worked out in the end because next thing I knew, we were having coffee together in the teacher’s lounge, chatting together like old friends. I don’t even drink coffee. or work at the High School.

Trey filmed the whole thing

 

12.) What do you like the best about me?

your ‘Wise Guy’ impersonation. it’s cute that you think it’s good.

badda bing, badda boom, fuggedaboutit!

 

Can’t Fight the Friction

It’s Meet Cute time again, this time with Thorin! Now it may appear that Thorin & I are at odds a lot of the time, but just keep in mind that friction can be good.

 

Meet Cute: Thorin Oakenshield

 

1.) What was your first impression of me?

in one word: Stubborn

did you stop to ask for directions? of course not

 

2.) What is your idea of a truly romantic evening with me?

this one is tricky, because I know your limits. if we go out, the same thing always happens: we go to a movie, you leave the theater crying. no matter if it’s a romantic comedy or a superhero flick, you cry.

stubborn

 

then you confront the first person who happens to look you in the eye, insulting them for no good reason.

was that really necessary?

 

your buddies show up,

when you’re a Dwarf, you’re a Dwarf all the way

 

and you all end up in jail. every time.

whatever you’re about to say in your defense? don’t.

 

so. a romantic evening for us that I can actually enjoy, is when we sit around the fire after dinner and read aloud to one another.

no, you cannot check Twitter first!

 

3.) Something that you’d like to change in me but don’t have the nerve to tell me

your friends. find new ones.

‘Duuuude!’

 

4.) Which 3 parts of my body are your favorites, and why?

all of this:

no explanation needed

 

and your sword too.

‘that isn’t a body part…’

 

5) 3 qualities that attracted you when we first met, or once you got to know me

you’re strong, arrogant, and have a knack for annoying people without even trying

 

6.) What is our favorite movie to watch together, and our favorite song?

our favorite movie is Reign of Fire – you like fighting dragons and I like Christian Bale, win/win! our favorite song, on the other hand… I’m sure you’ve convinced yourself that it’s We Will Rock You (but it’s really Heigh Ho).

 

7.) Fruit or vegetable I resemble, and why

a Chili Pepper, because you’re hot headed

alright, alright! I shouldn’t have revealed your favorite song.

 

8.) Our first date, where did it take place and what did we do?

it took awhile for me to agree to go out with you, but you kept creeping around until I finally gave in.

 

for our first date you took me to a family dinner. I spent half the night in the kitchen, washing dishes with your rowdy nephews

 

while you where off who knows where, doing who knows what with your cousins.

I don’t even want to know

that memory still makes me mad! you suck!

‘yes, Dear’

 

9.) If we hadn’t met, where would you be right now?

 

10.) What was on your mind the last time we were intimate?

your sword.

Oh Yeah

 

11.) What was the first thing we said to one another?

you ordered me to take your cloak as soon as you came through the door. I dropped it on the floor and walked away.

still my favorite memory

 

12.) What do you like the best about me?

despite your faults, you look damn good in a suit!

 

 

It’s In His Kiss

I answer the Meet Cute questions again, this time with John Proctor doing the asking.

 

Meet Cute: John Proctor

 

1.) What was your first impression of me?

quiet nature, hard worker, with an understated splash of pizzazz

and I do a little turn on the catwalk

 

2.) What is your idea of a truly romantic evening with me?

when you “pretend” that you don’t like my cooking but don’t want to hurt my feelings, so you distract me by randomly reenacting scenes from Shakespeare. *whispers* I forget the salt on purpose.

But soft, what light through yonder window breaks?

 

3.) Something that you’d like to change in me but don’t have the nerve to tell me

you’re too competitive when playing Musical Chairs at parties. calm down, honey! seriously.

this is why we never go out anymore

 

4.) Which 3 parts of my body are your favorites, and why?

your beard, because I like to feel it brush against my face when we kiss.  your hands, because I like the way they wander when we kiss. and your lips, because I like the way you kiss. a lot.

when you sing in the shower

Meet Cute

Around Valentine’s Day I came across a little Q&A that I found kind of cute. it asked questions about your partner but made it seem like they were the one asking, “what was your first impression of me? what do you like the best about me?” I plugged in my own answers in relation to my husband and had a nice walk down memory lane. then I got to thinking about different Richard Armitage characters, imagining the questions coming from them and, well, you know me: a new Challenge is born!
