At times my significant other and I are complete opposites. In fact when we started dating a lot of our friends were confused but then after seeing us together they got it. Clearly there are enough things we have in common to make it work but there are times we both have to bend and step out of the box when it comes to social circles. This weekend was one of those times.
The theme of this past Saturday was "Country club preppy girl falls for punk rock boy". Normally we are both working so much or have the kids that we don't go out so it really doesn't matter but this weekend our friends put together an art show and since it was our weekend without the kids we went. I always get nervous going to these things. Put me in a bar with our friends or have them at our house and it's all good, put me in a situation that I'm not used to and it's a different story. Now mind you I'm a preppy girl, no tattoos and pastel nails. Then throw me pretty much into an episode of Portlandia. It was awesome seeing our friends and their incredible art but they added music also. I'm pretty sure I lost some of my supersonic hearing and also understand why my significant other is hard of hearing after years of touring and playing in venues. He of course was reminiscing when people kept asking him what band he is with now. The answer - "I don't have time for music anymore". Now I've heard his "music" and "singing" and I can't associate it with him. He sounds possessed. I love him dearly... but possessed. Anyways, I got through the night and back on even ground the next day at Easter where we both wore pastel colors.
Just goes to show every pot has a lid, even if it might be a little different.
