oh, where to begin? there is so little to tell. my sense of
adventure left me to become a potatoe farmer in idaho. before it
left i asked it, "why idaho, why not ireland? that has to be more
adventurous than idaho." it responded, "adventure, excitement? i
don't crave these things."<br />
<br />
okay, kidding aside, i asked one of my closest friends to write a
description of me. including, as i so amusingly put it, "the good
the bad and the ugly." i'm hilarious, i know. here is what she came
up with:<br />
<br />
kenner is one of my best friends in the world. i have never
forgotten the first time we spoke (i had a massive crush on him),
and i'm so thankful that after two attempts at trying to make it as
a couple, we recognized that what we are and are meant to be is
simply lifelong, excellent friends. &nbsp;we've seen each other
through a lot of emotional times. &nbsp;of all the people who have
come and gone in my life -- and many more have done that than i
ever thought would -- he has been a constant. &nbsp;he is a steady
rock, brutally honest, searingly intelligent, and sensitive.
&nbsp;he is a southern gentleman, and though i consider myself
independent and strong i do not mind that he insists on walking
closest to the road. &nbsp;his sense of humor ranges from silly to
absurd, including things that occasionally fly over my head. he
insists that i am smarter than him, but i know that he is smarter
than me. &nbsp;i suspect this argument may go on for years.
&nbsp;there are aspects to kenner that i suppose could be
considered "imperfections", but i like to think of these things as
simply non-me-compatible. &nbsp;kenner could be more outgoing and
more willing to get outside his comfort zone. he can be shy.
alcohol helps this. &nbsp;once he opens up he will surprise you,
but getting to know him at first may be difficult, or at least will
require patience. but as tom hanks says in a league of their
own,&nbsp;"if it wasn't hard, everybody would do it. the hard is
what makes it great." &nbsp;which is to say, getting to know kenner
is deeply rewarding. &nbsp;kenner is opinionated about music and
can come off pretty elitist about it, but again, full of surprises.
&nbsp;i have cut a rug with him in my living room to jay-z, against
every expectation. &nbsp;i have also seen him wear a hanson
t-shirt. true story. &nbsp;the man won't be pinned down. &nbsp;when
i was in film school, i became so stressed out and hyper busy that
i sometimes could not find the patience to stay on the phone with
kenner, who likes to take his time with a conversation. &nbsp;if
you are in a hurry all the time, my guess is kenner is not for you
(nor you for him). &nbsp;but if you know how to prioritize quality
of life and great company over the rat race or whatever you want to
call it, then take your time to get to know this man. &nbsp;he is
awesome. &nbsp;and a really good kisser. &nbsp;<br />
