I've got all arms and legs functional and we had a happy time last night,at least she said so.Like attracts like they say,and after 27 yrs we must have smoothed off the rough edges - she knows what to expect from me,I dissapoint her,but she's used to it.We come from opposite sides of the tracks as it were,and when we first got together my lack of education was glaringly obvious.Knowing what her IQ was I said I was surprised that she wanted me around - her reply was ''you don't think I'd hang around with someone who wasn't my intelectual equal'',that made me feel a bit better.I think there are a lot of partnerships like that.
She's not your normal girl,and for many years she shunned ''girly'' things,so I've learnt not to go there,thank goodness,but thanks for the suggestions.But over the years she has mellowed and looks and smells quite presentable these days.
I gave her my old Sony CD walkman,well,it's not even a year old yet,but it won't do what I bought it for,which was to play MP3s.She needs one more than me,as her car radio no longer gets FM.She sings in womans barbershop and needs to listen to and practice songs,using her free time in the car.Instead of transfering to tape,she can use CDs instead.
I wish someone had written down ''the rules of life'' for me when I was younger,I've been floundering the whole way.
In and out of jobs, running free
Waging war with society
