However, the line must be drawn somewhere. The true nature of the dorkiness of your significant other doesn't really come out until after the wedding. There are always hints, but it never comes full circle until it is already too late.
While it is true that I have seen all the Harry Potter movies, along with Twilight and the Lord of the Rings Trilogy; it is amusing that my nerdy wife left out all the other nerdy and mundane things that I have attempted to sit through. She conveniently left out the time I sat through The 10th Kingdom and I can't leave out the Jane Austen movies like Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice. I will gladly applaud any man that can make it through a Jane Austen movie for more than 15 minutes before he starts watching the back of his eyes and snoring. Those movies can cure insomnia.
It is also true that I did not live up to my end of the deal regarding our bet. I'm not really a reader, but I did try and I just couldn't read about the adventures of Harry Potter and Treacle Tarts and whatever else is in the books that have hooked billions of adults. You do realize it is a book for children....just checking for a pulse here. It must also be pointed out that right at this very moment while I'm writing this blog, the wife is reading a book with a dragon on the cover-not sure what it is called and not sure that I want to know.
Let the record be straight. I enjoyed Batman: The Animated Series long before I met the wife and continue to like it to this day. We also have Lego Batman for the PS3.
Also, not a Trek hater, just didn't watch it when I was a child because I was out playing in the backyard instead of watching bad acting and people shooting phasers that looked like Zenith remote controls with handles.
The side of the story that you did not read is the part when I am downstairs watching a sporting event. She doesn't just sit down and read or blog, she complains about wanting to watch something else or guess what; play Lego Batman or Indiana Jones on the PS3! So instead of watching the end of Game 5 of the Magic/Celtics series where Glen Davis hits a game winning shot as time expires, I'm off exploring Gotham City looking for The Mad Hatter or Bane causing mischief and mayhem.
While I have become a bit more nerdy, Krissy has become more perverted. She has quite the extensive vocabulary and will drop the occasional "ass clown" when the moment strikes. I fully believe that everyone is nerdy in their own way and that is what makes us all unique. For example, I am a big Transformers fan, not a big enough one to go to the convention, but a big enough one to buy the entire TV series on DVD. It does bring back good childhood memories where instead of going to work, I could act out battles with Optimus Prime and Megatron. The key word being childhood, but those days are long gone and I digress.
Marriage is a two way street and it is a lot of fun. Regardless of the nerdy things that my wife may do, I'll continue to keep her around even as she continues to lust over fictional characters that can beam through space or fall in love with a human when he is a vampire.
That's right Edward, I know what you're up to.
Side note: Optimus Prime would totally kick Edward's ass.
