Ahem. Me and Nick have been dating longer than anyone else I know (I think anyways), so I thought I'd fill this out too :)! (I did make a few changes to some of the questions though, since we are not actually married.)
What is your partner's name: Nick
What is your partner's name: Nick
How long have you been in a relationship: 5 1/2 years. (It will be 6 come June 10, 2008).
How long did you date before you moved in together: about 4 years. We MIGHT try to buy a house together next year, but we'll see ;).
Who eats more: Nick. He tries to eat 4000+ calories a day. This is really annoying to me because if I eat more than 2100 I start to gain weight. He never does. Guh!
Who sings better: It depends on what you prefer to listen to. Something akin to a beautiful songbird (haha) or a Dave Mustaine immitator. It's your choice :).
Who is smarter: Nick is definitely smarter than me...which means he's really smart because I am definitely above average. He might actually qualify as a genius or something.
Whose temper is worse: Mine. Nick is very even tempered which can be a problem when I feel like "expressing" myself because he won't respond in a like manner. It's probably for the best though.
Who does the dishes: We both do. We try to do it so that he unloads and I load, but most of the time that's not what happens. It's usually like he'll do the dishes for a few days because I am being lazy, and then I'll do them once, then he'll do them for a few days more just to make me feel bad (LOL), and then I'll start to feel really bad about being such a slob, so I will do them for a little longer than a few days, and then we'll get back on track, and then the cycle will repeat.
Who pays the bills: We both do. Nick pays a portion of the rent and all the utilities. I pay a portion of the rent and groceries.
Who cooks dinner: We both do. I might cook him dinner slightly more than he cooks me dinner, but it's usually pretty even. Also, those "slightly more" times are usually oven-baked pizza nights :).
Who drives when you are together: It depends on whose car we are in. Although, sometimes when it's my car, I will force him to drive.
Who is more stubborn: Nick is definitely more stubborn than me, which is something because I am pretty stubborn. But, I am stubborn for maybe a day before I get over it. Nick can be stubborn for years on any given issue...I'm pretty sure.
Who is the first to admit when they are wrong: Me. It's usually me just throwing a tantrum, so I'll apologize about 10 minutes afterwards.
Whose parents do you see the most: Well, I see my Dad the most because he is closest. Nick has odd hours so he can't come everytime I hang out with Dad. Then for holidays we try to split it up, but I would say we see Nick's parents the most, simply because his parents are still together and mine are divorced, and now in different states, so it's hard to see my parents equally or something.
Who kissed who first: Nick kissed me first. But I asked him if he was going to do it. So, I guess it's a toss up.
Who asked who out first: In high school, Nick asked me out first. He was googly eyed over me. When we started dating again when I was about to turn 20, I guess I asked him out first, since I invited him over to my house to hang out. But he was still googly eyed over me :).
Who asked who to move in together: I asked Nick to move in with me. Then about a year or two later he finally did.
Who is more sensitive: I am definitely the more sensitive one.
Who has more friends: Oh, I dunno. Probably Nick. I kind of stopped making friends after my first year of college. So I have my sisters and other family members, my high school friends and then like one or two friends from college. Nick has his high school friends, his college friends, and now his work buddy friends and then who ever else he decides to be friends with. So yeah...Nick.
Who wears the pants in the family: Mmm...I don't think either of us is dominant. I can be bitchy, but Nick does not consistently give in to me... But, then I am kind of a pushover when it comes to Nick... I dunno. I think it's a toss up.
Where did you meet your partner: at lunch time in high school. We went to Homecoming together :).
Where was your first date: I don't remember. It was in high school sometime. Nick remembers because he doesn't ever forget anything, but I forget things all the time, so yeah...no answer. Unless you are talking about when we started dating again right before I turned 20. Then I guess it was at my house to watch wrestling.
What was the first thing you said to your partner: It was probably a quietly muttered "hi". I was dark and quiet in high school. Or, I think I was. Other people might say differently. I was definitely quiet though.
Where was your first kiss: On Kyle Swan's deck in 1998.
When did you start dating: Well, we dated for a couple of months in high school, during the Fall of 1998 I believe, but then we broke up. Then I moved to Texas in 1999. I moved back to VA in 2002. Then we officially started dating June 10, 2002. Or, that is the date we celebrate because that is when Nick asked me if I would go out with him officially (we had been seeing eachother for a little bit before this) and I said yes. It's basically the same as an engagement.
Where was your first apartment: Falls Church, VA.
What was your 1 year dating anniversary like: Hmmm...I think we probably went out to dinner somewhere. I don't really remember. I'll have to ask Nick. I remember what we did last year for our 5 year anniversary though :). We went to King's Dominion for the day, and then we had Dinner at Mom's, which is a cute little pizzaria/italian restaurant in Arlington, VA. I guess Nick didn't think that was special enough though because a week later, he took me out to a pretty expensive Italian restaurant in Burke, VA. I don't remember the name though...Nick would know...
What was your first vacation together: I think that the first vacation we ever took together--by ourselves and not just with friends or to visit family--was a week-end camping trip out to Wolf Gap (I think that was the place) in WV. I loved it and would like to do it again sometime!
If you could have changed anything about it, what would it have been: Nothing :). It was perfect.
I will tag: Anna and Aunt Jeanne.

So adorable, Olivia. :)
I enjoyed reading more about you. I'm sure you don't remember me...AT ALL- but I was friends with Celeste when we were 12 and 13years old while we were living in Germany. You and Orianna wer LITTLE.
I think you are so cute! It's uncanny how much you look like Celeste in this photo- wow! I thought it was her at first.
I vaguely remember you and your family...I was very little though, and my memory is pretty awful, so it's not much. But, thank you and thank you :)!
I'm sorry, Livvy... I should have tagged you too, since you and Nick are practically married, hell, not counting high school, you've been with Nick as long as I've been with Russ!
I remember the first time I met Nick. I stopped by Dad's house and you two were hanging out in the living room watching TV. And Nick was wearing an AC/DC t-shirt with the sleeves cut off!
I'll play along...
What is your partner's name: Dennis Looney. If we ever get married, I'm going to have to really think about taking that last name!
How long have you been in a relationship: Three and a half years total. Two years the first time, took a year off and now a year and a half.
How long did you date before you moved in together: Um...haven't quite moved in yet. Three quarters of my stuff is in his house...I'll be fully moved in by the end of the month, hopefully!
Who eats more: He eats more in one sitting, I eat more times a day.
Who sings better: Dennis
Who is smarter: Dennis is pretty knowledgeable of a lot of things...but I wouldn't say he's smarter...we just are better at some things than the other.
Whose temper is worse: Mine, but it's not like I go all psycho and yell. I usually just pout.
Who does the dishes: He'll pile them in the sink and I'll finally put them in the dishwasher when I get tired of looking at them. I have a feeling when I move in it'll be the same.
Who pays the bills: He pays his, I pay mine.
Who cooks dinner: Cook? We eat out or do the fast food thing. I am going to try Celeste's lemon chicken one day.
Who drives when you are together: Mostly him. He has a company car...FREE GAS!
Who is more stubborn: Me.
Who is the first to admit when they are wrong: Dennis. I'm never wrong ;-)
Whose parents do you see the most: His.
Who kissed who first: He kissed me...these strange little butterfly kisses on the corners of my mouth! It was cute but at the same time I was thinking, "Can I get some tongue?" :-)~
Who asked who out first: Dennis
Who asked who to move in together: Me. I'm definitely the one who keeps trying to progress the relationship...my clock is ticking! ;-)
Who is more sensitive: Gag...me. I'm a typical Cancer...moody, sensitive, emotional!
Who has more friends: I have lots of aquaintances, but no real "best" friends. Dennis has one good and one "best" friend for 15-20 years but few aquaintances.
Who wears the pants in the family: We pretty much do what we want regardless of how the other feels (ie. him going to Europe without me). Hmm...now that I said that I wonder if the answer would be him?
Where did you meet your partner: Match.com. Vegas REALLY does suck when it comes to meeting guys.
Where was your first date: We met for coffee at a Starbuck's...the same one he saw me at a month previous when I was on another Match date! (I didn't see him though).
What was the first thing you said to your partner: Since we met on Match, we had to do the email thing for a while...but he initiated the contact.
Where was your first kiss: Green Valley Ranch (it's a casino/hotel/resort) parking lot. We went to a bday party at a club there and after he walked me to my car.
When did you start dating: July 2003 then July 2006
Where was your first apartment: Las Vegas
What was your first vacation together: Florence, Oregon to visit his family. His mom loves me! Yay!
If you could have changed anything about it, what would it have been: Nothing.
Haha! It's sad but he had to throw that shirt away :(. See...this is fun :). Anna...Jeanne played, so now you have to too!
Hrm... now I know what to get Nick for Christmas!
