Just Perfect

if left uninterrupted, Martian has this astronomical ability to talk and talk and talk and not stop until he loses his train of thought. give him any topic - economics, healthcare, Wolfowitz, the latest Jay Leno, office politics, his cute girlfriend ahem ahem - and he can talk till kingdom come. he doesnt even need you to say anything in response! it’s like this big long monologue that never ends. sometimes when we’re on the phone and i sense one of his epic-sized soliloquies coming on, i just start sorting out my wardrobe or painting my nails or something. yet listening to him the whole time, but of course; and always remembering to throw in the occasional ‘mmhmm’ and ‘then what?’, naturally, like a good girlfriend would.

if anyone else did that to me, as in went on and on and on and on and on and ignored me at the same time, i would probably roll my eyes, tell him not to call me again, and hang up.

but because it’s Martian, i lovingly keep listening to every word, sitting back and giggling in my heart at how long-winded my boyfriend can be. damn cheong hei but so cute. like my mother liddat. sometimes i like to count in my head how many minutes it takes for him to realize that i’m not saying anything at the other end of the line, heeheehe. the record is 13 minutes 54 seconds.

(and i can say all this with bold abandon, because Martian has decided to boycott my blog. hence he’s never going to read this. haha!)

when you love someone, all their imperfections are perfection in your eyes. and there is nothing about Martian that i can bring myself to dislike. i love everything nice and unnice about him. to me, the sum of all those things just make him so Martian and so cute and so lovable and so mine. and i wouldnt have it any other way.

except for the fact that he wants to boycott my blog.
