Well here we are. The cutest couple you ever did see. No, really. I mean it. I'm the pretty one. With the brown hair. The other one's Bo.
Bo's the most beautiful human being, inside and out (check out those eyes), that I've ever met (and would have to be to put up with me for more than 2 years) He's wonderfully intelligent and has the most outrageous sense of humor that always keeps me laughing. He always knows the right thing to say to cheer me up, and I'm never happier than when we're together. He treats me like a goddess and does more for me than I could ever expect anyone to do of their own free will. He makes me feel like I can do anything I want to, and being with him makes me look forward to the future instead of being afraid of it. He even has pet names for me- Stumpy and Pokey. Isn't that cute? I love him lots and lots. You should too. But in a completely platonic way, of course.
Bo also just graduated from Penn at the tender young age of 19. He majored in Computer Science Engineering and minored in Asian and Middle Eastern Studies (Japanese). He now works for Hughes Networks Systems doing... something but making a lot of money while doing it. Bo and I met our Sophomore year at Penn during a party my roommates and I were throwing and we've been together ever since, whether he likes it or not.
At the end of the summer of 2000, Bo purchased his very own vehicle, a 1994 25th Anniversary Trans Am. He is insanely proud of it- being one of only maybe 200 out there. If I do say so myself, it was a nice car. Very nice. Very fast (depending on who's driving it). Very manly. In my opinion, the car was a very obvious attempt at masking Bo's extreme geekitude. It's amazing what a pair of sunglasses, a backwards hat and a Trans Am can do to a preppy, kakhi- and polo shirt-clad computer geek. Not that being a computer geek is a bad thing. It's just... geeky. And then, as if driving a status-symbol Trans Am wasn't bad enough, Bo bought a new car after just a week of work at Hughes. He went from a 275 horsepower white behemoth to, get this, a 150 horsepower turbo charged Beetle. Yes, a VW Bug. My how things do change! AND THEN, not three months later, Bo traded the Beetle in for a 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder GS T . The sun roof of the Beetle and the T-tops of the Trans Am didn't provide enough air flow, so now he has a convertible. The Beetle has been traded in, the Trans Am has been sold.
