Today in History

Today, [livejournal.com profile] cheshcat is 14,061 days old.

"Why is this significant?" you might ask.

Because today, my relationship with [livejournal.com profile] cheshcat is 4,687 days old.

"Huh?" you might reply, scratching your head.

These numbers are significant because, as of today, we have been together for 1/3 of her life.[*]

By complete coincidence, today is also fifteen years since my high school graduation. Following a hot and boring commencement, I went with my best friend JW to get a celebratory pizza. My loving and supportive family attended the ceremony, then promptly dispersed. Sometimes I am amazed at how I turned out okay -- and accomplished -- coming from such dysfunctional roots. In any case, given that my high school years were intensely unhappy, that graduation was significant because it was the end of a very bad chapter in the story of my life.



[*] For what it's worth, today I am 11,779 days old and so, as of today, [livejournal.com profile] cheshcat and I have been together for 39.79% of my life. But that just is not as interesting a number as 1/3, is it?.

Did you guys just sorta happen to notice that? or didja think "we've been together about 1/3rd of her life.." and decide to figure exactly how close to 1/3rd it acually was?
