It's Not You, It's...No, Wait, It's You

Surprise, cheesy. Your boyfriend and I are always working in secret behind your back…

Dating long distance sucks, and we all know this. There’s all sorts of obvious reasons, but when I travel alone I think about all the little things that you miss out on by being apart. Every day we see so many things and think so many thoughts that it is impossible to give someone a real answer to “What did you do today?”. Most of these things aren’t worth telling anyone about, because, honestly, who cares? But the thing you lose with long distance is the chance to experience these daily things with the person you love. None of it really matters, but it adds up slowly, day by day.

So here’s a short list of all the things that I did in Vegas that made me think of supercheesy, leaving out all the stuff that was actually cool:

*Finding a power outlet at the airport.

*Noticing that the Jersey Boys Theater light bulbs don’t always blink in sets of three like you’d think.

*Getting annoyed when people sitting next to me hold their wine glasses by the bowl.

*Remembering that I would never have noticed that before falling in love with her.

*Wondering how germ-infested casino chips are.

*Wishing I could un-think that thought.

*Wondering where my dove?

*Oh god these poker chips are so gross.

*Leaving a big tip while alone in the forest.

*Watching Clint Eastwood kick ass.

*Talking to a taxi cab driver about his friend’s gambling problem.

*Finding out that Sashi is really lame.

*Getting annoyed by countless strangers telling me to play the Holdem Bonus Bet.

*Knowing it’s a sucker bet by 8.5406% and being able to prove it when sober.

*Seeing a Google WiFi beanbag in the airport.

*Wondering why on earth you can take a lighter on an airplane.

*Throwing up in my mouth when I see couples.

And so much more that I don’t remember despite my best efforts. I love you and I miss you, supercheesy! <3
