One Thundering Orgasm of Insane Violence

There are few greater joys in this world than:

*Watching Toddie observe actors as they make decisions he just doesn't agree with.

*Surprising Marcie by showing up at her birthday bash and getting cheesecake-y with David, Sarah, Marvin, Toddie, and Steve. And meeting the oft-mentioned Matty.

*Seeing Toddie and Steve try to out-tard each other.

*Getting a day off for a hurricane that blows by overnight and leaves sunny skies by noon.

*Soaking in a hot tub on a Saturday night with a gaggle of men who have spent the entire day trying to beat the crap out of each other on various offroading vehicles.

*Having a manly mechanic who you are NOT dating grill you up a couple of Tofurky vegan kielbasa sausages.

*Being carried through a grocery store by your handsome beau...who eventually has to put you down and run like hell after crashing you, butt-first, into a display of smoked meat.

*Lunch with a happy couple, and receiving a cookie from Kelly McEachern - because not just anyone is granted access to Kelly's cookie stash.

*Buying Million Dollar Baby on DVD and watching it with someone who hasn't seen it before (and crying slightly less than the first time you saw it.)

*Being away from him for all of six hours and reuniting as if it had been weeks.

*Hearing Sarah French tell a simple tale of grocery shopping - with flair.

*"Hey...you know, these jets are adjustable." Suspecting that you're being hit on by your guy's friend...right in front of your guy! And having a good laugh over it.

*Coming up with a freakin' brilliant Halloween costume idea that requires very little in the way of actual costumes and allows you to both act and behave close to the way you probably would anyway.

*Staying up late to watch movies, knowing that neither of you have to be at work in the morning after all.

*Going to Performance Honda with your guy, who acts as your agent, gets you a really good deal on an '05 CR125R that will spank his bike's ass if you ever get good enough to do so, and going for a ride together on an afternoon when you would normally both be at work.

*The salesman looking a little forelorn while saying, "Man...I can't get MY wife to ride." Yeah, well, YOUR wife isn't a badass.

*Bursting into fits of laughter when you go FLYING off the bike you just bought and skid face first across the ground, eating a decent amount of grass and dirt before coming to a stop.

*Your guy being right there to pick you up and brush you off.

*Finding gear in that combination of brown, pink, tan, and cream that you like so much that screams "I'm a girl! I'm a girl on a dirtbike! Watch me kick your ass!" Or it will someday, when you're actually good enough to kick ass.

*Having scrapes and boo-boos to show off at work.

And nothing is better in this world than:

*The Future, and Love.
