When Boyfriend and I first started dating - I can say that now that it's been a whopping two years - he always asked when I was going to change. We're still in that pseudo-honeymoon phase where everything is awesome and we fight over stupid shit like me monopolizing the ordering of desserts or sleeping in on Sundays. I swear we just make things up to squabble about, otherwise things would be too perfect and spontaneously combust one day when trying to decide whether or not we want red or white with dinner - that sounds so pretentious, but it's true.
So Boyfriend will occasionally ask when I'm going to change because I'm obviously too good to be true (seriously, why feign modesty here?) For example, having no strong MLB affiliation pre-Boyfriend, I became a Phillies fan - good timing, too, with that whole World Series thing. Same goes for the NFL and the Washington Redskins. After all, it's more fun to watch the games and and beat Boyfriend in Pick em when I have someone to cheer for (I mean "for whom to cheer," but how obnoxious does that sound?) He does the same for me - nodding at all the right times when I talk about shoes or the weather because I really care a lot about the weather and I understand how that might get annoying.
So... Boyfriend and I have grown close and share similar interests, but I can no longer tolerate SportsCenter. I just don't get it. The show airs 45 times per day. The same shit - I'm sorry, "highlights" - all day long. I guess it's akin to my watching 90210 reruns every weekend on SoapNet, but my memory is so bad it's like brand new information for my brain. But SportsCenter? I can no longer sit there and pretend that I enjoy it. I'd rather have my tongue stapled to the roof of my mouth.
So how do I tell Boyfriend that I'm so over SportsCenter and sports, in general, for now? I blog about it. Sorry Boyfriend, I'm going to need a little more than a month between the end of football and spring training to care about how well Chase is recovering from hip surgery and whether or not JC Romero used performance enhancing drugs.
