My Fred

Yet again another list post with old pictures. At the moment I am in Estonia and all my filmrolls are being processed, so the outcome will be seen the end of the week. Since Valentine's day is very in this week then I wanted to show how awesome my best friend Fred is. My intentions is not to rub it in that I have relationship, however just to write everything down before I forget (have you seen 'The Notebook'?).

1. How long have you been together?
Okou, next month or so it will be six years, basically PhD.
(we can be pretty...

...and we can be different kind of pretty)

2. How did you meet?
We met in 2007 when we became classmates. Sadly we didn't hang in the same gang and weren't even in the same language group (the class was divided in half) so I don't remember him that much. I do recall that he wore dead ugly sandals, however I was too hipster hippie to notice so practical and down-to-earth gentleman like him.
(this is a picture of a class party, we weren't together then however it seems like Fred would like to kiss me there)

3. Who initiated the flirting?
I guess it was mutual. We started hanging out more in 2009/2010. I was newly single and he was playing records at nightclubs, thus it was rather smooth way to create a friendship. Of course big thanks to our friend Ott, who dragged me to all these kind of club nights and later on invited us on a cruise to Sweden, where Fred and I officially started flirting.

4. Did the relationship start smoothly? 
Yes, I would say that. We were single and ready to mingle. It was spring time, the school was almost over, it was great time to get the romance train going.
(The picture of the graduation ball. 
We weren't officially a couple, yet we ditched all our friends just to look at the starts together.)

5. What moment did you know for sure that you were together?
We skipped the awkward "Do you want to be my boyfriend?" part and instead I asked Fred if he would like me to kiss only him now on and he said yes.
(awkward threesome)

6. Do you live together?
Yes we do. After I failed to get into acting school, I followed him to England, so we became housemates just after 6 months together. It could have gone either way, but I am glad it worked out fine.
(my birthday in 2011 and the theme was Royal Circus. 
I add a little crazy to him and he makes me more practical, perfect combo)

(we have been together since I was 18)

7. His best qualities?
He is down-to-earth. He is the best teacher and remains calm despite
how hysteric or emotional I can be. He is caring. He is funny. He is smart. He is hot.
(he taught me to drive! he never gives up, although I give up 10000 times)

8. But his worst?
That he does not think that he has all these above qualities.
(I like you so much better when you're naked)


9. What disagreements do you have, what do you fight over?
As I have borderline OCD and he is a normal person, then I nag about tidiness. I love when books are in height order or teabags are colour coordinated. I know, it is so silly and I am sorry that he has to put up with that. He is actually so clean and the best cook. SORRY, hon.

10. What's the greatest gift he has given you?
His love...öak...NO! I'm not going to be that sleazy. Actually it was pretty cool when he made a song inspired by me and greeted me on radio. (fast forward to 5:19)



11. How do you spend your girlfriend-boyfriend time?
We like to play computer games together, like DOTA and Battlefield, in other words we like to kill. Also we can lay on the bed and talk hours and hours, or laugh at unusual fart sounds. We like theatre and travelling, but that needs more money than we have at the moment.
(us in Hungary, the best just-two-of-us trip)

(note to self - Budapest should be our honeymoon destination)

(us in Amsterdam, first time we were high together)

(us in England, a very important chapter in our life)


12.Why him?
Because we suit together. I like that we are not that annoying couple (or I hope we aren't that), we can hang with our friends without kissing and smooching all the time. We are normal people, who love each other.
(respect!)

(one night stand with extra nights)

(it is awesome to camp together! to hold each other, when wild boars are running around our tent)

(he is my centre if I spin away)

(he is my medicine for PMS)

(he is awesome)

(locked between my legs)

(he makes me fly high)

(kiss-kiss bang-bang)

Advice? I have none. Be single. Be in a relationship. Don't compare yourself with others, just do whatever you want. The love will struck you whenever you least expect it, or at least until the next Tinder date.
