A house of contradictions...

You know, this really happy feeling washed over me last night. I got home from work and needed to wind down, so my fiance' and I watched a little TV. For one hour, we flipped back and forth between an OLN special about "Lord Stanley's Cup" and a CMT countdown of the all time best country comedy shows. How could two worlds be so different, yet coincide happily in the same household? J and I are both passionate studies in conflicting interests that complement each other. I love the ballet, look forward to ADF every summer, and appreciate theatre, trying to squeeze in some new, limited-run musical every trip to New York. Yet I am just as comfortable tail-gating before a sporting event (really almost any sporting event). I can talk game analysis with the guys better than about 85% of females, but oh, how I love expensive cosmetics and have a nail polish collection to rival any woman's. My fiance' is a good old boy, raised to say "yes ma'am" and appreciate staying up all night to cook a pig, but at the same time he appreciates a great gourmet meal and is fantastic (if a little obsessive) in the kitchen. He likes NASCAR, but he LOVES hockey. We both love modern art. Say what you want about the South, but trust me. We aren't a bunch of dumb old yokels...we gots culture, too.
