Tonight Craig and I went to the movie theatre and watch The Spirit…I really enjoyed it as I enjoy all films. It was nothing that I was expecting but the movie was so vague in it’s advertisements that I wasn’t really expecting anything but the effects I saw in Sin City with Bruce Willis. Craig says that it wasn’t what he expected and that he felt it was missing something. In my opinion if I movie does what it sets out to do for the hour or two that you sit in front of it watching, without making you fall asleep or walk out… it is doing it’s job well. After we went to the movie theatre I convince Craig to take me to another bar. He ended up getting me a white wine and I drank it faster than I thought I could.

We had a nice conversation on the way home in which I asked Craig if I was a sort of rebellion to him with his family. Craig said that I wasn’t a rebellion but I think that he might not be telling a whole truth considering how I have all the different aspects of a rebellion…because in Scotland Craig is surrounded by many hot white super model looking woman, and he’s really HOT in my eyes (especially when he wears a well fitting pair of pants[which I am proud I got on him tonight] but that’s beside the point)

I am a rebellion in Craig’s Scottish world maybe because:

I’m a girlfriend… not a biker chick as Craig pointed out and really nice and kind but I’m someone who may or may not become part of “the family” one day…and that’s kind of threatening

I’m poor when Craig is very well off.

I’m Black (even though I would say my skin color is somewhat of a mocha and that would affect how people looked at the McCreath family racially for the rest of time)

I’m American …meaning that in the future one or both of us will have to be moving and changing the natural course if we were to never meet each other of our own personal countries populations. (Craig says that Canada is looking for more immigrants)

And also the non-conventional way that Craig and I met…through a friend (Sean McKay) on The LPE…if you don’t know what the LPE is than you need to do some research.

I think Craig gave me a good enough answer to all my questions about my being a REBELLION and I think I asked them in the first place because ….now I realize at the difficulty of my typing that I am a little tipsy…not drunk but not fully here but I think it’s important that I got my concerns out…and I think it’s important that I make a record that this conversation happened and I want to ask whoever may read this…do you think it was RIGHT for me to ask?

Anyway;

As we walked back from the Cinema before we went to the Bar/Pub Craig and I also talked about Firsts, meaning: the firsts we’ve had in our relationship. I brought it up because as I was in the bathroom after the movie I realized that that movie would be Craig and my first movie in a theatre/Cinema ever!. I think it’s important that I keep track of them just for fun so I can keep a record of fun anniverseries later:

So here is my current list of Firsts that I would like to keep track of.

When we first (chatted with) each other: July 22nd 2003 when Craig and I were 14 it was Craig’s birthday and he joined the LPE which I Corinne under the alias Pinker33 had joined in January of the same year.

First Time We (Met) each other: Monday December 15th 2008 at Edinburgh international airport gate…um 19?

First Hug:Monday December 15th 2008 in the terminal…Corinne asked: Can i hug you now? Craig: Of Course!

First Kiss: In Claire’s bed December 16th 2008 Corinne was really cold sleeping on the ground in the bed that was made for her so she climbed into bed with Craig and one thing led to another and they kissed.

First Hello: Physically at the terminal December 15th 2008 mentally July 22 2003

First Phone Call: Craig and Corinne used Jajah for a year before he got a local Skype phone number early 2006 we thinks…

First Date: Technically Craig took me uptown for the first time to see some sites 16th or 17th of December and we met up with his friend Fitz after awhile and we rode some amusement rides..the big wheel and the swing…but without anyone…um, not sure yet.

First-Time Sex: Ask and I may or may not tell…if we even HAVE.

First Talk: On the phone: (I forget and will have to look up but I remember freaking out because of Sean and Craig’s accents.) Online: July 22nd 2003 In person: December 15 2008

First Time We considered being MORE THAN  just friends?A particular conversation which I have a copy of on my computer somewhere.

First Morning: Together: Dec 16th 2008 But Corinne would say: First real morning was December 18th because Corinne and Craig woke up together…in Dundee

I Love You?: Election Day November 4 2008!

First We: Way during that LPE days when Craig and I were planning a huge LPE get together (that never happened).

First Fight: Fight? Does Corinne Yelling and Craig not saying anything back count? No, than in that case…we haven’t had one…Corinne gets upset with Craig but they don’t talk for awhile then Corinne forgives Craig and Craig apologies …sometimes.

First Trip: Up to Dundee…that was definitely December 18th because Craig had a big final that day in Law and he was popping caffeine pills left and right and the final was at 2 but Craig thought it was earlier and Corinne Forced Craig to sleep…that is what Corinne would say was the best sleep that they’ve had together…and the official “first sleep” she would say was REAL…..or from the airport to the City Centre in the Double Decker bus on December 15th…Corinne knew right away that she and Craig would get along like normal even though she was UBBER NERVOUS! OR…ELIE!

First Grocery Shop: Tescos…not sure, but it was in Dundee there have been many more since then. First By Craig : 2 bottles of Irn Bru and Chips(Crisps) and Caramel Shortbread.

First Control: Control? What does this mean? Well I’d say it was Corinne first and then Craig slowly took over when he became more confortable…but in general when Craig began holding Corinne’s hand in crowds…he took over as FULL LEAD.

The Future? Definitely it was Corinne nagging and Definitely during the time of ‘the phone calls’ or maybe the LPE~?

First Notice: Notice? What kind?

First Doctor Visit:

Caring Together

Your Commitment: Halloween  2008…Corinne and Craig decided to MAKE IT WORK.

First time meeting his Parents: December 15th 2008 after a pleasant walk from the city centre…with ALL Corinne’s luggage Craig’s mom appeared at the top of the stairs and Craig’s dad came down to help with luggage Corinne shook hand with Ron and hugged Sheona

First time meeting her Parents:

First SERIOUS talk: way too many to count…I think it was the time that Corinne realized Craig was her ONLY Bestfriend.

First holiday together: Christmas 2008

2nd Holiday together: Boxing Day 2008

3rd Holiday together: New Years 2008/2009

First “Yes”:

Holding Hands: I remember we tried it in a public place with fear of seeing someone we knew and it stuck from then on…when Craig began to expect it in every walk…he even begs and asks for it now. Corinne: True?

Craig: Maybe.

Drunken make-out sessions: Not to happen yet (edited: January 6th, 2009)”just got plastered…liked the happy part didn’t like the sick part. Will not drink Ever again! will drink in moderation!”
