I've never been afraid of the ampersand; I commit to people. When I fall in love, it's usually after a period of friendship, so I already know them and trust them and am comfortable sharing things with them. And from the moment that I fall in love, I'm pretty much fiercely loyal. And if we grow apart (most notably in the case of my high school boyfriend who I dated for about 6 years), I still care about them and enjoy spending time with them. Also, this past week I've been realizing more than ever how much I want a person to come home to after a long day.
There's also the fact that I've always wanted to settle down in a house1 with a lawn and lots of pets and 2.3 children. And I have the skills to be the perfect housewife. My problem will be more of balancing everything I want to do than anything else.
But back to the ampersand. I do make a distinct difference between z & w and zandw. When you remove the spaces, it starts to get a bit weird. When you remove the and (zw), then it gets worrisome/frightening, like a couple I knew in college.
1 - That house will be fabulous, by the way. Gourmet kitchen, ballrooms2, library. Well, the dancing ballroom may be in a coachhouse that has a small kitchen and changing rooms to the side so that I don't have to deal with the large space in my house when I'm not holding a ball. But yeah. It will be a fabulous house, if I ever get to design/build it. And that ex-boyfriend of mine will come in handy, since he's in architecture.
