Thing(s) your SO introduced into your life?

[threecheers9980]

How to love myself for who I am - It's something I'm still working on.
Country music - Joe is a big fan of country music. I listened to country ever now and then before meeting him, but I listen to it more now.
Quantum Touch - A form of energy healing. He's into energy healing. I've actually undergone a couple QT sessions already and have a couple more coming up.
Being more independent - Before Joe, I was pretty dependent on my parents. Now being in a relationship, I feel more independent. I book hotel rooms and all that stuff.
Christianity - I grew up Lutheran, but from like 1999-2009, I didn't really have a religion. I dabbled in a lot of New Age stuff and studied astrology and read like every book Sylvia Browne had written. But then one day we were talking and he made a comment about how he was sad that we wouldn't be in heaven together. The thought of not being with him in this life scares me, so I was scared and sad about not being with him in heaven. And it was that night that I became a Christian again. Although I don't follow any one denomination.

I'm sure there are other things to, but that's all I can think of for now.

*is late to this thread too* ; ^ ; What is it with me lately?

Things Alex has introduced into my life... PC gaming, for one... Drowtales/PtP, beef jerky (I used to hate it but then we were at his house and he offered me some so I grudgingly tried it and found I liked it), fedoras >w<, confidence in myself and my abilities, a little happiness in myself (working on that one, though), being carefree about my looks, Tim Horton's (I crave it. ; ^ ; I crave it badly. Someone take me back to Canada now, please), Steampunk, and a couple anime series. ^^

Also, he introduced me to several good songs and a few bad ones (that get stuck in my head) and lots of Lewis Carroll stuff (he's a fanboy, especially of Alice in Wonderland)

Anya has introduced me to Church again after a 19 year absent. I never had a Cell phone until I needed away to communicate with text messaging, so picked up a blackberry and i have not looked back, love the thing, love the MSN messenger on it. Started my first savings account. I bought my first webcam and what else, she has introduced me to Malaysia culture.


But, I think the number one thing she has brought to my life, is a goal. I never had any goals in life, no purpose. Now, I have someone I Love and want to spend the rest of my life with, she has brought me Happiness, where before I had nothing. Now, Its just not me anymore and I now have to think of the future and set goals to look forward to being with Her.

Dexter - A sick and twisted TV show which I have grown to love because of him.
The confidence to be on Webcam as I hate cameras.
Love, I have never loved before.

I'm not quite sure what else however I'm sure there will be more soon

[NaNi]

My SO introduced quite a few things into my life since she is my very first girlfriend... my first kiss, love and intimacy. She also introduced me to other things, like... Flight of the Conchords (Musicians/TV Show) and also Facebook and Skype! I bet there are other things as well, but those are the ones I can think off the top of my head right now.

[ForGodAndNation]

She put love into my hateful heart. She guided me to Christ without pushing me. She taught me to believe in myself when no one else would. She gave me strength by having strength. She taught me how to be monogamous and to be completely fine with that. Musically...now I listen to crap because it reminds me of her.

[Sixx]

-Skype, I've always had enough with MSN, but I got skype for him so we had multiple options in case one didn't work.
-Planes, he has always wanted to be a pilot, and even attended an aeronautical school, but for some reasons it won't be possible to make his dream come true.. but even thought that, he loves planes and that stuff
-Italy, I'm trying to learn his language, of course. And he's also showed me some Italian music and culture.

[Bluestars]

*Lost
*Some music: Fleet Foxes, Jose Gonzalez, Radiohead, and Coldplay
*The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings
*And Crawfish

I wish I knew what I have introduced him to though that he actually likes...

[Erika]

Before I met him, I was a total indoors person. But he loves the outdoors and has taught me a lot about hunting and fishing. It's fun!

He's also got me really hooked on cheesy romantic comedies. :P I would have never watched them before, now I can't get enough of them.

And of course he showed me what love really is.

[EclecticWoman]

He introduced me to the Smashing Pumpkin's music, as well as Glenn Miller.
He introduced me to the Philosophies of Nitezsche, Rousseu and J S Mills (and many more)
He explained a lot more political mumbo jumbo (which I love)
He gave me the little extra push I needed in order to enrol for university
He challanged my faith and (ironically) made it grow much stronger since I had to reason everything out!
He gave me a sweet sense of stability
He accepted me as I am (somethng only one other person has ever done) and he has given me a never ending (and awesome) READING LIST!

He also showed me what it was like to be in a mature realtionship, to compromise (and to not compromise) , to give up control and to be vulnerable.

[Kiyenna]

Harry Potter! My parents said it was all evil and I could never watch it, but I really wanted to and he pushed me over the edge and got me to start reading the books and I love them!

Pokemon. I don't know what I think of that yet. He recently sent me an oldschool GameBoy Color game and he named the folder, "For the Benefit of Stephanie's Lost Childhood" because my parents wouldn't let me have anything to do with that either. lol

Sexuality! o.o; My parents' church pretty much crushed it and made it obsolete. Didn't take too much coaxing to get it back, though. . .

Drizzt Do'Urden (No one here is nerdy enough to know, but <3 <3 <3!!)

The Matrix and Fight Club. Two of the most awesome movies ever. XD

MGMT! Kids is like, the best song everrr.

And he taught me how to play and showed me around the MMORPG I met him in. Pretty great man. . . I know I'm forgetting a lot, but that's just a few great things he's shown me.

[elina]

He's shown me what it's like to feel like the most amazing/beautiful girl in the world (it's pretty nice, by the way). I've never worn that much make-up in the first place but he's made me see that I am beautiful without it too.
He's shown me what it's like to be in an actual loving and caring relationship and how it feels.. to be more loved than you ever thought was possible.

He's taken me to some beauuuuutiful places in England (and Scotland) and shown me what a beautiful, historical country Britain is ♥
And he's also introduced me to some awesome British sweets like crumpets, Maltesers (yum ♥) and flapjacks ;>

Pretty sure there's more stuff but those are the ones I can think of at the moment..

I love him ♥

I had this irrational scorn towards Lost (don't ask why - I have no idea) and Paul had me actually watching it (he loves it and takes it very seriously :-p) and I'm absolutely hooked (although I STILL haven't finished series 6 because torrent's screwed up on me and I can't find a genuinely decent site which works from the UK -_-).
I hadn't read anything by Terry Pratchett before I met him either, and I'm glad he's such a massive fan :-D
He's brilliant. Oh! And Coupling (it's a TV series - I know it sounds odd xD)
