Nerd Marital Bliss

Vy and Jesse are married. Vy is Vietnamese. Jesse is white. Both are nerds. This is a glimpse into their married life. They promise to post SFW content only (mostly).

so predictable

In the baking aisle at the grocery store:

Jesse: Hey look! Cake!

Vy: Oooh! What kind of cake do you want to bake?

Jesse: And three, two, one...

Vy: How about funfetti cake? :D

Jesse: I was waiting for you to say that.

srsly, why cats?

While discussing possible future pets...

Jesse: Siamese cats are pretty too. 

Vy: Lady and the Tramp ruined them for me. 

Jesse: They just want love.

Vy: But they're evil!

ethics don't apply in video games

While playing Skyrim, after a dragon kills an NPC in Winterhold...

Jesse: Are you robbing that dead person's house?

Vy: Um, yeah. Isn't that what you're supposed to do?

[nerdmaritalbliss]

proof-reading is generally considered a good idea

When Jesse and Vy applied for their marriage license... Clerk: Please raise your right hand. Do you swear under penalty of perjury that the information you have provided us is correct?

Jesse and Vy: [ both pause and look at each other ] Uh, let me double-check that application.

because burritos

Vy: Nothing is going to keep me away from California Tortilla, bean allergies be damned.

Jesse: Amen, sister.

Vy: I'm not your sister. That would be gross.

you can't afford to be picky when you're at disneyland

Right before the honeymoon...

Jesse: What rides do you want to go on once we get to Disneyland?

Vy: All of them.

Jesse: Can you be more specific?

Vy: No.

[nerdmaritalbliss]

It's entirely possible we'll arrive at church tomorrow with the status effect 'crippled.'

that one time he said that he didn't go for asians

A couple of months before they started dating, Jesse, Vy and a couple of other friends went to a bar together where they people-watched from the upper floor. While observing men attempt to pick up women, the following conversation transpired...

Jesse: So Vy, what's your type?

Vy: What do mean? Like, personality-wise?

Jesse: No, no. What's your physical type?

Vy: I don't really think I have one--I've liked guys of all types. Blondes, brunettes, I generally prefer for them to be taller than me, but that's about it. I guess a Vietnamese guy would be convenient, but I've given up all hope of finding a Christian one on this side of the country. What about you? What's your type?

[ Jesse goes on to describe someone who decidedly is not Vy, and then continues to say... ]

Jesse: ...and yeah, I know I've found black women attractive before. I don't usually go for Asians, though.

Vy: Oh, well. Okay.

[ Jesse has not been able to live this down since. ]

I shot a fox! What does the fox say? Nothing, because its dead!

Vy, while playing Skyrim.

Duck Hunt counts as prior shooting experience, right?

I'm wearing a dead dinosaur!

everyone wants to feel exotic

Jesse: You're going to play a Nord on Elder Scrolls Online, right?

Vy: Yeah.

Jesse: I think I'm going with a Redguard. That way I can be the exotic one and you can be the white one.

food preferences matter

Jesse: I thought you didn't like Indian food that much?

Vy: What do you mean? I never said that.

Jesse: Well, you reacted poorly when I told you that Indian food is my favorite.

Vy: No, I just resent you liking Indian food more than Vietnamese food.

Jesse: So what you really mean is, "YOUR LOVE FOR ME OBLIGATES YOU TO LOVE MY CULTURE'S FOOD TOO."

Vy: Pretty much.
