Dating in the Peace Corps
By Tim Daniel and Kaylee Keuthan
1. How do you typically spend your time together?
Kaylee: We joke around, have long discussions, share stories, watch movies, cook together, play games (like Dungeons and Dragons), draw from a bowl of activities we created, and I try and teach him how to be funny.
Tim: Debating if Luke Skywalker could defeat a pack of Velociraptors without his light saber and fighting about whether the cup-holder is pronounced “coo-zee” or “cozy”
2. What are you favorite things about your partner?
Kaylee: My favorite things about Tim are: his sarcasm, his interest in mental health, his brain and most importantly, how different he is than me.
Tim: Small head circumference, slender feet, and she’s a bottomless pit of love for animals
3. What crime would your partner most likely be incarnated for life for?
Kaylee: Probably something along the lines of cheating at a video game or Fantasy Football. For instance, persuading the less-knowledgeable Fantasy Football players into trading their best players or tricking everyone on a Dynasty game to believe he’s your friend, simply so he can dominate the world. **cough cough**
Tim: Public endangerment because she freed all the animals from a zoo when a monkey told her they didn’t like the flavor of the bananas.
4. What is your partner’s spirit animal?
Kaylee: Does a Vulcan count as an animal? If not…then he’s probably a Chicken. They evolved from Dinosaurs, don’t like to be touched by strangers, and enjoy making unusual noises at unexpected times.
Tim: What makes you think it’s just one? She just released all the animals from the zoo.
5. Which fictional couple would you compare you and your partner to and why?
Kaylee: Penny and Leonard from Big Bang Theory. (Except Tim is closer to a mixture of Leonard AND Sheldon.) Tim (Leonard) is the sarcastic and knowledgeable introvert, while I’m (Penny) the expressive, giggly and quirky character.
Tim: Wolverine and Jean Grey. I have an awesome haircut and beard and she’s psychic but only for animals.
#StuffTimSays:
“That’s pretty BASIC of you.”
“I really like your smile. It’s so different. It’s like a box with corners. It reminds me of Jack Nicholson from Batman.”
“It’s not that I don’t like your stories…it’s just they’re not always significant.”
“You’re sure piling down those donuts.”
