best compliment ever?

Brandon has given me tons of nice compliments ever since we first started dating, it's something I have really appreciated. The other day, however, he wasn't quite as smooth as he normally his. We were driving up to his house to have a 4th of July BBQ with his family and we stopped by this farm place so I could see where we're going to have our reception. (It looked really cool, just a pretty park with lots of trees and ducks) Sometimes I get car sick and I mentioned that I felt a little nauseous. Brandon told me that he makes lots of girls nauseous. Then he smiled sweetly at me and told me that there's only one girl that makes him nauseous. I gave him a funny look wondering why he was telling me that I make him feel sick but he was just kept smiling like it was a good thing to say. I let him know that people usually don't like to be told that they make them sick. After we laughed for awhile at how Brandon's compliment didn't really come out the way he wanted it to he insisted that it was the nicest compliment he has ever given me and that he was sticking with it, I make him nauseous. (apparently it's suppose to be like having butterflies in your stomach and being nervous, I'm not sure really how he came up with that)

One of my favorite parts of new jobs are the random things you get to learn that you didn't expect to. For example, at my current graphic design job I expected to gain more proficiency with illustrator and flash, which I have. However, I had no idea I would be learning and permanently ingraining into my brain what covalent and ionic bonding is. That's what happens when you spend many many hours trying to figure out how to get those electrons to spin the way you want them to.

At other jobs I've also learned random things. At my first job I had the Dewey decimal system mostly memorized, I knew what categories were where in the library. At the pie factory I learned how far in advance pumpkin pies are made before Thanksgiving, along with how you say "boxes" in Spanish. At the school supply warehouse I learned about drug dealing and how to use a box knife with great skill. At the grocery store I was pretty proud of my ability to name the aisle for any food item you might be trying to find. That's just a few examples, but I think you get what I'm talking about.
