So today LG purchased her plane ticket to the Midwest. She's moving out of her apartment in Maine right now and will spend the next couple weeks with me in Boston before moving in with me for the Spring semester in Iowa City, where she'll look for work (unless she finds something better in Chicago).
This will be the first time I've cohabited with a partner in some sort of official capacity since Psychobitch three years ago. Maddy and I had lived together for most of last summer and that seemed to work out quite well, especially since we both had jobs.
This will still be a test, since I'll be very busy with all the responsibilities of being a grad student, and it's imperative that she find a job to keep herself occupied while I myself work.
She's delighted to see more of you from the region, and the superior metal scene in Chicagoland. Wish us luck!

PP returns from Florida today! I'm a sucker and going to go to his apartment to do his dishes, tidy up and turn the heat on before he arrives.
Stop calling your girl your "partner" ffs. Is she secretly a dude or something?
Also, 'partner' is devoid of the diminutive grammar surrounding traditional relationship vocabulary that of course was always designed to designate a hierarchy, while 'partner' has the immediate connotation of equality.
For a year I had a roommate who was a huge marriage-equality advocate and she made an impression on my use of sexuality vocabulary. Regardless, the gender neutrality of the term makes it a more convenient word to use grammatically, especially in the sentence I wrote above, where I said simply "partners" when referring to my former girlfriends and LG's former boyfriends collectively.
