#100 Alexis

Those who have known me for a while have a pretty good picture of my state before I met Alexis. I was a lonely, bitter crank who was addicted to video games. I had pretty much gotten used to the idea that my only solace would be found in my well-used collection of pornography. Then, all of a sudden, everything changed. Alexis, who was then a co-worker, came into my office. I won't lie and say it was love at first sight. But it was love. The more I got to know her, the more I came to love her.

It's hard to believe how much my life has changed in the past couple of years. Alexis and I live together and we're engaged to be married. I've never been happier in my life. I'm healthier and my work habits are better than they've ever been. I've quit smoking and lost weight. I don't drink *quite* so much as I used to either. I also have four very small, very cute, very feline roommates. For all these changes, for all the happiness I now feel, there's only one person to blame, Alexis.

I'm still addicted to video games.
