Communication Breakdown
I must have learned it as a child, but when I am particularly needy (read: whiny), I take the opportunity to whine in a second language. Hence, my boyfriend needing to know basic Spanish to understand my needs. It's gotten to the point where when the boyfriend hears me say "Hola," his right eyebrow shoots up, as if to say, "What do you want now?"
Me: Buenos noches.
Boyfriend: Hello...
Me: Yo quiero una guitarra.
Boyfriend: Mmhmm.
Me: ¿Usted sabe lo que quiero?
Boyfriend: Hmm?
Me: ¡Una guitarra!
Boyfriend: Yeah, I heard you. Guitar-ra.
Me: ¡Yo quiero una guitarra!
Boyfriend: Okay, in a couple weeks.
Me: ¿Que?
Boyfriend: Yup.
Me: ¡Yo quiero una guitarra!
Boyfriend: Later.
Me: ¿Porque?
Boyfriend: Porky? You calling me fat? And you want a guitar? Pssch.
Me: Nooooooo! ¿Porque?
Gosh, I hope I get a guitar. My ultimate goal is to be a rock star.

if you're serious about the guitar don't do what i did. you ought to buy right off the highest quality guitar; that way, you don't feel the need to buy the just-a-lil-bit-more-quality guitar. my first was chinese made from the internet; my seventh was a les paul. all of them, despite quality cost me more than i should have.
