FMK - Mom continued

Before I start I want to mention that last.fm is great. I have been so disenfranchised with music in general lately. This site creates a "playlist" from one artist you search for. It is very cool. And it allows me to multi-mediatask! Woot!
ANYWAY, back to how cool your mom is. I will try to keep my thoughts more cogent and coherent this time out. A list format is in order I think.
Baseball: Your mom loves baseball. How cool is that? A hot girl who likes baseball is an amazing find. And she like the Yankees. My favorite team is her favorite team! If she had been a Red Sox fan, well..... But she is not. And she is passionate about her team. She knows what is going on with the team and who is playing well. Currently, she is resisting the love for C.C. Sabathia and Mark Teixeria but she will come around. She even loves to go to baseball games. Not many girls in my life have ever wanted to go to a ball game. Especially not to one that would cost the amount of money that typical Yankee games cost. But she is gung-ho. And that is really awesome.
Cooking: Your mom is a fantastic cook. I mean seriously good. In our entire time together she has made one or two things that I did not like. Everything else has been great. And that is saying something. I will try anything once. Most of the time I will not try that same thing again. But your mom always seems to nail it. From breakfast to dessert she has it down. And you are really lucky because of that. My mom and grandma were good cooks. Everything at the dinner table at my house was always good. But your mom whips out some gourmet food that I have never heard of. You girls will eat well.
Movies: Your mom has really good taste in movies. She does not like bad films. While I enjoy some very questionable films, she is all quality. She turned me on to some great things during our relationship. And it has been a favorite thing of mine to discover new films with her. As a side note, she hates it when I call movies films. She thinks it makes me sound like I am trying to hard. But, that is why I do it, to get this look that only she can give. It is priceless.
Music: Music is not the biggest part of your moms life. She is certainly not into it like I am. However, she gets it. She passed her test with Bright Eyes early in our relationship. She has continued to pass each test with things like Matisyahu and Death Cab for Cutie. She may not realize that she was being tested but she was. Each successful pass lets her keep her "cool chix" card. Her favorite band of all time is The Beatles and I find that hard to argue with.
Geek Stuff: Your mom is such a huge geek it's silly. She really is. Ask her one day to talk about Star Trek and marvel in her geekery. But it is one of her endearing qualities. She can argue about comics. About whether or not Batman has the better rogues gallery than Spiderman, which for the record he does. She can contribute theories to Lost and Life on Mars. She cried at a Doctor Who episode. She buys toys and plays videogames. She has geek apparel. And it is so great that she is like me. I have not met many who can keep up with the voracity at which my tastes change. See, I don't like something and then change to something else. I add to my likes. Constantly. And your mom keeps up.
Acceptance: The most important characteristic about your mom however is that she makes me be comfortable with me. I am a silly, random mess most of the time. I know this and refuse to change it. And your mom accepts it and loves me for it. That is the most awesome thing of all. She gives me peace. She gives me balance.
( there is a very easy star wars reference there but I won't make it, just know I realized it)
