Partners in Crime

Thursday, October 11th, 2007

After some thought, I’ve decided that what I need in my life isn’t a best friend, or even a boyfriend, but a partner-in-crime.

Let me explain. I’m not planning to rob a bank anytime soon, but I would like to have the kind of relationship with someone (male or female) where I always feel like they’ve got my back, and I know that I’ll always have theirs.

We would be on the same wavelength, and we would sometimes get ourselves in trouble, but we’d always have fun together. A look between us would often say everything; words would be superfluous.

Am I talking about a soulmate? Maybe, but I think the term ‘partner-in-crime’ fits the relationship better. Someone to call to get me out of jail in the middle of the night… not that I’m planning to get arrested, but you know what I mean. Like this funny exchange from Just Like Heaven:

David Abbott: We’re really grateful, Jack.
Jack Houriskey: I’m not doin’ it for you.
David Abbott: Then why are you doing it?
Jack Houriskey: Because someday, trust me, I’m gonna need help movin’ a body. When that day comes, I don’t wanna hear any shit from you.

And here’s BeyoncĂ©’s and Jay-Z’s take on the matter:

    Hey Dale, the more the merrier. I get the feeling that these partnerships may not last very long due to that irritating concept called mortality.
