It was nothing special, to be honest. She just came down yesterday morning and I asked her. She said yes and then we went out to pick the ring out :tmyk:
I have nothing to say besides congrats. Oh wait, yes I do, the best proposals are the ones where its so expected and so obviously coming and so easy of a decision to be made that they're no big deal.
Maybe the girl could do the proposin' huh? It's a lot of pressure for a guy to have to figure out when the right time for such a thing is.
But congrats Bruce. I don't think I had said that yet. And here I was boggling over the logistics of how to crash a wedding in Texas. Now I have to consider Britain.
I am currently on an international teleconference sales call with colleagues around the world, and I'm not wearing any pants. I love working from home.
Because it's a cultural tradition that just hasn't completely faded away yet. I think there are still ideas floating around that women are supposed to be discerning and disdainful of the ravenous advances of men. So that means that many females are probably a little less likely to take initiative, and feeding into this, many males probably feel it's their duty (and right) to make said ravenous advances.
On that note, why do guys have to do fucking everything to even start a relationship?
Definitely NOT true. I was courting Eric for MONTHS before he actually agreed to go out with me.
Then again, he actually had a freaking waiting list of girls to go out with him. So, your solution? Have some amazing charm, be physically attractive, be at least 2 years older than the girls you're going after, and have some sort of talent that will make girls swoon. Like a wonderful singing voice! Or something like that.
Then it'll be super easy to get a girl. You just have to pick and choose from your waiting list of eager girls wanting to spend some time with you. Your biggest concern at that point is having enough money to take girls out on dates.
So, I bought some Madhouse Munchies (awesome, low fat, organic chips from Vermont) last week, and found that three of the bags were rancid. We called them to tell them about it, and they sent us free chips. So now I have seven large and seven small bags of assorted flavors.
I also learned today that I have a 101 in my English class.
Carlo and I went to w00tstock v1.0.1 last night! Awesome performances from the whole gang, and I got their autographs plus the sweet official shirt and poster. w00t! ...stock!
I hit 110 mph in my car tonight. It's the fastest I've ever gone and I don't think my car would be able to go much higher. I consider this a success because I'm still alive.
lol, congratulations!! I know the pride. The last time I drove a car over 100 mph it was in my car my dad bought for my birthday a few months ago. I love the feeling. And yeah, totally not a nice thing to do to your car.
I've realized that I've taken every car I've driven over 100 mph at some point. That includes my dad's Impala (not sure what year), my mom's, oh, 2004 minivan? The car I own now, a 2003 Chevy Cavalier... But my old 91' Chevy Pickup definitely takes the cake as success for going over 100. That poor old thing starts shaking as soon as you take it over 85, and the speedometer only goes to 95. I can only approximate how fast I went, but seeing as how I saw the other end of the speedometer over near the 5 mph line, I'd judge I took it about 105.
Lol I'm so reckless. But goddamn I love driving fast.
Nice job with the pick-up, I can only imagine how much of a chore it would be to get something like that going that quick. I have an 02 Honda Accord right now. And come to think of it, I've only ever driven sedans. I've never known the joy of having to park a minivan or merge in a truck. My life feels so unfulfilled.
Parking a minivan is a lot easier than parking a 91 pickup truck. And every time I took a vehicle over 100 mph it was during a (fairly) long road trip. The truck took a lot of buildup hahaha.
I don't think my car can go over (lemme look up how many kilometers a mile is).. uh 85 mph. It just seems like it would be too many revs for the engine!

Were you disappointed when you passed 88mph and didn't go back in time?

Quick, everyone get engaged to everyone else on the forum.

Stupid speeding tickets.
