(no subject)
back to reality:
ten pm rolled around last night, which meant it was time for me to leave work for the evening. Michele, a coworker of mine, was due to leave at the same time and since it was fairly cold and she lives close-ish, I told her I would give her a ride home in my automobile. It was her last day as a CVS slave so I figured this was only appropriate.
we got to the car and I hopped into the captain's seat. She was standing next to the other door so I unlocked it for her, but for whatever reason she wasn't opening it; I looked around to figure out why and there beside her was a dude in a hooded sweatshirt looking like a sketchy motherfucker. I thought she was about to get raped and shot, but before I could do anything (scream like a bitch and drive away?) I hear her say "What are you doing here?????" Then the guy gets down on one knee and busts out this giant ring and says "Will you marry me?"
The girl flips out. "OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD!!!!! etc etc" I get out of the car and walk around to where they are- she just keeps freaking the fuck out while the guy gives me this giant shit-eating grin the whole time (which was good, because I half-expected him to think I was trying to boink his girlfriend). She remembered i was there and said "Well I guess I don't need a ride home...." and so I gave them a thumbs up and left them to their engagement. The most impressive part is how well he surprised her- the guy doesn't even live in mass. and she had no idea that he was even coming into town, let alone fixing to wed her.
badass.
(side note: it's impressive that I don't have the attention span to remember what tense I'm writing in at any given time. Nor do I have the wherewithal to correct the discrepancies)
