The perfect proposal and more apologies
::hates hates hates:: Way to start a post, I know, but my computer has broken down, I can't get online or check my emails and I feel so lost! Right now I'm at the university computer lab and it sucks! Something needs to be done about my software and internet connection at home, but as I'm completely clueless and only have clueless friends who study theoretical stuff like I do with absolutely no practical use in real life, I don't know what to do. I'm sure it's only a click here and some changes there... but Microsoft and my provider are killing me with their stupid instructions. Of course it isn't exactly helping that most of the help files are only accesible through the internet. Smart.
At least the sun is shining and it's almost warm enough to go sun-bathing in the nude- which I won't do, no worries.
Now, about the proposal thing- how do you feel about public proposals? Because I simply hate them. Whenever I see someone propose in public or worse, on TV, it makes me cringe. Badly. I just feel that this is a very private moment which you shouldn't have to share with a cheering crowd, telling you to "OMG!111! Say yes already!111". Talk about no pressure. I think if someone proposed to me in public I would say no or run away because I'd be too pissed to seriously consider it.
But back to the actual proposal. A friend of mine asked his long time girlfriend to marry him last weekend. That in itself isn't surprising, they love each other, have been dating for eight years, he's done with school and she has a stable job, too. They already live together. However, he chose to propose on stage, during a theater play they both were acting in, in the middle of a damn scene. How tacky and needy is that? Am I being too critical, intolerant and overall hateful or does anybody understand why I'm so creeped out? The worst thing was, I couldn't exactly hide my thoughts on the subject. Talk about foot in mouth disease... I concluded with a sort of lame ass attempt at telling them how happy I was for them. Which is true, after all, only I couldn't quite get over myself fast enough to express this accordingly. Hmmm. I'll rot in hell.
