marriage proposal and more
I'm sorry I didn't tell you this story earlier today
ahimsa114, it slipped my mind.
So yesterday the doorbell rings and I open it to this man who says, "oh you have a black cocker spaniel. I'm black, he's black, so we should get along!" I'm telling you this just so you can get the gist of the guy's personality. Anyway, he's doing a job training program where he has to go door to door and talk to people and then sell them magazine subscriptions. And he said "I know you probably don't need a magazine subscription so I've been having people donate them to a hospital," which was fine by me. Perhaps I got scammed out of $10 but at the time he seemed legit. Anyway, then his trainee comes up to the door with him and starts talking to me and to
dimethirwen telling me I have beautiful eyes and stuff. Somehow dating comes up. ("Look at all those pride bumper stickers. One of you must be gay. I love gay people, they are always so happy!) The trainee asks me if I'm married and I said, "No. I'm still waiting for my husband. If you see him send him my way." The trainee says, "That's my cue" and gets on one knee and asks me to marry him. I just laugh at him. The first guy starts telling me my prince charming is coming, he's just off fighting dragons and slaying lions or something. He also says, "He's in Amsterdam!" (My response: "So he's off smoking pot in Amsterdam while fighting dragons?") And the first guy also says the trainee is pretty cheap if he's going to get married for $20 (dimethirwen and I each went in for ten.)
As amusing as being proposed to by a complete stranger is, the really funny part is that was the THIRD PROPOSAL BY SOMEONE I'M NOT EVEN DATING. I'm not even kidding. The first proposal was when I was 18 or 19 by myfavoritepersonever, which later he didn't even remember. And then a friend of mine jokingly proposed and wanted to show us as being in a relationship on facebook. ("Sweetheart, I love you but people know both of us and they'll start asking when we started dating thinking it will be serious. It will be just one big headache.") Anyway, then last night dimethirwen also got on one knee and proposed jokingly. I can't wait until I get proposed to by someone I'm ACTUALLY dating. How novel.
Anyway, today I've pretty much been in a funk because my ankle still hurts from my sprain and I went stir crazy being in the house. Dimethirwen and I went for a walk in the park where I made a daisy chain crown, which I'm currently wearing. And yes, I am wearing flowers in my hair even though I'm not in San Franciso. But I'm close! And today we got free massages and dimethirwen gave me a piggyback ride for about a block. Have I mentioned how grateful I am she's here? So yes. That is life.
