Whoa, Ned just got a random proposal. This afternoon this thread is really having highs and lows.

Dan, did you really ask R0bin C. out? I HAD NO IDEA.

Involved. Sparks might help you at a time like this:

I married myself
I'm very happy together

Long, long walks on the beach, lovely times
I married myself, I'm very happy together
Candlelight dinners home, lovely times

This time it's gonna last, this time it's gonna last
Forever, forever, forever

I married myself

To bring us back to lulz, I should try to remember the horrific heartsick love song I wrote after she said no. It definitely contained the line "R000000bin/Why can't you see/How much you mean to me?" sung in a pre-"More Than Words" style.

me at 13 = one incredibly embarrassing little dude

That is kind of adorable, Dan.

Also, everyone at 13 is pretty embarrassing.

lol i <3 that sparks song! it is one of my aim status message choices i hvae saved.

Sparks do indeed help. although that sounds to me like a "no".

to be fair, I'm pretty sure Ned can do better.

There's a reason I haven't been putting photos of me at 13 up in my latest Flickr flood.

(But as for everything else...go crazy.)

lol i <3 that sparks song! it is one of my aim status message choices i hvae saved.

Tehresa you are all the more grand for this!

Sparks do indeed help. although that sounds to me like a "no".

But I barely know you beyond a screen name!

Music = Solace

Thank God home computing was still at the IBM PC level or else I might have multitracked that embarrassment into something tangible.

I also remember wanting to dedicate "Broken Wings" by Mr. Mister to R0bin over the middle school radio station, but screwing up and dedicating "Kyrie" to her by accident. ugh

KHJH lolol

MR W0LP3R lololol

I *dreaded* his class, but he was pretty hilarious.

But I barely know you beyond a screen name!

If I had nineteen pence (a dime) for ever time I've heard that one....

xp I just think that is a cruel age to force kids to get up in front of each other and make speeches.

...you'd have thirty-eight pence?

well, yes. but i'm unemployed and what with the economy and such and such....

Every pence counts, obv.

damn me and my taste for expensive 'merican beer. (£4/pint WTFWTFWTF??)

EVERY PENCE COUNTS IN LARGE AMOUNTS

You know, I was SO tempted to post that, Dan.

THINE HANDSHAKE

hi itr! i am meeting my future MIL today... she has presents for me, so that already makes her best MIL ever!

Aw. :-) A good sign.

(And I have posted more old photos on that Flickr link so you all owe it to yourself to investigate.)

Ned, did you post the link? I haven't looked at your flickr page in FOREVER.

Good luck meeting the future MIL, RR - if she has presents for you already, she sounds awesome!

I DID, thank you. But clearly I was too subtle:

You really have to basically stick things in front of my face these days to get me to see them, Ned.

So thank you!

You really have to basically stick things in front of my face these days to get me to see them, Ned.

You realize Dan is going to take this, run with this, and never let it go.

It's a good thing we're a thousand miles apart, or I could be in real trouble.

okay that basically broke my brane why because too many joeks

I can't decide if I'm relieved or concerned. (Broken branes are nothing to joke about)

Going with concerned now.

oh dere :(

BATMANG NEEDS A NAP OWWWWWWWWWW

memo to myself: just because the bar lists the ABV, that doesn't mean that you should start at the highest % and work your way down.

So now is a bad time to tell you about the recipe I found for gin and tonic gelatin shots, huh.

In a Bon Apetit I had lying around the house, even!

Okay, walking on the treadmill is next.

Will no one save me? ;_;

YES YOU SHOULD!!!

Wedding great. Full day. Brane broke. Saw The Dark Knight again. Such an amazing/disturbing movie. Must sleep.

Must sleep.

Yes. I left the house yesterday at 1.45pm (BST) to play squash. Have just returned from Saaaaf London. Am due to BATMANG tonight so must rest and recuperate.

i was at this party and then i came out of bathroom and my roommate was there. w hat/?!

at least i got to split car fare home.

woah rly? CONGRATS ET

Thanks everyone!

I can't recommend Ned (and especially the team of Ned and friend Rachel) highly enough as a wedding officiant. Hire him now before his calendar fills up. Unless, of course, you're getting married to Ned.

Congratulations - and glad to hear it went well!

Why thank yer, ET. Happy to help!
