oh geez...

i think i have a problem. i can't seem to stop asking girls to marry me. it started out innocently enough. a girl at work... then a couple of months later, t. but that was it.

but it happened again last night. i was out with the neighbors and another mutual friend (yes, the neighbors who bought me mile high mud pie last week). so we were just sitting around talking and the conversation turned to candy. what?

so anyway, the mutual friend said that the day before she had gone to the bulk barn and bought $50 worth of candy. i couldn't help myself. i immediately blurted out "uhhhhh, ummm... oh god... $50 of candy? will you marry me?"

but then she started describing some of the stuff she got and it included things like sesame seeds so i called it off right away before she could (or would) answer. granted there was some good candy included, but the sesame seeds were a real turn off and nothing was covered in chocolate. something should always be covered in chocolate.

hrm. so you're taking it back?

that's bad. i feel an intense disdain for men who propose and then take it back.

Funny, I'm always asking men to be my baby daddy about 30 seconds after I'm introduced to them. It tends to cause uncomfortable silences, but I don't seem to learn.

And candy...from a barn? That's less of a turn off than sesame seeds? Really? Huh.

doc - despise if you want, but i proposed under false pretences. had she not lied, we might be married right now.

kara - the bulk barn... not a great name, but it's a wonderful place. barrels of candy everywhere. if you ever come to eastern canada, put it on your list of places to visit.
