Is this the new proposal trend?
Maybe I have no unicorns in my heart, but I wouldn't want a cute or gimmicky proposal. No ring in the champagne glass, no skywriting, no billboards, that sort of thing makes me nervous.
Inara: I think she looks adorable. Mal: Yeah, but I never said it.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I also lack both sense and energy. But I am heading to sleep because guess what I`m doing tomorrow, Kat? I`m taking your niece to the airport so she can go home for the holidays, yay home.

I think when two people actually want to get married, it's hard to screw up the proposal. But my DH says that the wedding is all about the bride, the proposal is all about the fiance. So maybe instead of thinking of it as a gimmicky proposal, think of it as men who enjoy a grandiose romantic gesture and figure this is their moment.

My former intern just got engaged. To the girl I more or less introduced him to. She came out to visit this weekend, met his folks in ABQ. But I didn`t hear if there was a big ol` proposal story. I don`t think he bought her a ring, though.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Wednesday, then?

I still love telling my proposal story, which begins, "He did get down on one knee, but first he had to get out of bed." It's wonderful to watch the goopy smiles freeze.

It's possible I've lost my mind. I've been drawing like a crazy person for two days. I don't even recognise my stuff anymore.

You can recognize your stuff by how it`s awesome with awesome guns!

You haven't looked recently.
There's been an, uh, a spate. With no guns.
I can see if I can work from home Wednesday to simplify things.
