Wednesday, then?
I just said that you're pretty. Even when you're covered in...engine grease, you're... No, especially, especially when you're covered in engine grease.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Wednesday is good for me.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
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.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Surgery-ma for Grace, and I hope it's just the one and not both. (eta: unless both would be better, of course.)

BUT STILL NICE

Popovers ARE delicious. I want some more. But what I do have: TJ's chocolate croissants that I baked this morning!
Emmett is taller than me?!?! That's so wrong. Good god, my trip to SF where Hec and I went to the gogo party was like, ten years ago. Jesus. Or, Hey Zeus Crisco.
I am not mushy. And I would not want a super public proposal of the screen-at-sporting-event type. But I could go for something arranged and mushy. My BIL proposed to my sister by sneaking a fake story into their Sunday NYTimes copy, saying "[his last name] Proposes To [her last name]" with quotes from their friends (who had helped)

They just get enormous all of a sudden.

You thrifted two go-go dresses before you came to SF just for that club.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
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.
Oh, I'm all about him having his moment. It's just that, the more complicated the proposal, the greater the peril that something will go wrong, and the greater the chance that I'll be what screws it up. I'll swallow it, or I'll drive by the billboard a hundred times and not notice. Proposal depends on me doing something, and maybe I won't want to... I think too much. Especially about things that are probably never gonna happen. Though specifically, I don't like public proposals because it feels more like he's playing to the crowd than to his girl. The moment is special; it doesn't need more cowbell.
