I’ve found conversation posts are easier than writing actual posts, apparently, because this is the third one in a row. Hopefully I will have an actual written post tomorrow about my experience Four Loko. Yes, I drank some. I even have pictures. But that will be discussed tomorrow.
Last night they were talking about Prince William’s engagement on the news (big surprise) and one of the op-ed guys that Rick and I hate was wondering why so much media attention for this event. There are two reasons for this, Larry Mendte, the first being that we got rid of monarchy in this country over 200 years ago and have been the tiniest bit sorry ever since. The other is that since things turned out so tragically for Princess Diana, we’re hoping that her sons get the happy endings she was denied, and William is taking the first steps to that.
I told Rick that last night, and this followed.
Rick: “Yeah, we all want him to be happy. But he’s getting married, the poor sap.” (Rick has a jaded view about marriage, as you might imagine.)
Julie: “Well, they’ve been together eight years.”
Rick: “Yep.”
Julie: “We’ve been together eight years.”
Rick: “Yep.”
Julie: “You could get me a diamond and sapphire ring. You know, no marriage involved. Just as a gesture.”
Rick: “I could.” (he couldn’t keep a straight face after he got this out and started laughing hysterically)
And this is why I will never be married.
