Posted by Jay (Member # 19) on :

Last night I proposed to my girlfriend...and she said YES!!

Joy, joy, joy! I am incredibility happy and lucky man. So much so that right now I really don't have the words to describe it much more beyond that.

Again I say

Posted by Shik (Member # 343) on :

Gee, that's great, Jay. My girlfriend only fucked some guy she'd just met on Sunday night.

Posted by BlueElectron (Member # 281) on :

K, your "girlfriend" slept with some stranger on Sunday?

and you still call her your "girlfriend"??

Forgive me if this is a bit too "forward", but personally, I would "bitch-slap" her back to stone age!

And "thus" the landspeed record "for" quickest devolution of thread from celebration of love to miserable exercise in hatred and self-wretchery is attached to the back of a V-2 and set screaming across the sky.

At any rate, I hope all such "cheerful" messages fall on deaf ears, Jay. Though I am sure some among us are concerned about the impact marriage will have on Alpha Centauri schedules, I am also sure that, from a few points of view, the trade is a winning one.

Congrats, Jay! That's wonderful!!! I'm so happy for you and your fiancee!!!

Me, I'm still waiting for the man of my dreas to come along and sweep me off my feet. Rich, handsom, caring, and straight... yep, that's my prince charming! Of course he need to be strong, too... any man that gets involved with me needs to be strong (not physically, BTW...) I'm kind of a difficult woman to deal with

Congrats Jay.

Give me a ring via PM, will ya?

Posted by Jeff Kardde (Member # 411) on :

Now Tahna wants a ring too

Congrats, Jay.

Hey, LOA -- you don't want someone who shares your religious faith?

Posted by First of Two (Member # 16) on :

Well.

Well.

My romance sort of imploded over the weekend (it's not broken, but it's nice and bruised), so it's good to see someone having good luck.

Congrats, man.

Posted by Isn't Infinity *G* (Member # 531) on :

Way to go Jay!! Congrats!
*no comments on my situation please, if anyone does, I'm pulling out my AK47, 'mkay?*

Posted by Tahna Los (Member # 33) on :

SMACKS Jeff Kardde.

I asked him to contact me via PM. grrrr.......

Posted by Gaseous Anomaly (Member # 114) on :

Fair fucks to you, horse. Fair heart never won fair lady, and all that.

Some balls to propose, man. Well done! But when's the Big Day? We've power-ups to get...

Shik: kill her until she dies from it - no-good two-timing bitch deserves her head KICKED UNTIL HER BRAINS STAIN THE EARTH!!!

Gee, I sure hope you haven't reconciled since - if so, do the above anyway. You can't beat a good passionate beating.

Posted by Shik (Member # 343) on :

Oh, you have no idea where I went with this. She feels so miserasble. She thought about suicide. I drove her to it. That made me feel immensely better. I planned not to talk to her for a long, long time (which meant going & finding a roommate for August)....and then...

Well, the biggest problem in believing in a sentient universe is knowing deep down inside, no matter how well you might know yourself, it knows you far far better than you ever could. That's such a fucking pain in the ass, especially in situations like this...where you resolve to act in a certain fashion and it comes in and overrides you completely.

The anger's mostly gone...but the pain is there, no matter what Kim's song says. And I do love her...I wanted "THE LIFE" with her....I still do. We'll see how things go.

Jay: congratulations on your successful merger. May the District Sub-Nagus see fit to smile at your bribes.

Posted by Nimrod (Member # 205) on :

Wait, you felt immensely better when you knew your tactic had worked and your partner felt miserable and wanted to kill herself?
Did you, like, read "Relationship Counseling" by J.S Stalin, or something?

Liz:

Rich, handsom, caring, and straight... yep, that's my prince charming! Of course he need to be strong, too... any man that gets involved with me needs to be strong

Um...

*raises hand*

Well, minus the rich part, but that's probably a relative term...

Of course, there's the fact that I live a couple thousand miles away from you, and you're four years older than me...

Congrats, Jay!

Congrats Jay, we should all be so lucky as to find somebody to spend our lives with.

Good luck in the future.

Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :

Love is like the biggest endorphin rush ever... followed by a fifty-mile-per-hour steel-toed boot to the nuts...

Being able to speak from experience is a real pain in the ass, y'know...?

Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :

I want to thank Jay, but I haven't got a depressing story to tell.

Oh, wait! I hit my foot. I don't know. Maybe it's God having a joke. Every day I think about my foot, and you don't expect your foot to just be hit by a door. Especially when you're moving it. I dunno. The foot made me think. ALL WOMEN ARE FUCKING BITCHES AND SHOULD BURN!

Conrats Jay. And good luck!

Posted by Jay (Member # 19) on :

Well.

Thank you all for the kind thoughts and warm wishes. I wish everyone's lives went the way you want them to. Mine is taking a great turn in the right direction.

Posted by Jay (Member # 19) on :

And I wish the best of luck to Liam and his foot.

Posted by Siegfried (Member # 29) on :

Love is a very splendid thing. The feeling you get when you are in love (heck, even when you've only got a bit of a crush) is incredible and beyond words. Many people have tried to put love into words, but it is a futile effort.

Now, as optimistic of love as I am, I too have been known to be depressed as hell about. I've been quoted as saying "It's no coincidence that Valentine's Day and venereal disease have the same initials." I've also been known to quote Wilhelm Nietzche: "Love is like riding through the frozen tundra on a snowmobile which overturns, trapping you underneath. At night, the ice-weasels come."

But, most of the time, I'm completely the opposite. That's because I'm the Pompatus of Love, you know. It says so under my user ID. So, as the Pompatus of Love, I say congratulations to you, Jay! Way to go; I hope you have many many many happy years together.

As an aside, I thought about going into my love life and dating experiences, but I am not going to that here. I doubt anyone here wants to know all the depressing details of the women of my life.

Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :

"Love is like riding through the frozen tundra on a snowmobile which overturns, trapping you underneath. At night, the ice-weasels come."

I used to have that as a sig. I forget to whom it was attributed, though. I know it wasn't Nietzsche. And I don't think he would have said that anyway. Did he and snowmobiles even exist at the same time?

Posted by Sol System (Member # 30) on :

Here is an interesting story.

Posted by Sol System (Member # 30) on :

Oh, and that quote is from Matt Groenig. Groenig? The Simpsons guy.

Posted by Jay (Member # 19) on :

Sol, the way your mind works never ceases to fascinate me.

Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :

Ah, yes, it was Matt Groening, wasn't it? I was thinking it was a cartoonist, and I thought of both Scott Adams and Gary Larson, but neither sounded right...

Posted by Kosh (Member # 167) on :

Congrats Jay!!

Sorry Shik. That really blows.

Sol's vocabulary never ceases to amaze me.
