Yes, no or FUCK NO!
First off, I want to express my heartfelt sympathy to everyone who was affected by the London attack. The assholes that did this will hopefully be held responsible for what they did. When will they realize that killing innocent civilians is the wrong way? My wish is that this realization will come, and come soon.

Man lights himself on fire to propose to his girlfriend
GRANTS PASS, Ore. - To prove his love, a 38-year-old man set himself on fire before getting down on one knee and asking his girlfriend to marry him.
About 100 people gathered to watch Todd Grannis perform the flaming stunt on Monday, which involved wearing a cape soaked in gasoline.
Grannis climbed up a 10-foot scaffold, was set on fire and then plunged into a swimming pool, dousing the blaze.
Emerging unscathed, he got down on one knee and proposed, as a friend standing nearby slipped him the engagement ring.
"Honey, you make me hot," he told his sweetheart, Malissa Kusiek. "I hope I'm getting the point across that I'm on fire for you."
Kusiek, who has been dating Grannis for several years, said "yes," but added that she was a little angry because of the danger.
"At first I was mad, because I thought, 'He's not a stuntman,"' Kusiek said. "Then, of course, the tears started flowing. Of course I said yes. I was so thrilled."
Grannis said he came up with the stunt through the help of his friend, professional stuntman Eric Barkey. Barkey pulled out a photo of himself on fire and said, "You could do that," Grannis said.
Grannis met Kusiek, the owner of a local hair salon, when she cut his hair.
"I kept telling her sometime before I'm 50," said Grannis, who co-owns an Internet wholesale company. "She wasn't expecting it. She had no clue."
You're fucking kidding me, right? Someone I don't think she'll have to worry about him ever cheating on her. Who could he find?
This made me think of stupid things I'm sure most people have done to either attract, keep, or even get rid of, their spouse, significant other, whatever. Have you ever done anything completely crazy, or completely out of character, for the benefit of a mate?

I just bought a bottle of this, and I'm gonna have me some fun :o)
I wanted to buy a bottle of this, but I stayed on the more frugal side:
****************************
I went out to the grocery store tonight, and stopped in the flatware section to see if any Oneida flatware was on sale, because I needed another set of 4. Holy shit, I hit the jackpot! Not only was it on sale, but the set I'd been eyeing, which was $30 for a set of 4, was just put on clearance for $22 and then an extra 40% off that, so I got it for around $13! I had to get 2 at that price!! :o) I of course had the CART FROM HELL. It only made left hand turns. I didn't notice too much inside the store, I guess I was making a lotta lefts, but when I got out into the parking lot.... that motherfucker would NOT turn right and I needed to make 2 sharp rights to get to my car. That was an experience, let me tell you.
*****************************
Woooohoo Big Brother starts tonight, I'm psyched!! There are some seriously good lookin people this year, it's just sickening. This is another stupid reality show I'm addicted to. Last year was the first year I saw it, and it was kind of by accident. Doesn't take much :op
*****************************
My responses to Jenn's questions:
1. How was the baseball game yesterday?
Which one? With MLB Exra Innings I watch so many at once I barely know how one specific game is going :op I think I need help!
2. Why don't you have some 25 year old love slave? You are young, beautiful, and single you should!
That's a little too young, you know how immature guys are :op However, a love slave is definitely something I'd be up for. Unfortunately, I can't get a date to save my life! ;o) Maybe I should start interviewing women instead? ;op
3. What is the most embarassing moment so far in your life?
Ya know, I can't honestly think of one! Not to say that there aren't any, I'm sure there are just too many to count :op OH wait, I just thought of one! I had just started driving, and me and my friend headed up to Roosevelt Blvd. to go to an all-ages rock show. I didn't know where I was going (big surprise there), I got into the club's parking lot and thought I was going down a narrow 'driveway' only to find out after it was too late that I was driving on the curb, my car about 6 inches away from the side of the building!
4. Do you ever wish you had kids?
In some ways yes, in some ways no. I feel like I'd seriously be missing out, living my life without having kids. If I met a guy who loved me, who really wanted kids, and would be around to help and enjoy it with me, I'd probably do it in a heartbeat. But, after spending time with friends and their kids....as adorable as they are, I don't know if I could stand it 24/7 :o)
5. How did you wind up in Oregan?
I found the courage to split up with my ex (although I did it in a really shitty way) back in Philly, lived on my own about 6 months, was having trouble affording everything on my own, wasn't happy, needed a change, had a 2 hour commute to work EACH WAY.... one of the attorneys in my office talked about how gorgeous Oregon was. He gave me some of his frequent flyer miles and I spent a few days out here and fell in love with it. A few months later I said fuck it, I'm moving out here, I need a change. I spent another week out here, applied at a few law firms and got a job rather easily. I've been here 4 years this September. I can't believe it!!
