Again, the usual disclaimer: if you don't want to listen to my pointless, self-serving banter and couldn't really care less what's going on in my life, you may feel free to ignore the rest of this message and if you're lucky I won't burn down your house and kill your family, though I may still staple your dog to a tree somewhere in the outskirts of Arkansas where rabid badgers will pester it all day long. Anyhow, on with the show.

Amazing, no? Here's the even neater part; remember my last self-serving rant? My best friend Amber who I was going on and on about fighting with? Well, she's the one. Which brings me to an interesting question...

I'll have to see if I can't scare up a nice shrubbery to go along with your bathmat. (IF you actually receive said bathmat, of course.)

You may remember my post a while back asking for ideas on how to propose (and in case you don't, here's the link). I'm still with the same girl, but haven't asked her yet. I'm thinking it'll probably happen next year sometime, but who knows?
