rorqualI read this a while back, and meant to link it but didn't have reliable lj access at the time. And then I kept forgetting, because I am like that.
"When I was single, I decided I wouldn't marry a man unless I could be proud if we had a son who turned out exactly like him."
As a single girl not on the marriage track, I don't really have any experience in this arena, but I do have to say that it was a sentence which got my attention, and then caused me to re-evaluate all my previous relationships. It seems like the most obvious thing in the world, but it never crossed my mind before. Now it may be the single criteria by which I judge any future marriage proposals.
"Will you marry me?"
*pause* "No, I can't. You're rude to waiters."
That's a joke actually - I would never even date someone who was rude to waiters.
Starbucks update: This Sunday - same Starbucks, same order, same barista - total cost? $9.49. That's what I'm talking about, barista-boy (who, by the way, looked like a tiny, nervous Jake Gyllenhall, except his eyes were two different colors (Or I think they were; they were sort of shifty)).
