It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

Are you ready to be strong?

Well I wouldn't let him get me a NEW diamond, unless it was factory made, because I don't want to give DeBeers any business.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Rio, you know we were just talking about all this the other day, right? bon bon was looking at rings. Hypothetically. For fun.

YOU PEOPLE NEED TO STOP WITH THE BEING ENGAGED. Ahem. I mean, of course I'm thrilled for your happiness, I am just seeing an unflattering greediness within my own self.

Jesse, there's nothing wrong in liking pretty things. As long as you're not Faith-y in the "Want.Take. Have" sense of it, I can't see what's wrong with that.

I'm sorry, I know I'm turning into one of THOSE PEOPLE.

Here is a Valentine to myself:

Thanks, Nilly. I'm just having a covetous few days. When what I should be having is a lot of school work done!!! Also, more sleep. When did I become a bad sleeper? It was always one of my best skills.

God no, Rio, you're not THOSE people. You are FABULOUS. None of you people are THOSE people. Even my friend who has had a perfect manicure since she got engaged a couple of months ago is not THOSE people.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Mm. Chocolate cupcake.

I went pretend-web-engagement-ring shopping, and I don't like much of what they've classified as engagement rings, since I'm not into facets or gold or diamonds. I'm going to make some guy very miserable one day, if I'm lucky.

Rio, I only got a "no permission" page.

Jesse, maybe if you got more sleep, you'd be better? Like msbelle. Maybe there's something in NYC air these days?

[Edit:

Heh. I often think so, but not with regards to rings. Also, I probably use more words and a parentheses or two, because I can't even think shortly]

Yes, I would like that, but am continuously thwarted. For some reason this morning the local kids decided to play outside my window before school.

QUICK! We need to start a paypal collection to supply Jesse with bling.

Mm. Chocolate cupcake.

WANT.

Ah...the perfect precursor to the perfect marriage.
