2) The dress, in fact, decidedly did NOT look good on her.
HAR.
My proposal consisted of climbing into bed post-Christmas Eve prezzies at this mom's house, him grabbing a box, and asking if I liked our rings. Which, to be fair, if he hadn't then, I would have on NYE. Knowing the current one, I expect any proposal will involve beer and/or football. I tend to go for the low-impact gesture types.
It's funny - I spent a lot of the weekend feeling depressed for no good reason until I realized that last time I saw the men's Olympic marathon, we were opening wedding gifts. And then I was pissed that I was depressed, kissed M, had a beer, and it was all good.
Hey, look, killed the thread. Sorry!
The DH proposed by apologizing. He said "I have something to say to you which is really not romantic. I have been thinking and I realized I want to be married to you, but I just don't want a wedding. I'm sorry." THIS from a guy who writes for a living.
Bwahaha! Okay, mine wasn't exactly like that, but it was pretty close (minus the not wanting a wedding). Must be something about the profession.
"Only reason you keep asking is because you know it's not okay—now that we're all painfully aware of it, do us all a favor and shut the fuck up about it."
...isn't this where the face-punching comes in?? I mean, *seriously*, people....
Because I’m bored, I’m trying to come up with all the Olympic sports that rely on subjective scoring. Have I left anything out?
Gymnastics
Diving
Synchronized Swimming
Equestrian (Dressage)
How much is judging involved in the following?
BMX
Fencing
Taekwondo
Wrestling
Judo
Boxing
Any shooting or track & field events that involve judges?
Well, some of the track and field events involve subjective scoring? Like, the pentathlon (women's) involves dressage?
There are all kinds of events that I had no idea were events, so...lord knows.
(The pentathlon is one that I didn't know was an event but I think is SUPER AWESOME: you run, swim, ride a horse (I think it's dressage? But maybe it's jumping???), do sword fighting and shoot, I think?!?! How freaking cool is that!?!?!)
OK, I SWEAR there is some kind of contest in the olympics that involves that combination...maybe it's not heptathlon? I was reading about it in the airplane maagazine!!! Just last week!! About a woman who was going to her like, fourth or fifth olympics in her third different sport, because she'd started as a swimmer, and then become a triathlete, and then become a....pentathete?

YES! Found it on wikipedia. "Modern Pentathlon"
Wicked cool.
[edit: show jumping, though, not dressage]
