Catch as Catch Can
So much for a holiday--I've spent the whole weekend on the Big Idea. Of course, a large portion of that time was also spent in front of the television. There's nothing like trying to make the world a more socially just place with the season premiere of 24 on in the background. I feel like my efforts might be better served switching careers and becoming a screenwriter with the single purpose of elevating the dialogue of major action stars.
In other news, Mr. Angel of the Morning has "decided to buy the cow".
Yes, it's true dear reader, Jessica and Mr. Angel of the Morning are finally, officially, engaged. In honor of this momentus event, I'd like to briefly reminisce about one of my first encounters with Mr. Angel of the Morning.
[Picture it...a bar. Ms. Write Again Soon--with her extraordinarily low alcohol tolerance--is enjoying her third, or possibly fourth, drink of the night. She is surrounded by friends, as well as her sister and her new beau Mr. Angel of the Morning. They have been dating perhaps a few weeks.]
Jessica: [Putting on her coat] Ok then, we'll see you guys later!
Random Friend: You're leaving?
Mr. Angel of the Morning: Yeah, we're going to get going.
Ms. Write Again Soon: Well, have fun you two...and don't get her pregnant...one illegitimate child is all my parents can handle!
Jessica: [speechless, gives Ms. Write Again Soon the "death glare"]
Mr. Angel of the Morning: Um, yeah. 'Night everyone.
So, it wasn't my most charming and welcoming moment. And it was probably a full year before Mr. Angel of the Morning got over that first impression and realized what a truly caring, gentle, loving person I really am.

It's good to know that even with an illegitimate child she could get hitched. ;) Is there hope for the rest of us? [Well, not me, but you know what I mean.]
