[In my defense, I work a gov't job and I have LITERALLY nothing to do all day. I've spent the last four hours, minus an hour for lunch, sitting at my computer surfing the Internet.]

ANYWAYS, BF took me out to lunch today. As soon as the first warm spell hits downtown Indy, every restaurant puts tables outside so you can eat al fresco. I love it... except for it makes it that much easier for the homeless and vagrants to hit you up for money. Most only shake their cup of change in your direction when you walk by, but also that's because you're a moving target, kwim?

As BF and I are eating our lunch outside, a man walks up to us and begins to mumble something abt not wanting to interrupt, but it will only take a minute of our time... Before he's even finished his sentence or made sense of it, BF the chatterbox salesman is on his 'A' game.

First, BF politely says he doesn't have time to talk as he's 'spending time with his lady.' When the man begins to mumble something else abt a Kodak moment (WT?!), BF then interjects, 'Well, we're really trying to have a special moment here as I was just abt to ask her to marry me...'

[DISCLAIMER: THIS IS JUST A STORY, NOT WHAT REALLY HAPPENED, Emmy. We are so NOT engaged.]

The man looks at BF, like he's trying to judge on whether he's telling the truth or not, but BF doesn't give him another opportunity to talk, 'Now don't you think that should be a special time between the two of us? I thought so. You seem like a smart man. No, not making fun of you, sir, just trying to not waste my opportunity here. I knew you'd understand. I could tell you are that kind of guy. You have a good day now, all right? Thanks.'

*lol*

The man walked away, shouting over his shoulder that he hoped I would say yes, and I look at BF and say, 'Now what did he want? Was he trying to sell us something?'

BF shrugs and says, 'I don't know. I'm pretty sure I talked him in circles enough that *he* doesn't even remember what he came up to us for! How could he not leave when I told him something like that? I thought it'd be the quickest way to get rid of him so we could spend the rest of our lunch together in peace and quiet.'

So I was pretend proposed to today, I guess? *lol* You never know what's going to happen downtown.
