Congratulations Little Sister!

One more single girl is no longer single. Or, on the road to no longer being single. Congratulations to Little Sister. Today at 2:37pm (ok, I made up that time. It was sometime in the afternoon, but I don’t know exactly what time) Little Sister became officially engaged. Her boyfriend took her to Disneyland so that they could buy season passes. At one point, she turned away from him and when she turned back around, he was down on one knee. Of course she said yes! I think Disneyland is a magical place to get engaged! The proposal comes with its own fireworks display! However, they didn’t stay long enough to see the fireworks, as he planned a dinner with all of her family. Yes, they were all in on the plan. I was in on the plan by default (since I’m with It Girl all the time, I find out everything she finds out. I even got a preview of the ring last night. But more on that later) but I did not go to the family dinner. There has to be a line drawn somewhere. Plus, I was supposed to go to the Comic’s birthday party tonight, but I wasn’t feeling so well. So, I’m at home watching movies in bed. I can’t get sick before my birthday! I actually went over to my brother’s place to hang out with him a little earlier. It’s funny that when you’re sick, you just want to be with your family. Yeah, being with my brother didn’t have quite the same affect. But, it was nice all the same. I went out and sat on the beach and listened to Billie Holiday while watching the sun set over the ocean. It was so peaceful and beautiful and gave me the perfect opportunity to think about things (life, love, the pursuit of happiness). And the icing on the cake: there was a school of dolphins (is it school? I don’t even know) swimming by. It was real cute, cause most of the fins were little baby fins. The little babies were trying to jump through the waves. It was adorable! I wanted to adopt them! How cool would it be to have dolphins swimming through your pool at home? “What? That? Yeah, that’s my pet dolphin. Feel free to throw him a fish.” I want to adopt every little baby thing that I see. Oh, and then there was this really cute sea lion swimming so close to the shore. I really thought he was going to come up on land. Maybe he’d come sit next to me and give me a hug and we could watch the sun set together. Yeah, that’d be weird. I don’t know what I was thinking. Sorry.

Back to my story. So, last night we went over to Little Sister’s boyfriends house for a house warming/birthday party. (I don’t know him quite well enough to have come up with a clever name for him. It’s in the works) So I got all dressed up and went with It Couple. It’s funny the reaction one gets when one doesn’t get dressed up often. When I got to It Couples house, I actually got a “you look nice!” from the guys there. And before we left, It Couple’s roommate, Mr. Babytalker, told me not to meet too many men (or something of the sort). Maybe I should put on eye shadow more often! So we get to the party. I’m feeling sassy in my short skirt and cute top. My hair is looking good. I’m feeling good. I’m picturing all the single men that I’m going to flirt with, since the boyfriend is a LAPD cop. I’m sure he has cute cop friends. Yeah, I could have been wearing sweats for all it matters. It was a total couples party. First, it was It Couple, Little Sister and her man, and the boyfriend’s roommate and his fiancée. Then another couple showed up. Then the door opened again and, oh look, another couple. Suddenly I went from looking like the girl who was dressed cute to meet single men to the girl who was trying way too hard. I guess that’s better than the girl who’s trying to steal other girls’ men. Whenever I’m in a situation where I’m the only single girl, I get really awkward and try to be overly nice to the girls so they don’t think I’m even looking at their men. I’m one of the few girls in the world who is actually safe around other girls’ guys, and would never think of even looking at a guy who has a girlfriend, wife, fiancée, etc. (Oh come on. I’m not bitter since other girls always flirt with my guys and the losers I choose tend to flirt back) It was a fun party overall. We didn’t stay up too late since It Couple had to run a 5K early this morning and I had to be at school for a class. And it was great going to the party cause I got to see the ring. It was really pretty and really big. I know nothing about cuts or carats, or else I would go into details. All I know is that it was really, really sparkly. Apparently it’s the one she picked out, so it’s a good sign that her soon-to-be hubby pays attention. So congratulations to Little Sister! I wish you nothing but a lifetime of wealth, health and happiness! And, if I’m invited to the wedding, I’m requesting to be sat next to cute, single men (preferably cops ). Thanks.
