She said yes

This past weekend was extremely interesting. I went to a comedy hypnosis show, a hypnotherapy class, and past-life regressions. I was planning to write about that but it'll have to wait a few days because I have some big news tonight.

It became official a few hours ago. I asked a girl I've been dating to be my girlfriend and she said 'yes'. I'm so excited!!! I really like her a lot. She's very smart and quite adorable. Her name is Melissa. She is from right here in Norman, Oklahoma. She works as a nurse extern and is finishing up nursing school at OU. I met her at the Reaves Park softball complex -- we're on the same softball teams. We've liked each other for a while, but had no idea that the other felt the same way until a few weeks ago when a friend on the team let us both know.

We were planning to go to Reaves Park tonight for softball, but the games were rained out. We went there anyway and had the whole park to ourselves. When I asked her the big question, we were sitting in the dugout where we first met. I carved our initials and the date on the back of the bench.

I was hoping you might know, as the best of that pasta I had was in Wales. Oh well. I'll figure it out eventually.

Jesus H. Christ - what are you 12 years old? Maybe in a few years a girl will say "yes" to a little pink in the stink! What a douche!

wow... that was hateful and uncalled for.. I think it is incredibly sweet and this person is so afraid of retribution that they can't even say who they are? That's so immature. Ignore them Matt. .... it is very sweet.

This is the most absurd thing I have ever read. Is this guy for real? I think it is time for some neuroleptics to bring this chump back to reality!

Ramone - it'll take a lot more than neuroleptics to bring me back to reality!
