We are now in mid February. [quote]So, I decided that it was time for me to consider looking around to see if there where any eligible girls in my immediate area of influence. There where a few. tragically they all had boyfriends. In the run up to my brother's wedding, his fiancé (now wife) who used to work at the store I am at asked me the very same question. I told her the news and she said, "well, if you had to steal one away... which one would you" [/quote] we are now going to introduce a new character into this story, for the purpose and duration of this we shall call her Sol, it will make sense later. [quote]I told her that if I had to steal one away I'd shoot for Sol. "Ohmygooohhhd, I love Sol! y'all would be perfect together" "she's got a boyfriend and they've been together for like two and a half years." "pssshaww, you got this. show me a picture of her boyfriend." I obliged. "that guy? he's a chump, an absolute schmuck, you can take him." "he's over 6', im not sure about my fighting odds" "eh you got your family's blood in your veins, you can take him." Neither of us knew this guy. Over the next few weeks, as Sol and I worked together more, the idea simmered in my mind. Like any good soup or sauce, the longer the idea gets to slowly develop, the better it tastes. Thus I resolved to see if she was worth trying to steal away. [/quote] whooooooooooo boy. this is where the fun begins
