So I don't know if anyone's familiar with the concept of promise rings? They're sort of like a pre-engagment ring and I think they're dumb as fuck. If you think you'll want to be engaged someday, then GET A FREAKING ENGAGEMENT RING ALREADY. Jesus Christ. I think they're more common among the high school set, which sort of makes sense because you can't exactly go off getting engaged in high school. But I do have one friend who's gotten two of them. One was from a particular boyfriend who used to be her best friend in high school, but she didn't want to date till post high school and blah blah that's not important. ANYWAY he gave her a promise ring, and then things ended rather badly, I think cheating was involved, I'm not sure. So now she has a new boyfriend...and a new promise ring. Apparently it's been in his family for forever, so it has sentimental value...and stuff. But I mean, really? I just think they're dumb. Particularly as she's old enough to get engaged by now. DO IT.
Today Taylor and I were talking about marriage-y things because we're dumb like that. He asked if I would like it if he got me a promise ring around our junior year or so. My first inclination was to go YES PLEASE. Then I very painfully realized how hypocritical it was of me and told him if he did so I'd be very happy but would have to give it back because the whole idea is dumb. He laughed, noting my reluctance, and said, "Different when it's you, isn't it?" Yes it is, dammit. But I went ahead and told him if he was going to go around looking at rings, they might as well be engagement rings.
I think this might very well end up in us getting married, I really do. That makes me :D
