As of late, Bracie and I have been reading Miss Manners, also known as Judith Martin. We came across this brilliant quote:
Dear Miss Manners:
A while ago, a beautiful gal with her mom dropped a doughnut on the floor beside me as I was turning to walk out of a snack shop in a shopping mall. I have been puzzled about the meaning of that-if it was an accident, or if I missed the chance to meet her. How should I respond so that I don't miss the next opportunity like that?
The Response:
Gentle Reader:
If there is a standard flirtation maneuver called the Doughnut Ploy, Miss Manners is blessedly ignorant of it. Frankly, she does not think that was much of an opportunity you missed. A doughnut cannot be scooped up gracefully, like a dropped handkerchief, and presented to the lady with a deep, meaningful look and an ingratiating "Excuse me, but I believe this is yours."

So you like randomness too?
Well, I once posted this random comment on someone's blog that said "I think your brother is hot. Can i date him?"
Then my friend was all: You know they can track you down?
And I'm like: Uh-oh
I now live my days in fear due to my randomness
I have a question for you Ophelia... how did you get the Legolas badge on your blog??
Emily: at the end of the quiz, I copied the html and then entered it into the blogger gizmo called java script or html code or something like that.
