HEY(ARNOLD)!
Today during my lunch break, a friend from work was talking about getting quotes for engagement rings because he's planning to get hitched (hehe). What was so shocking to me is the PRICE of an engagement ring. People say an engagement ring should roughly cost 3 months of pay. Today I discovered three months of my pay will get me a diamond the colour of pee and with little gritty things in it.
They are graded from A to G or something, with G being yellow and gritty and A being an extremely beautiful piece of rock. Blerg. Here's the thing. An average engagement ring (Grade F) will cost you 20 grand, and a grade D will absolutely rip your wallet house in half at 100 grand.
WHAT THE HELL.
My friend just looked at my facial expression and said "I don't understand, why are YOU worrying about this".
And he is right.
From today onwards, I officially look forward to getting engaged!

7 screams of joy:
As I was saying to Joseph + others the other day while jewellery searching- ARFSHERQOINXZ?!?!?!#%^BDZXVCNHYUPOQENCVASDFGHQRE?!?!?!!!!!!111
Serious? O_o....dang.
All that for a rock. Just tape a pebble to a rubber band and that'll save you 100k.
I look forward to you getting engaged too! I am glad you've started looking forward to it officially.
and AWWWW, for your friend (:
engagement isnt even the real deal lol
My chem lecturer recommended we burn our future diamond rings and watch them convert to graphite. I didn't know it was gonna cost me that much :(
AHHAHA BELLE
I clicked all the way here (i usually read them on windows live feeds) JUST so i could tell you you are hilarious :)
Also I thought engagement rings were like $5000 ish ..
How wrong i am.
LOLS
i'm glad we'll be receiving, not buying ;)
@James: JEWELRY SEARCHING?! What ?!
@Topher: Wow. I feel sorry for your future wife :P
@bleb: hehe, I was just joking- the thought of carrying around something worth two vw's on one finger is a bit scary.
@Rex: I KNOW RIGHT? Wedding bands are so freaking cheap in comparison! I sort of understand why the bride's side of the family pays for the wedding.
@Diti: WHAT IN THE DEVIL?! HAHA! I'd do it the other way and burn ashes or something to get a diamond :)
@Janet the adventurous clicker: $5000 ? ahhaa well, i guess I've taught alot of people to make sure they're sucking all they can out of their boyfriends and not just $5000 ;D ;D
