I did it! I did it!
I asked MyLuc to marry me. He said yes.
I gave him his ring for his bday (Sept. 8) along with his Corner Gas tee shirt, tickets to Corner Gas Live and the beginning edition of Killer Bunnies.
He opened the ring box, looked at me as was like "Wow! This is nice" I told him "What you expected me to get you crap?". He took it out of the box and asked me to put it on his finger. It was kinda weird in a Wow kinda way that the ring just slid on his finger perfectly.
He hasn't taken it off since. Which is totally awesome!
We went to his family September Birthday Party (cuz like 7 of them have bday's in Sept.) and I told him I wasn't going to be grabbing his hand and saying "Look at his ring...isn't his ring nice....did you see his ring?" Or variations of that. We picked up my girly girl and o'course the first thing I said was..."Did you see his ring?" And then we picked up Grandad Mel....I didn't say a word. Very proud of myself for that.
The first person I told was his Mom and I did it by saying "I gave him his ring. Did you see it?" I couldn't help myself. This was his mom. She cried. She has cried at least once every time I visit for almost 3 years. *sigh* She says it's menapause...I say it's me.
And then when my girly girl were coming outside to the deck we heard Grandad Mel say "You don't wear jewelry ... whatzat?" MyLuc held his hand out and was like "Oh, Melissa asked me to marry her...this is my engagment ring". It was too funny. Grandad Mel slapped him on the head and said "I was in the car with you and you didn't say anything".
Overall everyone was very happy and are totally asking "When's the Day?" "Have you set a day?"
I keep telling them. It's going to be a very long engagement. I have to polish up edges yet. And o'course the big three: 1. Go to Vegas and get married in the TLC wedding chapel by an Elvis; 2. Have an Elvis marry us here; 3. Country music at the reception. I know #3 is more possible than the others but I'm gonna try my damndest.
When I get a chance I'll post a pic of MyLuc's ring. It's very nice. I'm very proud of myself.
*HUGE HUGS*
Talk to you later.

Just 'cuz :
Trivia for The Goonies (1985)
Many sequences were shot but removed from the film:
Mikey discovers that the map has a "fold-in" similar to Mad Magazine.
Trivia for The Goonies (1985)
Many sequences were shot but removed from the film:
Mikey discovers that the map has a "fold-in" similar to Mad Magazine.
The Goonies stop at the "Stop and Snack" store (which can be seen in the opening credits) where they are harassed by Troy, who steals the map. The Goonies escape when Brand arrives.
The Goonies make Andy a Goonie by having her recite the Goonie oath. At the end of the oath, she screams "leech!" and the group discovers that they are covered with leeches. Data removes thm by electrifying a puddle with a battery.
Further sequences with Chunk and Sloth following the rest of the Goonies were filmed.
While using his "slick shoes," Data slips on the log. Mouth and Mikey attempt to rescue him and hold themselves down while being drenched by a wave.
While swimming to the Spanish boat, the group encounters an octopus. The octopus is driven away when Data throws his radio into its mouth. The octopus is mentioned to the reporters in the scene on the beach in the finished film, even though the scene was cut.
When Stef and Mouth are tied together to walk the plank, Stef offers to share her breath with Mouth. In the finished film, he thanks her for this, even though the scene was cut.
Trivia:
Trivia:
The pirate ship was entirely real. All the shots were filmed in the ship, not on separate stages. After the film, it was offered to anyone who would take it, but sadly, no one wanted it, so the ship was chopped into scraps.
Richard Donner kept both One-Eyed Willie's head and a model for the ship.
Some of the crew members played extras in the film. One cameraman played Mouth's father. Another played the dead man in the freezer. And an assistant director plays one of the cops on the AV scooters on the beach at the end.
During the scene where the boys are sitting in the living room watching MTV, they were not actually watching the Cyndi Lauper "Good Enough" video, which was to be developed six months after filming wrapped up.
Anne Ramsey really does slap Robert Davi when the Fratelli Brothers are arguing. She was told to hit him as hard as she could.
Jeff Cohen got the chicken pox after he got the role of Chunk. He showed up to the set anyway, afraid that they would have replaced him otherwise.
When Chunk calls the police to explain about the Fratellis, the cop disbelieves him, recalling all of Chunk's wild stories. One of which involved "little creatures that mutate when you pour water on them." This is a reference to Gremlins (1984), also written by Chris Columbus and also co-starring Corey Feldman.
Jennie Lew Tugend, assistant to director Richard Donner, has a small role as Data's mom in the finale.
'John Matuszak's' makeup included a remote controlled eye. He had to time his blinking to match the blinks of the robotic eye. A crew-member would countdown from three, two, one and tell him to blink.
The number of times a character says the word "shit" (or its derivative, "bullshit") is nineteen, not counting the line "Holy S-H-I-T!"
One scene of Chunk and Sloth following the trail of the other Goonies was added to the NBC TV showing of the film, even though twenty minutes were cut.
The original poster art (not used on the video tape box) featured the cast dangling from the feet of another with the top one hanging on a rock. Some of the newspaper ads featured slightly different artwork with the characters drawn in a different order from top to bottom.
The cast was not allowed to see the pirate ship before the scene was shot. When they did see it, some of the kids said "holy shit!" so the scene had to be re-shot without them cursing.
The model ship seen sailing at the film's end has a miniature R2-D2 (from Star Wars (1977)) hidden on the deck.
Director Cameo: [Richard Donner] one of the sheriffs on the quads as the Goonies exit the cave with the ship. He's the one with the gray hair.
The last name of the brothers who are chasing the Goonies is Fratelli. Fratelli means "brothers" in Italian.
The newspaper photo of Chester Copperpot is identical to the image that appears framed on Judge Oliver Wright's desk in Shock Treatment (1981).
Data's belt has "007" inscribed on it. He also listens to the James Bond theme before sliding on the rope over to Mikey's.
At one point in the movie, the character played by Sean Astin cries out "Holy Mackenzie!" Sean Astin's brother is Mackenzie Astin.
The music played when the kids discover the tunnel in the Fratellis' hideout by accidentally pouring water down it, is the same piece of music played in The Great Escape (1963) when the Germans discover the prisoners' first tunnel by accidentally pouring coffee down it.
Cyndi Lauper co-wrote the theme song "Goonies R Good Enough", and shot a music video that features a cameo by the film's executive producer Steven Spielberg.
Producer Steven Spielberg directed at least one scene in this movie
There is a song on the soundtrack entitled "8 Arms To Hold You" by a band called "The Goon Squad." However, this song was entirely removed from the film because it was used during the cut scene involving the octopus. However, because the filmmakers were convinced the song could be a hit, it was pressed as a 12" dance single. As it was cut out of the film, it wasn't promoted at all and thus sold miserably. It is still one of the most collectable Goonie items to date.
Mouth (Corey Feldman) wears a "Purple Rain" t-shirt throughout the film.
In the original version of this film, the woman hired by Mikey's mother is a Hispanic named Rosalita (Lupe Ontiveros), and Mouth helps Mrs. Walsh by translating her commands into Spanish (of course, in Mouth's "odd" way). In the Spanish version of this film, the character is changed from Hispanic to Italian, and her name from "Rosalita" to "Rossanna". The Italian used by the Spanish dubber is much better than the Spanish used by Corey Feldman, which is clearly phonetically-memorized.
In the scene where Chunk and Sloth head down through the grate to follow the gang and the Fratelli's, you can see that Sloth is wearing an Oakland Raiders T-Shirt. John Matuszak who played Sloth was a former Oakland Raiders football player.
The name "Rube G" can be seen painted on the contraption that opens the yard gate for Chunk near the beginning of the movie. This is in reference to Rube Goldberg, the Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist who drew whimsical machines that achieved simple results in difficult ways.
The kids who played the Goonies were allowed to bring some of their families into the final scene where they are reunited.
In the scene where rocks are falling from the cave ceiling, Jonathan Ke Quan (Data) screams "Holy S-H-I-T", spelling the expletive rather than saying it. He did this because his mother made him promise not to use any bad language in the movie.
In the scene where Sean Astin and Josh Brolin hug on the front porch, you can see director Dick Donner's trailer in the background.
The clip of a film played on TV in the basement of the Fratelli's hideout was that of the film The Sea Hawk (1940); the music, however, was from another of 'Errol Flynn' 's films, Adventures of Don Juan (1948). This theme, written by 'Max Steiner' , is again played when Sloth and Chunk save their fellow Goonies from the Fratellis on the pirate ship.
John Matuszak's make-up took five hours to complete. One of the eyes (which was out of place on the face) was mechanically operated off-screen by remote control. Someone would count down from three to one and Matuszak would blink his other eye in synchronization. The cast was told not to get him wet in scenes outside of the pirate ship, but the kids inadvertently did so, holding up filming for an entire day.
According to director Richard Donner in an interview with "The Directors", producer Steven Spielberg instructed the cast members to act cold and distant toward Donner on the last week of filming which puzzled him. Shortly after filming wrapped, Donner went to his beach house in Hawaii, ran into a frenzied neighbor who took up his entire day. When he arrived home, the entire cast was there with Donner to celebrate with a cookout. Spielberg flew them over to Hawaii on the promise that they not speak a word of the surprise to Donner, which prompted them to act the way they were on the last week of filming.
At the climax of the film, Sloth pulls off his shirt, revealing a Superman shirt and the theme music from the Superman movies is heard. Richard Donner also directed Superman (1978) and part of its sequel.
Scenes were mostly shot in sequence, with total production lasting for five months.
For one line of dialogue, Corey Feldman had to dub in the name of fast-food chain Godfather's Pizza when Pizza Hut refused participation in the film.
Jeff Cohen thought of his mother dying to generate tears during his "confession" scene with the Fratellis.
The Goonies Oath that was cut out goes as follows: "I will never betray my goon dock friends / We will stick together until the whole world ends / Through heaven and hell, and nuclear war / Good pals like us, will stick like tar / In the city, or the country, or the forest, or the boonies / I am proudly declared a fellow Goony."
According to Sean Astin, he was allowed to keep the treasure map used in the film. However, the map was lost forever when his mother discovered it several years later, thought it was just a crinkled piece of paper, and threw it in the trash.
Richard Donner kept both One-Eyed Willie's head and a model for the ship.

Depending on my mood and the colour of shirts I wear my eye colour changes. According to this though:
You chose hazel eyes.
That means you are a very sweet, thoughtful person.
You are gulliable too, so it's hard for you to
sometimes say no to situations you don't like.
You're too worried that you might hurt
someone's feelings that a lot of the time you
don't think about what you want. You are also
very generous. You love to hang out with your
friends, and laugh at every little
"funny" thing.

You know...
You're having a Monday week when:
You wake right up at 6 and want to start your day and put two different coloured socks on...
(This one MyLuc does often)
You have to chase the cat cuz she's decided that your socks are portable and oh so much fun to run with...
You get on the train to come to work and the underwire on your bra pokes through...both sides...
You get to work and go to unlock the door and fall through the door cuz it's already unlocked and not closed properly...
It's Friday and you've put the Tuesday backup tape in the server....
You have to take a second look at the receptionist cuz you ask her to send a two page letter to the client, take a photocopy and bring it back to you and she asks "Both pages?"...
*sigh*
I only have to be here until 4, I only have to be here until 4....
Hope your Friday is better than mine.
*HUGE HUGS*

My girl Linds she's going through hoops n' loops n' emotions at a high speed but she always seems to remain on stable ground while the world around her spins n' twists. I am glad to be one of the friends that friends think of and that I can fit into the "calm in the storm" or the "calm in the midst of the chaos" definition...is that right...I think so....it sounds good to me. *HUGE HUGS* I'm there for you my girl and know that whenever I sign on to gmail for you I get tone one of those songs that stick stuck in my head.
My girlygirl is having trouble with a long distance relationship...I mean looooooooong and she really wants to have him home and not just talk to him on the landline. It's tought but hopefully she knows I'm there for her.
Borrowed from GSD :
Although the name Melissa creates the urge to be reliable and responsible, we emphasize that it can cause a superior, interfering expression whose favorite expression is "I know" when not combined with a balanced last name. This name, when not combined with a balanced last name, can also frustrate happiness, contentment, and success, as well as cause health weaknesses through worry and mental tension.

*Let's hope MyLuc's last name is one of balance ... although that is the symbol I had engraved on his ring - Balance
**Worry...me...naaah
Your name of Melissa gives you a clever mind, good business judgment, a sense of responsibility, and an appreciation of the finer things of life. You are serious-minded and not inclined to make light of things even in little ways, and in your younger years you had more mature interests than others your age. Home and family mean a great deal to you and it is natural that you should desire the security of a peaceful, settled home environment where you can enjoy the companionship of family and friends. Whatever you set out to accomplish you do your very best to complete in accordance with what you consider to be right.
* Business judgement - Great...NOT...although maybe that is why I was asked to balance the accounts for Eisenmarche.
Here's a quick blurb - well, I hope it isn't too long. I'll go from most recent n'o'course be sporadic.
My TNT (Team in Training) bracelets came in. I am going to sell them for $5. I have also been in touch with a local hot spot to host a fundraiser and I'm trying to get some businesses to donate for a silent auction. So far my training is going awesome, my fundraising so-so. But I'm trying.
MyLuc and I went windsurfing (Windsure) and I'll be the first to admit that I spent more time in the water than on the board but it was awesome. $50 for a 2 hour into lesson. The first hour for board work on land and wind knowledge and the second in the water on the board. I got "boomed" on the head so many times the instructor Dominique (nummy for a little guy 5" maybe") came over to check my pupils for a concussion. MyLuc took off and loved it although he said that getting the salt water outta his beard and hair was gross. And the highlite...telling Matty (the guy in the shop) that I needed a big wetsuit and getting the full body look n' him saying Naaaah you're just the right size. It was awesome. I wanted to give him a great big hug but that was until I had to shimmy n' squeeze into the wetsuit. Have you ever worn one? It's an adventure.
MyLuc and I attended a wedding of a family friend's son *shrug* I don't know the whole connection actually only that it was when MyLuc was a little'un. It was nice. Outside on the grass, short vows n' tears from both the bride and groom. The bride wore a simple A-line gown with beading on the bodice. If'n I can ever get the pics from MyLuc's computer I'll post some from their first dance as husband n' wife. It was awesome.
MyLuc's ring finally came in. I am going to hold onto it tho' and ask him again if he will marry me. This time I'll do it on his birthday n' then he can't remember the day. Although is the engagement day a day to remember? I mean, I remember our first date day April 6 although to MyLuc it's April 7 and his birthday which is Sept. 8 and some of his family members bdays (although that's cuz they correspond with bdays in my family) but is the engagement day a day to remember?
I talked with my Mom n' she said that Sprout (my little bro) was going to call me cuz he misses me. Surprised me cuz he disowned me last year on my bday for being selfish n' all. *sigh* If'n he wants to put the past behind that's okay. I mean we can't dwell and although my heart still kinda hurts for the mean words he spoke (wrote)...I can forgive...it'll just take a bit.
Haven't heard from Stretch (my other little bro) is a long while. When MyLuc n' I were in Trail Stretch showed up on the Friday and then Saturday lost his wallet with all of his money in it and had to leave cuz he had no id or rent money or nothin' n' had to get back to Creston n' get it fixed. Haven't heard from him since so I'm a little worried. But I'm the big sister that's my job.
Totally excited about September.
Friday I am going to listen to Toot-a-Lute - a medieaval folk group..members of which are my exes (is that the right spelling?). Saturday night, some of you may shake your head, I am going to BSB (and for those of you who don't know, that's okay). Sunday I have a training day 10km from 8am til I finish. Now I just walked 10km with MyLuc's mom and it took me 1.5 h. We'll see how long it takes me when I have the trainer with me. I know the first thing she'll say is Melissa you need to look at proper shoes cuz those cross trainers just don't work but then my response will be if you can afford to buy them I'll take them cuz if not you'll have to wait for payday. And then Monday will be recuperating. Although MyLuc wants to go windsurfing again and check out kitesurfing. We'll see.
And we'll see where Tuesday and the rest of September bring me. Cheers! to adventure!
*HUGE HUGS*
