Current Mood: blah

(no subject)

In keeping with yesterday's post, there's this video. At one point Spencer looks at Jon whilst making a comment about wasting time surfing YouTube for ~funny videos and they both crack up, and I kind of died. HONESTLY, I TRY TO WATCH STUFF WITHOUT THE OTP GLASSES, BUT THEY MAKE IT HARD. Does it help that I noticed Ryan's fascination with Jon's mouth?

Here's a question for married flisters: Am I huge weirdo for always taking my wedding ring off as soon as I get home? It's been a habit of mine since I got engaged; my ring is kind of awesome (not even fronting, ask

imntsaying!) and has lots of diamonds, so I get paranoid about losing one. Therefore I try not to wear it around the house or to the gym. And for some reason, I get a lot of weird looks whenever I tell people this. I have several co-workers who've been married as long or longer than myself and have NEVER taken their ring off. O.o IDK, I find that weird. But then again, you're talking to someone who has never had her professional wedding pictures fully developed. *cough*

Two final bits of info I think you all should know:

1. I look way cute today. Think Charlotte from SatC. *__*

2. I got my mojo back on the Pretty Woman!AU.

Jon doesn't say much in the car on the way back to the hotel. It's mostly because Spencer is sullen, staring out the window at the passing traffic with his eyes narrowed in thought. It makes Jon wonder if this is how Spencer always handles business meetings that don't go well: curl in on himself and shut out the world.

Once back in the suite, Jon immediately kicks off his shoes and socks (there's a reason Jon has avoided dress shoes most of his life) and heads back to the bedroom to change. But Spencer doesn't follow; Jon looks back into the living room to see him hunched over his laptop again, typing with one hand and his phone held in the other. He hears Spencer say, "You were wrong on this one, Saporta," as he rolls his eyes, yanking hard at the knot in his tie.

Jon feels weird intruding on Spencer's business stuff, so he ducks back into the bedroom and sheds his suit pants and jacket, hanging them as neatly as he can over the closet door (Brendon would laugh his ass off he could see how tidy Jon's being). At the last minute he decides to leave his dress shirt on; he rolls the sleeves up to his elbows and goes into the living room only wearing his boxers and shirt, scrubbing a hand hard through his hair. His cheeks still feel naked.

Spencer's sitting in a chair in the doorway leading out the balcony, staring at his phone.

"Thought you said you were afraid of heights." Jon walks by his chair, lets his fingertips brush along Spencer's arm lightly. He's not trying to start anything, he just thinks, somehow, that Spencer needs that small physical touch.

"I am. I just need the air." He sounds exhausted suddenly; his voice is softer without the confident bite from the dinner.

"You didn't say much in the car." Jon hops up on the balcony ledge facing Spencer, kicking his bare feet idly. "I really sucked at dinner, huh?"

For the first time since that morning, Spencer smiles for real. It's not forced or hiding something, it's real and honest, making the corners of his eyes crinkle. "You were fine."

"Naw, I was a freak. But the drama was good -- you want Wentz's company, he doesn't want to let it go, and his partner thinks you're, like, Hitler for wanting to take it away from them."

"Thanks for the recap." Spencer digs his thumb into his eye. "It's not that simple, though."

Jon braces his hands behind him on the ledge and leans back. "Yeah, you're probably right. It's like whenever I get a guy who I know damn well's married, but it's not my business to out the guy or lecture him on morals, y'know?"

Spencer laughs at that, but sounds resigned. "We're not all that different, Walker. We both fuck people for money."

my ring is kind of awesome
pics or it didn't happen~

lol okay anyway i'm not married but i don't think that's weird. that's a perfectly logical reason to not wear it when you're just bumming around at home.. it's not like you purposely don't put it on when you leave the house to see how many guys will ask for your number or something weird. THAT would be weird.

(and, yeah, not EVER taking your ring off seems weird to me too. they really wear it everywhere including the shower? i would at least take mine off in the shower.)

It's this (https://www.hannoush.com/newstore/ProdImages/DRSR03736.jpg) ring with this (https://www.hannoush.com/newstore/ProdImages/DRB11272.jpg) wedding band. :D :D

Some of my co-workers said they take it off to shower, but that's it. However, I have one girl who's gained weight since she got married and can't even get her ring off now. So it NEVER comes off.

oh wow, that's gorgeous. i can totally understand taking it off, i wouldn't want to lose any of the diamonds either.

The idea of sleeping in jewelry weirds me out, so I can see taking it off when you get home.

I guess sleeping in rings is okay, but like, sleeping in earrings drive me craaaaazy.

When I was a kid, my mom told me this story about a woman who slept in her ring and it got caught in the afghan while she was sleeping and it either nearly took her finger off or it did. Or maybe that was just what I took away from the story, but anyway, it's always freaked me out. :) My phobias, let me show you them.

I WOULD LIKE TO TESTIFY!!! So stupidly awesome is your ring, bb. And I totally agree, I would take it off, too. Especially when going to the gym or something. For real, real.

Also. :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD <----- is my reaction to Pretty Woman AU snippets! *BEEEEEEEAMS*

\o/ I see chicks at the gym with their big rocks and I don't GET IT.

(I JUST FINISHED THE PIANO SCENE A FEW NIGHT AGO, ERIN. I'M VERY EXCITED FOR THIS FIC AGAIN.)

Also, apropos of nothing, the only thing I can think of while watching that video ~~other than wanting to poke Spencer in the belly to see if he would giggle~~ is has Ryan dyed his hair?

As a married-ish person (we exchanged rings and had a ceremony, but legally. . . well), I completely agree with taking off one's ring at home. I know quite a few people who do. I keep mine on, but that's because, frankly, it's a cheap ring. We got married really young with next to no money, and I don't feel like it could ever get seriously damaged. . . but with a nice ring like yours: totally take it off at home. :)

You aren't weird! If my ring was all super-pretty and diamondy, I would probably never wear it at all! That's why I have just a plain platinum band, which we both put on right in the store.. (it kind of pissed off the drunk tattooed meyer of the town, when we showed up to be married already wearing the rings, hehe!!)

I find that a little weird! I only take mine off when it's being cleaned/evaluated for loose stones (our jeweler does free basic service every six months for life, it's pretty sweet) or when I'm doing stuff with bleach (because it pits platinum). I mean, partly it's because I have a groove in my finger that I find weird to look at, and partly because I am much much more terrified of losing it or washing it down the drain than I am of doing something to it while I wear it.

I take my ring off when I'm around home all the time. I can't really type while I'm wearing it because my hand gets sore.

Jon and Spencer continue to be totally gay for each other. Ryan clearly wants in.

My grandma gave me a ring when I was a little girl. It was my birthstone along with a few small diamonds.

I do not like taking it off for anything. It's off maybe once a day when I put on lotion or something, but that's it. I know that I wouldn't remember to put it in the same spot everyday and if it's on me, I know that it's safe. My hand feels naked without it!

I take my wedding and engagement ring off when I get home too. And I only put it on on the weekends if I'm going out. I think it's weird that people keep theirs on all the time!

Not married now, but when I was married, I took it off only if I was getting wet or lotiony, or playing piano, because it made it weird to play. But I don't think it's that unusual to take them off. I'd just lose it if I did that, though. Or never remember to put it back on.

!!! JON! SPENCER! WE BOTH FUCK PEOPLE FOR MONEY!

I am very happy your got your mojo back.

i hate wearing rings in the heat, so i take them off all the time. :~)

and this fic is going to be fabulous!

(Ooooh, your ring is preeeeetty!)

I am not married, but I can totally understand not wanting to lose it. It makes sense to me! I wouldn't wear mine to the gym either, that just seems like you're asking for it to be knocked against something and break. D:

Pretty Woman!AU!! It's going to be fab, darling! (Wow, that was so camp.)

(What a Catch, Donnie, just in case you don't have/don't already know!)

my dad never really did, and i think my mom sometimes did, to clean. i know she took off her engagement ring (nine diamonds in 18k gold) more than her wedding band (simple 18k gold band), so i think she probably had the same phobia you did. personally, that's why i never wear my mom's jewelry (she's deceased, so technically it's all mine) on a regular basis :D also, your ring is prettttty.

i am so excited for that au, holy crap

have you heard what a catch, donnie, yet?

I seriously can't wait for this fic. I've written epic hooker fic in both my prior fandoms (including a Pretty Woman AU LOLOL), so it's kind of right up my alley. Faster faster!! :D

My parents have been married for thirty years and neither of them ever even remembers to wear their ring so, uh, they probably screwed up my thoughts on the entire thing, but it's not like you forget you're married when it's not there.

In conclusion, Prettty Woman AU!

Not married. Boy and I are talking about getting married. I cannot imagine wearing a ring all the time. I barely manage to remember earrings some days. Also your ring is gorgeous.

1. My dad wore his wedding ring for the day of his wedding..then forgot it at the hotel during the honeymoon...

2. YAYY!! This is actually one of my favorite scenes from Pretty Woman..you get a really good glimpse of their personalities and the way the see things...
*sits off to the side and eagerly awaits*

My parents have been married 40 years and neither of them wear a ring, but both the Boy and I take ours off when we get home. It keeps them in better condition that way.

PIANO SCENE, NNNGH.

my engagement ring has diamonds, and I used to take it off too at night (and I don't wear it anymore because it catches in fabric and scratches stuff).

but since I got married, I have a very plain gold band, no diamonds, and I keep that one 24/7, don't even feel it. I haven't really took it off in over 12 years, except when I lost it for a day and once when it went to the jewelry store to get fixed.

My husband does the opposite of you: he takes if off in the morning and puts it again when he comes back at night (or in the weekend). but it's more of a question of security than anything(can't work with jewelry, would be too dangerous with the machines).

I guess each their own :)
