A conversation Bryan and I had this afternoon.
*ring*
Bryan: Hey! Working hard or hardly working!
Me: Eh... Working hard...er than earlier. (We spoke earlier in the day and I told him I was having a hard time concentrating.) What are you doing?
Bryan: I'm just leaving the store.
Me: *gasp* REALLY? Will you stop by a gas station and get me chocolate? Pleeeaaasssssee??
Bryan: Whaat? No! Chocolate is bad for you and it gives you migraines.
Me: NO it doesn't. I'm craving some! Its the whole hormones thing, babe! Please!
Bryan: No, (then he probably said something that translates to, "I'm not getting you chocolate because I don't understand what it is to be a woman and I am insensitive to the whole menstrual process." Although, I'm not sure if that is what he meant because I stopped listening after he said "No." and started thinking of a really good reason why he should get me chocolate.)
Me: Babe. I really need some chocolate! All you have to do is grab it and drop it off on your way in to town. It's not like its out of the way!
Bryan: Yes it is! I'm already on the freeway!
Me: WHAT THE HECK!? You just said you were right by the store.
Bryan: No! I was already on the freeway when I told you that. And I don't think there are any stores between here and there.
Me: UGH. Whatever. Bye.
*click*
So, thirty minutes later Bryan shows up and THIS is what he hands me:
M&Ms and a Hershey's Bar. Not bad. Except that its not good either. Its DARK chocolate. And if its DARK chocolate that means its not MILK chocolate which is what I was craving.
Conversation between Bryan and I about the "chocolate" he brought.
Me: What is this?
Bryan: Chocolate.
Me: Its DARK chocolate.
Bryan: Its better for you.
Me: Babe! I don't want better for you! I wanted a Snickers!
Bryan: Chocolate can give you migraines!
Me: Bryan. Chocolate and Dark chocolate are two different things. Chocolate is chocolate and Dark Chocolate is chocolate. I mean, ugh! Its NOT chocolate! Dark chocolate is NOT chocolate! Its different! And whenever someone says they want/need DARK chocolate they always specify. I said CHOCOLATE.
Bryan: I think its ridiculous that I had to go get you chocolate for you not to be mad at me.
Me: I wouldn't have been mad! I mean, besides the whole PMS thing. I just wanted some chocolate!!!
Bryan: You were too. You were all, whatever. Bye.
Me: Look. Thank you for bringing me chocolate. I just wanted like.. a Reese's Buttercup or something. Not this.
Bryan: Ugh.
My work phone starts ringing.
Me: Okay. Love you babe.
Bryan: Love ya. Bye.

After I dealt with the phone call, I posted this on Facebook.
And of course, I spelled menstrual wrong. UGH. I blame it on the LACK. OF. CHOCOLATE.
PS. I still love Bryan and he is amazingly amazing for getting me chocolate, albeit not the kind I wanted.
PPS. I don't have a specific problem with dark chocolate but when you are craving CHOCOLATE and you get DARK its very disappointing.
PPPS. Chocolate has not been linked to my migraines. I'm pretty sure my unhealthy diet has something to do with it but it is mostly because of me STRESSING about my job, unhealthy diet and love-handles. Also, stressing about getting dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate can create migraines. So I guess chocolate does affect migraines (Read: Bryan was right) .
