Default It's cute, heartwarming and sad....

I once was with this girl I really liked. I told her all sorts of sweet nothings. We were both geeks.

I told her I'd get her the moon... a common and overused metaphor/bluff from sappy movies and such.

I got her a necklass... with a lunar meteorite inside on an occasion. It was all "awwwwww"

Shortly thereafter things went sour. It was sad.

My love went sour after I bought her an electronic toy. She didn't need me anymore to keep her entertained. Sigh...

Yeah, never buy your girlfriend an x-box. My mistake was beating her at Halo. She didn't want to play with me anymore after that.

That is not what I was thinking from your first post.

Did you check your horoscope before you bought it?

If the moon is in the wrong house when purchasing lunar meteorites...

Maybe she prefers Saturn than the moon.

This sounds like a Woody Allen joke: "My father recently lost his job - he was made redundant by a device that does the job of a man, only much better. The really sad part of it was, my mother ran out and bought one."
