So.

Simon came around today and we did Festive Type Things. Well, as festive as bolognaise with some very nice red wine can get when being interrogated by the family. He seemed a little twitchly all day, but, well, El Familio. We then sat on the sofa for a bit, generally nattering and finishing off the wine.

Then he gave me my Christmas present. (Apologies for awful photos, but I really can't think of a better way to put it. It's very hard to describe in a way that doesn't sund a bit saccharine or worse, bland.)







Needless to say, I said yes. Rather quickly. In fact, I said 'hell yeah'.

(That'll go down in history.)

Before you all ask - not pregnant, waiting until after university, parents took it well. I think that's all covered.

Merry Christmas, everyone. I am so glowingly happy right now that I may burst with glee.

I stand by what I said yesterday: here's to less crazy. And a very merry Christmas to you both!

[hathy-col.livejournal.com]

Thank you! And a Happy Christmas Invasion Day to you as well. *grins*

[trav28.livejournal.com]

This is wonderful - congratulations and many hugs to you and Simon. Glee is great - enjoy the moment and remember it.

[hathy-col.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[balthaser.livejournal.com]

I find that quite sad.

no offence.

[hathy-col.livejournal.com]

*shrugs* Fair enough. May I ask why?

[jennnlee.livejournal.com]

What wonderful news! Congratulations. As someone who got engaged on Christmas Eve eleven years ago, I heartily approve.

[hathy-col.livejournal.com]

*grins* Thanks, hun. I also heartily approve!

[calapine.livejournal.com]

Oh, congratulations! :D And a very merry Christmas to you both!

[hathy-col.livejournal.com]

Thank you! *grins*

[davidbrider.livejournal.com]

I realise I don't know you personally (just through various LJ groups and other people's F'lists), but can I just say: CONGRATULATIONS!!! That sounds so sweet. Good luck to you both. One day I hope I'll propose to my girlfriend too.

David.

[hathy-col.livejournal.com]

Hell, the more well-wishers the merrier! Thanks very much, and yes, it was very sweet.

(Apparently Dutch courage was the trick, if that helps!)

[starisfading.livejournal.com]

wow! congrats!

[hathy-col.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[tashmania.livejournal.com]

I had to re-read that and make sure I wasn't seeing things. Now that I know I'm not, awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! That's SO wonderful! Many congratulations to both of you :D Awww I am grinning right now.

[hathy-col.livejournal.com]

Thank you! *blushes* It's lovely, I have to say.

[sevenhelz.livejournal.com]

Hmm. My boyfriend has a severe lack of Christmas or Birthday presents for me and has been bemoaning this loudly. I hope he doesn't pull a similar stunt... then I'd have to think. And that makes me angry.

Anyway. Happy for you yaay this is my happy happy joy face :DDDD
and you'd best come out on wednesday *poke poke*
xx

[hathy-col.livejournal.com]

Will be there on Wednesday! Honest!

[hyrnetanga.livejournal.com]

Wow! I'm still having trouble getting my head aroud the idea of you and Simon. This has fried my brain!

But congrats, and I hope the future in-laws aren't too scary.

[hathy-col.livejournal.com]

Fried my brain a bit too. And thanks!

[me-and.livejournal.com]

Ah duh buh duh wuh? Wuh?

Just check me here: this is Colleen, formerly gay to all intents and purposes, and Simon, formerly asexual and with a severe dislike of physical contact? Please excuse me while my head explodes...

Erm, yes. Congratulations, and so on. Proper congratulations when this actually sinks in, as it seems far too unreal for me.

Ruddy copy-cats. Excepting that you took considerably less time than us. And there's no way in hell either of us would mention it to our parents...

[hathy-col.livejournal.com]

Yes. That would be us.

Funny world, isn't it?

And thank you!

Parents took it oddly well, which makes me suspicious.

[shipperkitten.livejournal.com]

Um, whoa! :O

I'm with Enid on a few points... I still feel too young to be 'tied down' and refuse to believe I'm a grown-up now ;)

Congratulations though.

[hathy-col.livejournal.com]

Ha, who said I'm a grown-up yet?

And thank you!

[tau_sigma]

Wow! Congratulations, felicitations, other things ending in '-ations'...

Wow. I'm so happy for you, and I hope you'll both be very very happy. :D

Have a great Christmas!

[hathy-col.livejournal.com]

Thank you, and a very Happy Christmas Invasion Day!

[moralanqua.livejournal.com]

Huh?

But Colly, he has a penis! I am confused. Is Simon a transexual? Or are you now Bi? Do you need help with the workings of teh willy?

Aside from my confuzzlement, I dig the sparkly and am very happy that you are happy. Make sure the ring aint no cheap ass cubic zirconia! ;P

Much Love, poppet!

[hathy-col.livejournal.com]

I think we've sorted it all out along the way, somewhere. I also dig the aprkly. *pets it*

[not-vacillating.livejournal.com]

Wow, that was quick! I approve of waiting until after uni-- that is two-and-a-half years from now, which will be a fair test. But if this is really what you want (and I'm prepared to believe you if you say that it is), congratulations.

*does not join rather long line to be bridesmaid* *considers asking to be Best Man*

[hathy-col.livejournal.com]

Three and a half years as we're both on four-year courses! And thank you - this is what I want. More than even my long unfulfilled Christmas desire for a pony, which is saying something.

I've had two volunteers for Best Man ALREADY. Go and annoy Simon about that!

[kestrel-de-hara.livejournal.com]

I am STILL very confused about this whole not a lesbian thing. But yay! Congrats!

[hathy-col.livejournal.com]

The world is a funny place.

And yay indeed! Thank you!

[devlinrose.livejournal.com]

Merry Christmas to you both.

And er, OMG.

Heh, maybe a bit early, but who knows. I hope you are both very happy together.

P.S. Enid's probably just jealous. =P

[hathy-col.livejournal.com]

OMG indeed, and thank you! I'm sure we will be.

(P.S. Well, obviously. :P)

[javelin-deano.livejournal.com]

Well, congrats. :)
I agree with jennnlee that it's probably a bit young to think of marrage, but also that long engagements are good as well. It's more a promice to each other to do your best to make it all work. If you can make it through the years of uni then I don't see why you couldn't take it further if you still wanted to.
Best of luck to you, no running off allowed. ;)

[hathy-col.livejournal.com]

Thankies! And no running off, I know, I know.

[elfnut.livejournal.com]

Congrats darling. Anyway it goes and anything you decide to do about it, all my best wishes :)

[hathy-col.livejournal.com]

Thanks, hun!

[hyrnetanga.livejournal.com]

Once again, you are a comment whore...

[hathy-col.livejournal.com]

Um, not deliberately?

[elyim.livejournal.com]

Squee! Fab! Congrats! Exclamation mark!

[hathy-col.livejournal.com]

Thank! You!

[elentari-valie.livejournal.com]

I am happy for you guys. Sis married at 20, celebrated first anniversary just the month before. Yes, it is hard, but making two different people work together in a relationship is always difficult.
I am glad you guys are waiting., though. That's give you time to plan things ahead and get to know each other. if at the end of uni both are still set on it, and remain so after you're living in same area and all, then this is a keeper.
All my love, much geekiness, and all.
Sheyla

[hathy-col.livejournal.com]

Thank you for your kind words! I am happy for me too. *grins* This is definitely a keeper, as he is Fab.

*hugs and love*
