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!

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

I find that quite sad.

no offence.

[hathy-col.livejournal.com]

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

[hathy-col.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[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.

[calapine.livejournal.com]

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

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.

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

[hathy-col.livejournal.com]

Thank you! *grins*

[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!

[jennnlee.livejournal.com]

I also heartily approve!

And that is what matters. The rest is crap, which is a phrase I can hear being said in my head in an English accent, which tells me it's from a movie, but hell if I can think of it right now. Dammit!

(Also, have fun watching The Christmas Invasion tomorrow; I'm jealous as hell.)

Well, most people seem to be happy after the initial "the hell?" And this is a nice bonus.

I have no idea what movie quote!

Alas! I cannot watch it 'live'. Downside to today - I have to go and have not one but two Christmas dinners with the future in-laws and that's a terrifying phrase if ever I heard it. Means that I'll miss it! Argh! Yay VCR.

after the initial "the hell?"

I remember it well. I'd known Morgan for three months before I had a diamond on my hand. Freaked a lot of people out.

I have no idea what movie quote!

I'll figure it out eventually. Probably not Jane Austen, though.

And I'll be waiting impatiently for downloads to pop up, as I'm sure they will...

[trav28.livejournal.com]

If you want a DVD-R copy, give me the nod. Considerate a double celebration gift :D

We started seeing each other four months ago, although to be fair I've known him a year or so before that. But still.

Something might just pop up on new_who within a few hours...

I just find it strange that the first girl he drunkenly shags is the one.

Plus, I think you need to be together a lot longer, but that's just my opinion.

Plus I think you're far too young & again that's my opinion.

(though admittedly, propositions at eighteen do work, apparently chris' dad asked his mu when they were eighteen after knowing her two weeks)

I just think you ought to have more knowledge about other people & so on. I wouldn't want to tie myself down so young.


Not that it's anything against you two or anything. Can I be a bridesmaid? =p

[hathy-col.livejournal.com]

As I said - fair enough! As for 'so young', well, it's not as though we're rushing to Gretna or anything - it's stictly after university!

I can't really describe the 'knowing' past the fact that I completely and utterly do. If that makes sense. There is no doubt in my mind and it's wonderful.

I also get that you're not getting at us. (Unless you are and I'm just dense :P)

Not the bridesmaid question! I've already had my sister on about that!

[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.

[balthaser.livejournal.com]

Well, there is still the fact that I still don't get the two of you in that he's asexual & you're a big lesbian dyke. I still haven't gotten used to that so that's probably got something to do with it.

Oh, & you need more than one bridesmaid, & the maid of honour cannot be your sister!
Plus, I've never been a bridesmaid & I've always wanted to be one (guilt trip)

[hathy-col.livejournal.com]

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

[jennnlee.livejournal.com]

Something might just pop up on new_who within a few hours...

And that? Would be cool as hell.
