To be honest, it hasn't really hit me yet. Then I look at the ring. And then I go, "SERIOUSLY???"

My best friend's response to the news was "Shit! I think somewhere I owe someone five bucks!"

How long have you two been together?

About six months, romantically.

That's pretty quick! This is really personal, don't feel obligated to answer it because it's pretty presumptuous but I've always wanted to ask someone- does it just feel that right or do you have flashes of "shit that's fast?" I can't imagine getting engaged that quickly but horses for courses rather than 'I wouldn't do it so neither should you' (which, let's face it, is always a stupid thing to say).

I am happy for you even though I always find happy messages of this type online slightly gross; I wouldn't want you to think I'm specifically discriminating against you. That's totally not how it is at all, I had a chat the other day about how I felt someone who I really like was bordering on the gross out with their community relationship updates. Oddly if they were more kinky I would just be laughing. Please don't start posting kink about you and Shep though, I would probably die inside, also I'm sorry but there's something so absurd about calling him Shep that it is now his name forever.

Oh no, it's not a terribly personal question at all.

To be honest, while not automatically love at first sight--something I'm not entirely sure I believe in anyway--meeting and spending time with him felt right. I knew that I loved him; I just wasn't sure how much. But I do. It was weird for me to think that after that first time that this was going to be the person who would change my life forever. He has. He's the most amazing man I've ever been with and I feel very lucky to have found him, albeit in an unconventional manner. (Of course, as though there is anything conventional about any of us on the board.) Before Matt proposed--which was a wonderful surprise--he and I had a long talk about the possibility of marriage weeks ago. I wanted to marry him, but I also wanted him to be sure he wanted to marry me. (Remember: the idea of marrying was brought up by him way before I ever thought of it because I am skittish kitten when I want to be.) We agreed that it was in the cards somewhere. That was as far as it went, I think. In any case, I am thrilled, anxious, excited, and happy.

I love him so very very much.

Well I hope that it is right and lovely and that you spend the rest of your lives together in glorious abandon.
 
 
Kali, Queen of Kitteh

That's the plan.

Well, that and world domination via cat feet and cheese.

After our first week together my figgerin' was "after you spend 7 solid 24/24 days with somebody, you'll at least know if something is horribly off about them." And everything seemed wonderfully on, confirmed by another week together last week. Given that we talk twice a day (thank heaven for phone cards), we probably have spent more time in conversation over the last six months than most "real-time" couples do in four years.

I'm less romantic than Kali, and my pragmatic self looks at couples that stay together and couples that split up and doesn't see any particularly strong correlation between courtin' and cohabitatin' time pre-commitment and the success of the commitment. So while this does look kinda quick at first blush, it feels right.

I promise not to get my gush on.

Well, perhaps not in a public forum.

Are you married then, Quants? For some reason I've always thought you were just co-habiting.

I is marriage in October.
 
 
Quantum

Still engaged, no cash for wedding. Loong engagement.

I is marriage in October

Where does that leave MARRIAGE then? Does he become Boboss? (Congrats BTW!)
 
 
Quantum
09:39 / 05.07.07
Also, I still have a new job!! HAHAHAHAHA! *dances a jig*
 
 
Spaniel
09:53 / 05.07.07
Yes, well done. What is it?
 
 
Quantum
09:57 / 05.07.07
NOT THIS ONE! It's sales in fact, so not Shangri-La, but I'm desperate for a change. Same job for more money basically, no evenings or weekends and plus commission, and crucially nobody has ever left the company. I consider staff retention a handy benchmark for how shit an employer is, and here we lose more than one a week. Still not as bad as MARRIAGE's place though, I don't know how he sticks it out.
Also the new place is near Red Roaster so good coffee, huzzah!
 
 
Spaniel
10:00 / 05.07.07
He sticks it out because he's unfeasibly lazy

Plus, if you live in Brighton, your job prospects are pretty much fucked unless you WANT to: work in a call centre, work in a bar, be an unemployed graphic designer...
 
 
Lea-side
10:13 / 05.07.07
Sorry, that was a bit negative wasnt it?

Hurrah for new jobs!
 
 
Spaniel
10:18 / 05.07.07
It's not so much the range of jobs on offer - I've never done any of the above - it's the fucking shit pay. I firmly believe that we need some kind of Brighton weighting, what with the cost of living being so bloody high.
 
 
Lea-side
10:24 / 05.07.07
Yeah, thats the thing; when i moved from Brighton to London, the difference in the cost of living was negligable, but my wages were fucking loads more! Brighton is ludicrously expensive these days...
So...Worthing anyone?
 
 
Spaniel
10:38 / 05.07.07
Portslade for me! Worthing ain't too cheap these days, neither. Nor's Portslade for that matter, but then it is within the bounds of the city, so, despite it's relative poverty, it's probably just gonna get more pricey.
 
 
Quantum
10:55 / 05.07.07
Somehow being near the sea is expected to make up for the 30% lower wages... I know what you mean Joe, I'm going from call centre to slightly-less-call-centre but the options are limited. Kensington prices and minimal salaries is a painful combination.
But, All Star Supes is out today so I'm off to Daves Comics in a minute for some Happy!

I am very happy today for reasons it may be overly icky to detail.

13:58 / 05.07.07
Stoatie, if I may be so bold, I'm guessing that either:
- you've rid yourself of one of the more ambitious parasite only usually seen in CGI on House
or
- it is icky in the gooey, schmaltzy and heart-warming sense

Bravo either way.

Stoatie, you may post your icky squelchy romanti-happy, but only if you go into EXTREME MEDICAL DETAIL about any and all physical contact between you and the lady. Gentlemen don't tell, of course, but I do so hope you're not a gentleman ...

Ah, sweet sweet lovin.' Good on you, Stoats.

Well, being a gentleman (sorry WP!) all I'll say is that the third date was a spectacular success.

17:32 / 05.07.07
Well, obviously 'tis not my place to tell much here, but let's just say that when Stoatie and I were a-dog walkin' earlier he was extremely tired out by the previous night's booze and not having been home until the early hours of the morning.
 
 
Kali, Queen of Kitteh
17:37 / 05.07.07
Ohhhh. So it was just a bender, then. I feel assured.
