vyvyanxWell, since late Saturday night/early Sunday morning we have spent a lot of time telling people about the engagement and being congratulated on it :-) G rang a few people in the middle of the night to tell them straight away; during Sunday he posted announcements to a couple of mailing lists and rang more people, including his parents in Malta. Sunday evening we went over to GB's place, where EB made a wonderful roast dinner (quorn roast for me - yum!) and we watched Neverwhere, which was fantastic. Oh yes, JS and EC were there too. We all drank much and smoked stuff and people played various Xbox games, and later we watched some episodes of Black Books, which was very funny. Very good evening, though when we left G felt rather guilty for spilling stuff on the carpet - sorry!
Monday I made an announcement to my local newsgroup and also came into college to see my oldest and best friend A. He was most surprised by the news, but said he liked G, so that's good. He hasn't always liked people I've gone out with. Monday evening, got stuff from Sainsbury's and walked back to G's place, arriving rather late. He'd promised to cook, but was engrossed in a game of CounterStrike with R, which couldn't be terminated until midnight. So we resigned ourselves to eating rather late, and drank a couple of bottles of dodgy rose, and smoked lots of dope until the game was over. Finally had delicious vegetarian fry-up in the middle of the night.
Tuesday we got up around midday and ate lots of potato waffles, until G got up the energy to go out. We walked to the JobCentre for him to sign on, but unfortunately it closed just as we got there - we'd thought it shut at 5, but actually it shut at 4. How annoying. Went to get large bottle of cheap wine and then sat on the Backs for a while, since the weather was quite nice, watching the river birds, tourists punting craply, and punt tour guides spouting bollocks as usual. Ah, the timelessness of Cambridge! The eternal moment!
In the evening, went to Mitre to drink Addlestone's with GC, GB, KB and SS. O turned up after a bit too. Got very trashed. Chatted lots to KB about how to get round to telling my parents about the engagement (I don't think they're going to be too pleased, unfortunately). After a bit, all wandered off to the Kambar. All gets rather vague at this point. I seem to recall dancing quite a lot, and chatting to various people about various things, and I guess we must have left at some point, since I'm not still there... Back in college managed to injure my foot while doing things best not mentioned in my living room :-) It hurts now.
Life is good.
