New Year's Eve Summary And, Ahem, Announcement
heptadecagram and I were on the 3-party plan.
We started off with ednoria's yoga party. I had worked out the day before. Yoga is just stretching, right? Wrong! I have a few sore muscles I didn't know were there in the first place. It was very instructive, and I'd like to do it again :)
Next, we went to werewulf's Shakespeare-themed party. We wandered around in costume for a while. I got to see people I don't intersect with often enough (SFI always overlaps with werewulf's movie night).
Then heptadecagram and I performed the proposal scene from Henry V.
Then heptadecagram proposed to me in earnest. And I said yes. I'm rather happy right now!1
The entire thing is on videotape if anyone not present at the party is feeling masochistic.
Then, we went to Ingrid's party (she is LJ-less). We had some incredibly good food, got congratulated some more, played a board game and then played pool for a while. I like pool. It reminds me of archery, which is also a quiet aiming sort of game that I rarely get around to playing.
The day involved a lot of wardrobe changes, but it was worth it!
1. Yes, I knew he was going to propose. Why did we decide to do a public proposal? The idea seemed to tickle heptadecagram, and, well, I enjoy tickling him :) With werewulf's Shakespeare party coming up, heptadecagram asked me if I knew of any Shakespeare plays with proposals (besides R&J). I made the mistake of mentioning that I love Henry V because it has really great battle scenes, and oh yeah, there's a proposal scene in there too. So, I ended up with the part with the most speaking lines since I don't know French. And the rest is history!
