I'm engaged.
you read correctly oh-so-random-reader, i'm eighteen, with this guy for four months, and now we're getting married. mad hey?! i'm very mad! not really. though the guy is definitely so. not really. but i'm guessing everyone thinks it....let me tell you about how he proposed.
he got up at dawn, travelled into the uni we both go to, and put onto every computer screen's desktop a picture of him on one knee holding out a ring, with "ROSA, WILL YOU MARRY ME" floating above him. anyway, we had computer class that morning (i slept in because that's what you do) and everyone rocked up to the classroom and were blown away by what was up on the wall (one of the computers is rigged up to a gigantic projector), and even our way cool lecturer got really into it, suggesting enthusiastically that he could make it into an animated gif to make the ring sparkle and "I can't believe this is happening in my class...this is so cool."
So time passed and i ended up missing my bus, so mark was gnashing his teeth in the classroom, along with everyone else who had just accepted that this wasn't a joke and were now thinking this was better than any movie, and i eventually meander towards the classroom and stick my head in.
a whole heap of heads swiveled towards my direction and i apologetically told dean (our lecturer) that i'd have to go to the afternoon class because i just had one scene left to animate, so if that was ok with him....and i started to close the door when there's a sudden outbreak of random noises, seeming to say "no! come back! bleh! hold on! just a minute!" but i shook my head regretfully (i had animation to do) and closed the door.
however the slam of the door closing was punctuated with gigantic anguished hoots coming from the other side (which made me back away even faster ....weirdoes) and start off briskly down the hallway.
anyway, i got maybe a couple of metres when dean bursts out of the door and comes to an abrupt halt just behind me. he stared blankly at me for a split second before saying quite solemnly that we only had five minute contact time with him today, and i'd better come back to class this instant. i looked blankly back and followed up with an incredulous "really?!" and then ling (a classmate of mine) bursts out of the door and starts shoving me back to the computer classroom. i gave a few indignant yelps (and took note of how calm dean was at another student assaulting me) before she threw her hands over my eyes and pushed me through the door.
when i opened them i was greeted with a gigantic kneeling, proposing mark on the wall, the song 'rosana' playing luridly in the background. i froze and slowly turned to look over a sea of expectant faces grinning like idiots at me, and a blushing-like-mad mark slouching into his chair on the other side of the room.
oh shit. bugger. i have to get this done before the solar power cuts out or i lose everything. gotta go, but i guess the rest is simple anyway. in fact it all was very simple. i said yes, an enthusiastic hell yes (after first fleeing the classroom but let's not get into that) and now we're engaged and just as passionately in love as we were before.
so that's it. the whole shbang. another classmate of ours, hans, also just recently got married...so everyone seems to think that there's something in the air-conditioner. hey, maybe they're right....but last year, all the second years were into 2D animation, this year everyone's into marriage - yeah...everyone figured us out. it's the cool thing you see *grin*
nah...i dunno. i wonder how our parents would've reacted if they were in the classroom.
i supposed it beats the "After much sex, mark and i have decided to get married." scenario. bahaha.
crap! the power!
