anagramofbrat: (amethyst heart)
I thought I'd posted something this morning while the parade was on (cause I was, as per usual, parked three feet from Monstervision watching the whole thing and clowning it on Twitter. (Today's Tvity post is going to be lollarious.) but I guess I never hit post. I'm pretty sure I still have the entry on Squee - if my blather about what I made for [livejournal.com profile] cell23's grandparents' Thanksgiving table and the parade isn't too incredibly inane I'll post it later.

Anyway saying I had a good T-day was a bit of a, well, understatement seeing as [livejournal.com profile] cell23, with his impeccable timing, completely derailed a round of "everyone around the table say what you're thankful for" by stating he was thankful that we managed to live together for over a year without me murdering him and did I want to keep going with that? while waving a small white box with a ring in it in my general direction.

NGL, I don't think I remember enough about the actual food after that to report on what I ate or how good it was. Actually I think I had to be reminded that I actually had to SAY "yes," before I did, lol. Squee does not count as a proposal acceptance.



So um, yeah, That happened. Still squeeing a few hours later.



While there is no way in hell it's going over my knuckle without assistance, it's still a wee bit spinny around my finger proper so gonna see about picking up a ring guard when the black friday zoo calms down a bit. Christ, my fingers are dinky.

Anyway, both our families are ridiculously excited (I could hear Dad grinning across two states through a phone line, my sibs are all besides themselves, Kidzilla did that thing where she doesn't say anything but her eyes get real big and she starts giggling a lot behind her hands, and I swear to god, cell23's mother literally DANCED with squee and fussed at him for not doing this sooner), I'm still a wee bit shellshocked, and cell23 is complimenting himself, no doubt, on a proposal well done. At some point I'm sure I will personally explode into cat 1 freakout but for now I'm limited to random bouts of EEEEEEEEEEE! and fidgeting with the shiny. I mean, I won't lie, I did have a pretty good idea this was coming, but the actual event itself still hit me like a wet sack of squee cement.

I would say that's something to be thankful for, eh?

Love? WTF, dude, I was just using you for bling. Don't make it more than it was, and maintain some semblance of dignity.

A sack of wet squee cement... *giggle*

Congrats again. And I believe that "squee" is in fact an acceptable substitute for "yes" :)

BTW, I know you must be very busy what with the holidayness and the getting engaged and all that, but it occurs to me that you live in MA, which is the state I am currently visiting through this coming Wednesday, and I sure would love to actually meet you in person... I'll message you my contact info just in case you like the idea of us catching up!
