Mark B and Yvonne are engaged. Sorry for not telling you sooner. It's been a while since I've written substantially, and even longer than that since I've simply wanted to write. Somehow perhaps, writing should be rejuvenating, rather than draining.. but in the past couple of months, it's been just that.

So they're engaged. They called me the morning after he proposed in a candlelit restaurant, with the waitress watching, teary-eyed and Mark mumbled sweet verses to his soon-to-be. She paused.... shocked and breath-taken, and affirmated the promise.

It felt so cool to hear them, happy and content and giggly. Drunk on their love..radiant. It's like we hugged over the phone. I love those guys.

Yvonne started joking about me and MY Mark..."Let's get married together!!!" And we laughed.

Mark and me, we're like....soul buddies. Last night we sat at Queen E. Park, laughing until our cheeks were sore and our guts were achey. I started crying, my eyes rolling back and hissing...hissing because I couldn't laugh anymore. I love him, but we have a long journey ahead of us. It's a maturity that I've never experienced.

Sex and the City

I lost my virginity on August 7th. It's been a couple episodes between then and now...and we think that we've just now broke IT.

Sounds strange? It did to us as well....but it also kind of freaked me out when he told me one morning that he found blood all over the place when he woke up. I wasn't menstrating, didn't have any scratches or cuts, and he didn't have any cuts so...well....that's our theory.

We shall find out the truth after this week of raggy hell.

Mallrats

I have been in the mall for five days straight. When I had the chance to go home early today though, I decided to go shopping. School's coming up in a couple days and I want new clothes!!!

So I got a new sweater and am also planning to purchase a dark denim jacket from my store, as well as some atheletic shoes, overalls and earrings with my initials on them. Can we get a bid? Total retail price, with employee discounts, should be about $250. Not a bad deal, huh?

What I'm really shopping for is a pair of khaki-coloured Silver label overalls that I had way back when I FIRST started BCIT. ( Remember??) Those were kick ass overalls. They went with ALL my tops, and ALL my shoes. I miss those overalls ever since they shrunk to fit my little sister.

*sigh*

Torment

Mark says I love to torment him. It isn't entirely untrue.

hehehe.

I got into his car one day when we were supposed to go out and announced, "Want to go out for dinner with my mother?"

He says I snickered michieviously, taunting him with my eyes before demanding an answer. "I have to call her back and tell her so she can make reservations!"

Of course, he wasn't at all prepared for my MOTHER (of all people), and declining wasn't an option either as it'd be a little rude, he felt, as she'd invited him to dinner.

I told Rebecca today while exchanging boyfriend stories and she laughed haughtily. "We have to have a little fun, don't we?"

Why yes, we do.
