Decade One
Feb. 8th, 2009 08:08 pmIt's ten years today since my friend and flatmate,
niallm, put words on the baroque tempest of emotion in which the two of us had been whirling since we'd moved in together eight days previously. (We hadn't seen it coming, although some of our friends had.) "You do realise," he said, as he sat on my bed at 9:20 that sleety Monday morning, "You do know that I'm falling slowly in love with you."
And I said, "Me too. Except in my case it hasn't been slow."
It's also four years today since we officially informed the State how things stood. Good parties, they were.
We went out yesterday evening for dinner (just the two of us! We were able to finish sentences and everything!), and this morning I made flapjacks OF TEH GODS as a small celebration. And my parents served champagne before Sunday lunch.
Looks like we're good for another ten years, anyway. Which is nice.
