jenepelMy best friend from university just called to tell me that she is engaged. I mean, it's been a long time coming, it's a four year relationship, so I'm not exactly surprised. And yet it still knocked me for six. I'm having trouble believing it's actually true. And now that the initial excitement and squeeing is over (I yelled SO LOUD down the phone) I feel...IDK, a little weird about it. It's probably just in the realm of the whole other people moving on thing, because that's just not where my life is headed right now. And it feels so PERSONAL since it's her - it's the closest thing to having a sister getting married (I don't have a sister). I only have one friend I am closer to, and she is no where near marriage. So this feels really really big.
Also? They are considering having the wedding in November. THIS NOVEMBER. She was like "well that's not for sure, and I wanted to know what your schedule was, and when you would be able to get away" which WOW. But actually that works out pretty well since I already asked for two weeks sometime in either late Oct or Nov. The only sad thing is I'll be away during Nano! Oh how shallow I am. But it sounds like it's going to be a really tiny wedding, and there's some more emotional stuff there to do with that, and I can't go into it now since it's almost 2AM and I only got 3 hours of sleep last night and I WAS SUPPOSED TO SLEEP MORE TONIGHT and obviously I suck at that. I'm totally exhausted and obviously crazy. My bed calls me. But I needed to at least mention it in the first full flush of amazement. Maybe tomorrow I will come to terms with reality. (Oh and chat -![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
basilm I NEED you to be on gchat tomorrow because there are things that should be discussed. I gotta talk to someone about it all and I need YOU!)
[ETA: It says something about the time of life I am at that I actually have a "weddings" tag that gets used fairly often. I was all thinking that I was going to no more weddings this year since the one last week went haywire, and now look at it all! Should have known I wouldn't get away with just the one this year...]
