Engagement, Nouns and Ninjas
June 16th, 2008So I got engaged last night.
An hour and a half long discussion about travel, plans, new life, etc. escalated into a full-on proposal to Tristan. I figured it would happen sooner or later. It was pretty cool ’cause we were laying in bed talking about everything we usually talk about, like we do at times (both Capricorns and worry a lot :).
Anyway, so I started from my back, to my side, then next thing I knew I was rolling over her side to the floor beside her (we’re currently living in a place the size of a shoebox and since she’s claustrophobic, I get to sleep sandwiched between her and the wall), all Ninja-like of course. Then, next thing I knew I progressed from talking on super-evolved states and what not, while standing, to kneeling on one knee and asking her to get married.
And that was that. Um, almost.
The coolest part was that I did it by the light of the (nearly) full moon and instead of your standard blood diamond ring (still working on the right fair trade diamond ring…I’m really picky :), I wove one with magical, love energy.
It was totally sweet.
Incidentally, an engagement according to Ninjawords states:
“engagement
(n) : an appointment, especially to speak or perform; connection or attachment
“the lecturer has three speaking engagements this week.”
Interesting choice of words to describe something so meaningful to most people, heh?
