First a preface: Many of my dearest friends were staff at Golden Words (the Queen’s University Humour Paper). In fact most of the people on my side bar are GW alumni. When you work at a humour paper, and are hopefully a funny person, you tend not to be caught up in all things PC. I have a pretty healthy amount of distain for the PC movement, but that rant is another blog (being called vertically challenged does not change the fact that you’re short). My friends say awful things. They always have and I’ve always loved them for it. I’ve also always known what kinds of people they are and the values that they have. They’re great people and I adore them.
During our last couple of years at school 3 couples came into being around the same time. M and I in late December 1998, Mike and Dawn not long after that and Dave and Andrea about the same time. Besides the timing, all 3 relationships had one thing in common: we all tried to hide the fact that we were dating. Be it from other people (M & I) or from ourselves, it was one really big denial fest. By about March/April everyone had come out in the open and all three relationships have been going strong ever since.
I’d often wondered, considering the confluence of hook ups, which, if any, of these couplings would make the scary commitment first. It appears that the trophy and washer/dryer combo go to Andrea and Dave who sent out this great announcement yesterday (The names parenthesis are pseudonyms ):
Ah hem!
David (Soapy) and Andrea (Bebe Craque) would like to announce their official engagement to each other.
Their goal is to torment one another until infinity X 2 or until one of them is SO GAY (whichever comes first).
Yay!
