My cousin got engaged last Friday! WOOT! We all love Peter XD Apparently my sister knew it was going to happen for a while now, but didn't say anything to us. Or me. Boooooo. So much for all them DnMs :P Peter had been going in to her store for about a month or more saying it'd happen soon, it'll happen. He bought the ring near her store, and he's always checked in on Kate when he's been in the area, so it makes sense that she was one of the first to know. The only bad thing is the date of the engagement party - it's the same night we'd planned on going to Oxford Street again :(I'll just have to see if we can reschedule that, I guess. It'll probably be better this way, though, seeing as I have a recording assignment due the next week, and I'll probably need the whole weekend, as well as most of Friday, for editing (which means no work, too).

I've also remembered a couple other things about Friday night:

One of Lynn's friends sms-ed him during work to let him know he was no longer a virgin. Found that somewhat disturbing.

Had interesting discussions with Lynn about Stalker Matt (so as not to confuse him with Smoker Matt, the Uni Friend), and how Lynn will never ever get with a guy. Even if we are better at some things ;) May have pressed a little too hard in geting that response; his original response was "it'd take more than [the fact that guys are better at that] for me to allow one to [do that which guys are better at] [to him]", and I wondered just how much more. I'm evil :P The conversation sprang from talking about one of the things Stalker Matt had asked me, namely if I'd heard about anythings "sus" going on in my year at school (which was all-male) now that I'd left. I.e. has anything sordid and saucy come into light.

Rye was creepy when Cyn first met him. I'm not allowed to tell anyone, though, in case it gets back to Melissa. :S Would have been nice to know that before I saw them walking off together... would have tried harder to remember her name through the semi-stupor.

Cyn and I had a bit of a DnM while at Purple Sneakers. She has serious issues in believing that anyone actually likes her, which is hard to believe in and of itself because she is so awesome, and I think I told her something like "If there's anything you ever need, you can count on me. You should know by now that I love you." We hugged. She's awesome. I didn't, however, end up buying her a drink :S

Smoker Matt and Uni Peter (to separate him, in this post only, from Fiance Peter) were dancing pretty damn close. I mean, we were all dancing quite close, even dirty some may say (so.out.of.character. for me), but Uni Peter was really getting in there with Smoker Matt. I don't know if Smoker Matt realised, though; they weren't exactly facing one another...

I got tipsy/drunk pretty quickly that night. I only had two beers and two smirnoffs. It usually takes a lot more than that to befuddle me to the point of dance-making. Maybe it was just the company and the music.

OH OH OH!!! I was completely over-dressed. I was worried I was going to be, because I usually am and only had a very vague memory of my last fleeting visit, and I simply had no idea what to wear. I ended up being the only person wearing a shirt. Every one else was tee's with cardy/zip-up. Except for Holly; she was dressed for things better than Purple Sneakers, but she had an Edward Scissorhands tee, so she was cool. Or, rather, crazycool.

That's another thing - the crazycool thing. I don't know if I explained this in the last post, but I feel I must make sure you all know. One cannot be both crazy and cool. It is a scientific impossibility. Much like the theory that no one can know both the Ultimate Question and the Ultimate Answer, lest the Universe explode/implode, and get replaced by something that makes even less sense... it's a Douglass Adams thing. However, instead of the consequence being universal destruction, it is rather more personalised. That is, things fall off. Yes. Things. They fall. From the body. And to a far more "off" position. It has been scientifically proven that one cannot be both crazy and cool, lest this startling and rather horrific side-effect take place. The only solution is for potential victims to be crazycool, a sort of crazed coolness; one lone quality, as opposed to two conflicting. Therefore I would ask that you all take heed, and make sure that none of your friends or loved ones are indeed both crazy and cool, merely crazycool. This has been a public service announcement.
