White Gold Wielder

Post by Forestal »

I know I'm not around the watch all that often (although I have started lurking around a bit more recently), but I thought I should share the news here because I'm sure you all will appreciate the continuity.

My girlfriend accepted my proposal last night, which of course, I made with white gold. So, we have a new white gold wielder in the Forestal household.

Not every person is going to understand you and that's okay. They have a right to their opinion and you have every right to ignore it.

She does, she's about half way through TIW at present.

Sounds like a keeper! :biggrin:

Super-congrats, Forestal!
And glad to hear that you've been around more! (Whenever one of the "true oldbies" shows up, I get excited!!)

They don't take long looks at anything, because they lack the courage.
The way to despair is to refuse to have any kind of experience, and the novel, of course, is a way to have experience."
-Flannery O'Connor

"In spite of much that militates against quietness there are people who still read books. They are the people who keep me going."

Oh she is, that's why I put a ring on it ^.^

Not sure how I feel about being an "oldbie" though... doesn't feel like I deserve such a distinction, given my lack of presence and only possessing the persistence to continue to show up like a case of something unpleasant. But this did make me go look over the memberlist to see how many "oldbies" there would be. I didn't realise I was member #163, surprising, I thought that I'd be far lower down the list than that. Well... pleasure to be so, I guess?
