the proposal

you're not gonna believe this. i don't believe this. it's the weirdest thing that's ever happened to me. i was walking down the street when i met this old classmate of mine i hadn't seen in, what, over ten years. i'd thought about him once in a while, during that time, cos he was a really nice guy and i liked him a lot. anyway, there we were, and we ended up at a nearby pub, talking about everything that's happened to us since we left school. and then he told me he'd thought about me too, and one thing led to another and, this is where it gets bizarre, he proposed! can you believe it??? i can't! i'm still in shock. i laughed it off, thinking he was trying to be funny, but apparently, he was dead serious. we talked about it (i tried to explain it was a bit rash, and he explained that he'd loved me since i invited him to this party i gave when we finished out exams), and i think i've convinced him that we should at least just wait and see if we're compatible, and take it slow, to figure out if we (and especially he) really want this. so, there we have it. i'm shell shocked. i would think i'd dreamed it all if there hadn't been a msg on my machine this morning. he wants to go for dinner tonight. i already have other plans, i'm sure he can wait just one more day, considering all the years he's waited... i think i need to go to my room and think. yes. that's what i'll do.
