So if you read my last post here you'll know of my, well, predicament. I was pretty convinced my girlfriend was going to leave me once I said "tarrah" and hopped on a 2 winged thing to Africa to do my humanitarian work. I've been sitting on it for months and it's been driving me frankly bonkers.
Anywho, I went and emotionally blew up in front of her today - as you do - and she held out her hand to me and just said "Me and you, together". She had a tear running down her cheek and smile that lit up the room, so I knew she wasn't having me on. In my mind I've played through every scenario I thought possible, and not one of them ended nicely. But it looks as though the scenario that really matters, will. Ohhh, Yipidipido!! :D
I have no real reason for telling any of you this, but I feel like I have to talk about it, it really has made my year. I could not have been any happier with the reaction she gave me. Sure, there were tears and awkward moments, but that just lets me know she's serious. It was just her hand, a statement and one very nice, passionate kiss. Yeah, yeah. Sad, I know... (You're totally jealous).
So that's it, me writing to let you all know it's 03:51am at the time of writing and I have Never been any happier than what I am now. Never has my future seemed so bright and full of opportunity, but to be honest, never have I even thought of it that way.
Yay for totally Bipolar me!!
On another matter, what are your opinions on mass immigration to the UK and US? I'm interested in what people think. You can comment here or use the common way of messaging me which is to drop me a bell on Interpals. http://www.interpals.net/al-le-gr-fi
You are very lucky, and I am happy for you.
ReplyDeleteMy country, India, has seen the greatest migration in the history of mankind: look up the Partition of India on the Net. It was a titanic upheaval, and the scars still show. Immigration from the neighbouring countries has never stopped; only, because the population here is so gigantic (there are many states in India whose populations are far bigger than that of the UK), and the country is very messy (a polite word would be 'accommodative') anyway, it doesn't show so much. Britain's woes are much more obvious because the country is small, the population is already dense, and the native culture not only organized and orderly to a degree which immigrants have trouble adjusting to, but there are, as you know, pockets of strong racism as well. On the whole, however, I do think Britain has tried to make a good job of creating a multicultural society - bent over too far backwards to accommodate recalcitrant people, I sometimes think. Nothing wrong in demanding that immigrants who want to settle down permanently give proof of knowing English and a bit of good manners, such as not peeing on the street, and do not claim cultural immunity when they beat up their wives and daughters...
