St Valentine's Day

[raven]

Um. I have tried to write this in five different ways in the last couple of minutes and deleted it every time.

Okay. Um. I went out with Hannah today, and stuff happened, and it's Valentine's Day, and god, I'm actually getting girlie just writing this, but we're together. Yeah, like that. It felt right.

The slightly longer version (yeah, while you all scrape bits of hathy_col off the ceiling) is, we spent the day together, shopping and talking, and we ended up in Costa in Waterstone's just as night was falling. Hannah wanted me to try this thing called a Chocolissimo, which is nothing so much as a fondue you drink with a chocolate spoon, and she ordered one which we ended up sharing. And while I was sitting there with the chocolate dripping onto my fingers, I started to wonder about the difference between this, what we have, this friendship that runs so deep, and what we could have if we only thought about it.

Argh. Kill me for my prose.

We talked about it for a while, and she drank chocolate stuff and we giggled (I can't eat melted chocolate!), and ended up kissing quietly while both entirely sober in a public place. And there are bad things (which we discussed) and good things (very good things) and all in all, carpe diem, my love. Seize the fish. :)

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone.

Aw, it's been the day for going public (http://www.livejournal.com/users/biascut/217769.html)! I'm so pleased for you!

(Rarely has the postcard "cover me in chocolate and throw me to the lesbians" been so apt...)

Thank you so much!

(I have that on a badge somewhere. Very appropriate, you're right!)

*squees quietly* I don't really know Hannah at all, but she sounds lovely, and i'm so happy for you - Happy Valentine's Day indeed :)

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much. *glompage*

[scarlatti.livejournal.com]

Awwwww...very sweet! :)

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

*squees* :)

[minttown1.livejournal.com]

Yay. Happy Valentine's Day. :)

[the-acrobat.livejournal.com]

Eek! YAY! That's terrific! I am so happy for you!
Hannah seems adorable. I barely know anything about her, but I like her all the same. Hurray!

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

*laughs* Thank you! I love your brand of excitement, it's so much more excited than anyone else's.

[dougs.livejournal.com]

Hurrah.

S and I have to wait another few days, but I thoroughly intend to eat melted chocolate together, and kiss in public.

Good one.

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

Thank you. Both of you certainly deserve chocolate. :)

Happy V day! :)

[gamesiplay.livejournal.com]

This still makes me smile.

:)

See?

Happy V-Day, again.

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

*giggles* Thank you!

Well done on the paper, by the way. Getting work done - so not my strong suit at the moment.

[gamesiplay.livejournal.com]

Thanks. :)

Also, meant to link this (http://www.livejournal.com/users/140205/2605.html?page=14#comments) in my last comment.

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

Oh, that is so lovely. I really don't know what to say. Except I'm glad I've converted you to the Cult of Cadbury's, and the feeling is so mutual it's not funny.

[tafkarfanfic.livejournal.com]

Oh! Schmoop!

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

Oh god, yes. Schmoop all over the place. *dies*

Also, while you're here - I'm still plodding away with the reworking of the fic, and when it's finished (hopefully soon) I will send it to you, but only if you want me to and can spare the time. From what I understand, you're busy with RL upheavals and suchlike, and I'm sure I have a couple of people I can sit on and persuade to beta. :)

[tafkarfanfic.livejournal.com]

Oh, please do send it to me. I will have time. Beta-ing your fic will mean that I can take a break from unpacking!

*squeels for Raven* Happy Valentine's Day, to you too. I'm so glad things went well with you and Hannah. It's so sweet, and somehow very mature of both of you.
*just hugs Raven for sheer fluffiness*

*squees* Thank you so much. *fluffiness*

[amchau.livejournal.com]

Happy Valentine's day, my dear! I'm glad things are going well for you. :)

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[That icon is brilliant. *stares at it*]

[amchau.livejournal.com]

What, this one? Thank you!

[eternalwings.livejournal.com]

happy valentines day *squees* good for you, sounds like you had a better one than me - watching savage garden several times in a row and the sniffling.

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

Sam, do me a favour - keep this quiet. I've no desire to be outed all over school.

Also, Savage Garden? So very gay. :)

[eternalwings.livejournal.com]

I only speak to three people in school- you,miranda and cath so you don't need to worry, like I would anyway.
And savage garden are gay, I know

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

Sorry, I really didn't mean to offend. But you know what our school is like.

Savage Garden, sigh. Never much liked Darren Hayes by himself, though. I saw them live once. omgthegay, etc.

[eternalwings.livejournal.com]

I wish I;d seen them live- daniel and darren *swoon* and our school sucks I know. *kicks Mrs.Brandrith* you do realise the entire place will be yellow by the time we get back *sighes* and I've been writing so much that my hands are cramping, ow.

[schlagen.livejournal.com]

Aww.. Happy Valentine's Day! xxx

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

And the same to you! :)

[pinkishmew.livejournal.com]

[very happy for you] <3

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

*mwah* <3

[chains-of-irony.livejournal.com]

*squees* Awww! So cute. Good luck to you both!

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

Thank you! *bounces*

[apestaartje.livejournal.com]

Hee! Yey!

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

Yay indeed! *mwah*

[osiris13.livejournal.com]

About time!

Seriously though, this has made an otherwise shitty day completely brilliant. I remember when me and Colleen first got together, you said that you were glad you'd introduced your best friend to her girlfriend. Well, looks like in a roundabout sort of way, I returned the favour.

*bounces happily*

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

I never even thought of that. *jumps on you* You are going to be my friend forever, okay? Ever 'n' ever.

[osiris13.livejournal.com]

Of course. There is no way we survived you moving away through the entire of senior school, only to lose contact at uni or beyond. Just, don't ever forget me.

*hugs without contact*

Am still ridiculously happy for you both, just thought you should know.

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

Forget you? Never, never, never. Best friends forever, remember? :) I meant it.

[hathy-col.livejournal.com]

*cries*

Oh my god, I'm so happy for you I am, in fact, actually crying. Fabulous!

*hugs you both very very tightly*

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

*holds you* Don't cry. This is all your fault. :)

YAYYYY!
