Engagement
One wonderful christmas I returned home from Uni and proceeded to go out and get batfaced with my chums from the old home town. On this night I managed to charm a young lady (in actual fact she was retardedly drunk, and so as I leaned in to talk to her over the loud music, she attached herself to my face) and get her number. I spoke to her over the next couple of days and got the idea that she wasn't all there (like wanting to meet for a drink before work - at 10am. Meep!)

Anyway, Christmas eve rolls around, and I'm sat in the pub in what has become an annual praditional pub crawl. My brand new phone is sat on the table (Nokia 8310, it was that long ago), and I'm getting peoples numbers to out in it. One of my mates leans over and asks to look at the phone, me being prouder than a dad of a newborn, let them have a play.

As we leave and go to the next pub, I get a text from Strange girl saying something along the lines of 'Are you Serious?'.

eh? In my beer addled mind, I couldn't comprehend what she meant, and so asked her to explain her self.

In the mean time, we get to the next bar, and more beer was ingested. Her reply came in and sobered me up damn fast.

She wrote 'You just asked me to marry you'. And suddenly the penny dropped, I let her know it was in fact my loving mates who'd decided to ask her, and that I was sorry on their behalf. Thinking disater had been adverted, I tucked into another pint, then the dreaded vibration hit the leg. The message read as:

'Your friends are fucked up! Anyway, if you'd been serious, I'd have said yes.xxx'

Panic!

So I sort of got engaged on Christmas eve, via the power of message...

When can I expect my invitation?
