Today is the anniversary of the day I started going out with Babel. It’s the two year anniversary of that day, in fact, and so a proper anniversary we’re supposed to celebrate and not one like our 21 month anniversary which he can laugh at me for alluding to It was two years ago this afternoon, on our way home from an Esperanto weekend at Barlaston, that we formally got together, although to be fair, the more I think about it, the more I think we’d been in denial for quite some time about the idea that we might actually want to go out with each other. Last night I was searching for an email from someone else whose name begins with T, and accidentally ended up flicking through a few of the emails which I had sent to Babel back in the days where I allegedly didn’t like him at all. I was quite shocked by how outrageous some of the flirting was, and how he actually used to say such nice things to me He’s nowhere near as soppy now we’re actually a couple (more…)

When I switched my computer on this morning, Lotus Notes informed me that it was my anniversary. For several minutes I was highly perplexed, as I tried to remember what sort of anniversary it could possibly be. I was halfway through my breakfast before I realised it was referring to the anniversary of the day I started going out with the boyfriend I obviously still had when I set a recurring calendar entry to remind me of it. It seems rather shocking to think that it is now six years since the start of that relationship. Were we still together it would have been a long time to be together, but we’re not, which I am as exceptionally glad about as it is possible to be whilst feeling simultaneously guilty. Now all I need to do is figure out how to cancel recurring calendar entries in Lotus Notes! (more…)
