I totally forgot to post about it here at the time due to my lameness, but my best friend Susan is engaged! Her boyfriend Steve proposed to her on Christmas Eve. They won't be getting married for probably a couple of years yet, but two days ago Susan asked me to be her Maid of Honour.

My response was pretty much to jump up from my computer and jump around excitedly (she did this over MSN, peoples - welcome to the electronic age!) - because, as you all know, I love weddings and I LOVE organise-y type things, and this means I get to be organise-y!

(Also I get another dress! Girls, you know what I'm talking about.)

This is the third time I've been asked to be a bridesmaid in the past two years, which is pretty impressive as I'd only been to one wedding before at all. (Although I am starting to feel a little 27 Dresses about it all.

So basically this boils down to YAY!

And now for the pimpage: my friend girl_starfish has started up an lj comm called fictionalstuff for people who write original fiction, as a sort of support group/critique group. If anyone's interested in joining, it's small but friendly! Please come and join us!
