special engagements

so my buddy just pops online now and says "hello" to me (all over msn). it's about 12:30 am and i worked till 11 tongiht. i honestly would jsut rather go to bed. but just as i'm about to message him explaining that i was heading to bed he mentions that he just broke up with his girlfriend. so i'm obligated to stay and chat right? But i dont really want to. this guys live is like a soap opera when it comes to relationships. it seems like when we haven't talked for a while he gets around and has had three relationships and then when we do talk he's got a steady girlfriend. This girlfriend (like about three or four before) was supposidly the one. I've even had the 'yeah, i'm going to propose' talk with him. I thought it was too early, but it's not me and i'm not going to be the one to stop his desire for no reason other then the fact that he's only 23 or 24 which feels too young. Well i guess when you think about it, 24 isn't a bad time to get engaged, cause you are engaged for at least 6 months and by that time are almost 25. What a real probablem, i think, is thinking that this is the one only after a few months. you have to concider the honeymoon period. If your in the honeymoon period for a really long time, that's a good sign. My rule is two years. A lot happens to a person in two years and if a couple can withstand that together and still have a desire to be together then it's a good chance that relationship is a keeper. but really, if you want to get engaged that's cool by me, but just don't jump the gun.

My friend Heather is engaged. She got engaged after about 7 or 8 months. Wow i say, but i'm happy for her and hear that Ron is a great guy. My friend Kristy got engaged as well but i'm not sure how long her and Chad had been dating. She was the one though, who we all thought would be the last to be married. It just seemed like she had the least desire to settle down with someone. As well Maggie is engaged. her and Andrew have probably been together for about two years and even though 22 seems young, i think they know what they are doing. I really like Andrew, i couldn't wish any less for Mags. of the three i think Heather is getting married first and then Mags and then the fallowing summer is Kristy. I think the next to get engaged out of the ten Aylmer friends is Jenn becasue her and Nick have been together for a while now. Then maybe MIchelle, but i don't want to through any money down this time in our lives is a new one and one must never be too caught up in the present.

well the boy has let me go for the night so i will end this blog and hit the hay for the night of January 21, 2005.
