Engaged...
Yesterday was pretty much the best day ever. It was tariqa's birthday, and as she's never liked her birthdays I thought I'd make at least this one memorable and ask her to marry me... and she said yes! Wooooo! So we're now officially engaged. It's pretty awesome.

I got her what Wikipedia calls a "promise ring" - being a poor student still, a proper bling-ring's a little out of the question for now. It's still pretty nice, and has some tiny little diamonds that I'm sure no Africans would have been killed for.

I foolishly updated my Facebook status before getting to uni, so was ambushed by a gaggle of female classmates wanting to know the full story... hamymonkey said it's a genetic thing. Tariqa had a similar situation at work apparently, after one of her workmates caught a glimpse of the new mini-bling on her finger...

I suppose the next step is telling my mum and her dad...

So um, yeah. There was lots of icing on today's cake too! (that sounded like something Alan Partridge would say, I've been watching far too much).

I handed in two assignments, leaving only a couple more till I'm done... I passed the phone interview and got an in-person job interview at Netguide... I found Civilization IV Complete (with all the addons) has been released, so finally bought it...

Then to top it all off, on the way home, I got to ride in one of them Diplodocus-length bendy buses!!!

What an awesome day.
