Happy news and updates!
(Votes/comments would be appreciated on this journal.)
It's been about 5 days since me and my boyfriend's 2nd year anniversary of being together, and I put him in charge of how to celebrate. He took me to one of our favourite cafés in town. It's an Italian themed café called Café Gelato. It's got great atmosphere, terrific decor, amazing food, and a very pleasant staff and owner. And it was at this little café that my boyfriend, as we were waiting on our orders, decided to drop the bomb on me.
We had a couple of napkins on the table and he had placed a box of mints on top of them to act as a weight. However, he said that he thought it made a pretty ugly paper weight. Me being me, I thought it was just the placement of it, since he had placed it on its side, and adjusted it so it was laying flat against the napkins. Then he placed something on top of the box of mints and kept it covered with his hands for a few moments, before revealing a small box.
I wasn't stupid, so I knew instantly what he was about to do, but I did have one little suspicion that he could just as well be pulling one over me. It wouldn't have surprised me, but as he opened the little box my suspicions were dissolved, because in that little box rested one single, simple silver ring.
And as soon as he knew I'd seen the ring I could hear a faint and Canada-esque "Will you become engaged with me?" from my boyfriend who sat opposite of me, and looking meek. I found myself a little stunned and a bit caught off-guard, but I nodded and said yes.
After that we spent a couple of hours roaming the city in wait for the time of our reservation at a fancy restaurant in our town, but it was worth the wait. The dinner was superb, but not that I had expected anything less of Montmartre.
Anyways. My point, and my good news, is that I am now engaged to my boyfriend of two years. :)

On another note, I'm a little curious about what you guys want to see from me. Art, poetry, Self-insert drabbles, original stories or reader inserts?
If art: I've got a lot of uploaded sketches and traditional work, any particular ones you want to see drawn digitally?
If reader inserts: What do you want the most? AR Songfics, last chapter of Switzerland x Reader, something entirely new, or a re-done version of Faded to Black?

On yet another note, I'm extremely pissed at my current study book... For those who don't know, I'm taking a waitering course. I'm basically learning to become a professional waitress, and we're using a book to study... A book that doesn't know what it wants to teach and that's objectively judgmental. It also keeps getting off-track from what it's supposed to teach.
Example: In the chapter about glasses the first thing it did was tell you that in one form or another glasses have been around since 3000 years BC or something. And my reaction to that was "Okay... Good to know but what use to I have of this when waitering??"
And it's objectively judgmental in the way that it discriminates left-handed people for instance.
Example: "Your right hand is your work hand. Your left hand is the hand you carry with. Those who are left handed are recommended to learn a right handed carrying technique." Basically it's telling all left-handed people to become ambidextrous or to become right-handed, and it annoys me so much because a right-handed person would NEVER have to hear that, ever!
I know that I'm probably overreacting, but it still bothers me, because the entire book is written towards right-handed people, which forces me to think right when it says left, and left when it says right.
And on another page it basically says that waistresses should NOT wear trousers and should only wear trousers if they're ALLOWED to. Just... Ew. =_=
But anyway. The reason I'm bringing this up is because tomorrow or the day after that I'm supposed to have a test on pgs 9-118 in this book, and it takes me hours to get through these pages because:
1: This book is written in a way to make me annoyed.
2: There's so much content and I don't know what I'm supposed to focus on, which makes me try to remember every single word because my brain is convinced that everything is important.
3: It's BOOOOOOORING!!! I'm not even kidding when I say that this book almost works as a sleeping pill for me... =_=
And not only that, but we all have homework to read up to pg 28 in another book and do exercises in that book.
My brain = Noping out. One thing at the time, man!
