I totally know that feeling! It took me like two years on subeta to say hello to anyone XD!

I collect the plushies, beanbags and trading cards :3! Omi actually has her plushie collection complete and only needs one more beanbag O_O! I need like... 2000 more hahaha XD!

So how are you ^-^? Do you have much planned for the weekend?

Only one beanbag more?!?!?! :O That's impressive.

This weekend, we're building a new catbox for our kitties... It'll be sort of a triangle-shaped dog house behind a mirror that we used to just lean against the wall, so then the box will fit inside. For now, they've just had a little kitten box, because other than behind the mirror, we have no space for a second big box. But they're way too big for that little box!!

Then, I think we're over at the in-laws either today or tomorrow. They bought a new light for their kitchen, and my husband is going to install it for them.

Aww that sounds awesome :D!!!! ❤️! What are your kitties names :D? it sounds pretty epic I bet they'll love it once its done :3!

That'll be nice :3!

Im just gonna chill out and play video games with today :)! I went and got my car washed and didnt realise it had basically turned grey over the past few weeks haha XD!

Their names are Esmeralda (like the gypsy) and d'Artagnan (like the musketeer). :)

Welcome to the group! Glad to have you here! 😁

Thanks :D

Thank you Pengy.

My name is Kiro. I have been playing Subeta for about 4 years, but recently deleted my account and started over. I've been a very shy person and haven't really gotten out and spoke to people so I thought it was time for a new start and to get out of my shell. I live in Canada, and am newly engaged as of last night.

I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone.

Welcome!!

Ew, , that sounds like a lot of work! But I'm sure you'll do a great job!

And aren't they pretty kitties? All kitties are wonderful, and beautiful, and awesome, but I feel like we got especially lucky with our two. They're really great. And yes, we got their box finished. It's lovely, and their thrilled to have so much bigger of a box. :)

As for the names... We had a really hard time coming up with the girl name. The boy name, however, had been decided for ages. I've ALWAYS wanted to name a cat d'Artagnan, and my family always vetoed the name. So a bit after I married my husband, I made him promise if we ever got a male cat, we could name it d'Artagnan. :P So the name was pre-planned by about two and a half years. :O

Anywho, this week, I have my usual ESL classes (we're covering there was/were, most/best/coolest, irregular past tense verbs, and I don't remember what in the other classes)... I also have a few more chapters of translating before I finish translating book 3 in the series I'm working on. Then, we just have editing until the end of the month, and then that book will be ready to go out on all of the websites... So yeah, lots of editing to do...

Welcome to the group!! Congrats on getting engaged! That's super exciting. Are you guys planning a short engagement or a longer one? I know some people take years to plan their wedding, but we got married... I think five months after we were engaged? Anyway, have fun with everything!

Thank you so much ? I have no idea, he popped the question last night at dinner so we haven't had a lot of time to talk it over seeing as he has to work today. I'm sure once he gets home from work we will talk it over more.

It feels so unreal like it was a dream, I doubt the realization has actually set in, not only that I am finally getting married to the man of my dreams, but the fact that it's actually legal for us to get married. Back when we first started dating, We weren't able to get married.

Ah, I see. Then you guys have a lot to talk about! I guess since it wasn't legal to get married before, it makes sense that you guys haven't talked about it much yet. I mean, my husband and I knew quite a lot of things before he popped the question... We knew we would file for paperwork almost right away, and we knew where we would get married, and loads of other stuff.

Are you guys both from the same area, or do you have two main places to choose from? My husband is from Switzerland (where you have to have a civil ceremony before you can have anything else), and I'm from the US, so in the end, we had a civil ceremony, and then a year and a half later we had a church wedding in Switzerland, and a reception of sorts in the states, where I dressed up in my dress again. Let me tell you, planning THREE wedding-things is NOT a good idea, lol. So hopefully you won't have it quite as complicated. :)

But that is really great for you two. :D Have fun with the planning, and don't let anyone else take over your wedding! This is your guys' day, and it should be exactly the way you want it, however that might be. :)

It's not that we haven't spoke about it, we know that we want a church wedding, and we will both be in a Tux, mine white, his black. But we haven't really decided when or anything. I think we're going to take things slow, so I would assume at least a year until we hold the actual wedding ?

I'm more excited at this point in time about telling my parents. My mother has been so supportive the last 6 years him and I have been in a relationship, has always been supportive of me being gay. My dad on the other hand, it took him some time to really accept the fact that his son wasn't what he would call "normal", but now he accepts it 100%.

[B] FREAKING CONGRATULATIONS OMGOMGOMGOGMGGGHDHIHIOFSAFHS [/b] :D :D :D!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is the most epic news ❤️!!!! I bet you're beyond excited :3!!!!!!

why was it illegal for you two to get married? ;---;!!

[edit]

seen your comment above mine after posting and now I assume gay marriage has only recently been legalised in Canada? I live in Northern Ireland where it's still illegal because this country is a backwards hole but one day I hope its legal, both my best friends are Lesbians and I want them to get married already XD

Too pretty ❤️! I do love kitties! A woman at the bottom of our street has one of those Norwegian forest cats and its AMAZING O_O! It sits there like a wee lion ❤️!

Awww why did they keep vetoing the name haha XD?! Its such a unique name for a pet :D! I have a rabbit called Mushroom which everyone laughed at me for and now I just call her Bun so I guess everyone had a point haha XD! She gets called Mushroom when she's bad :')!

What is ESL classes :D? that sounds like a great job :D! What language do you translate the books from :3? Is it a popular series :3?

Haha thank you so much! and because same sex marriage was not accepted through the church for the longest time.

Welcome to the group! And congratulations on your engagement!!

Thank you so much ? My, everyone has such amazing HA's

Well I am glad it is legal now :D!!!!! ❤️! Whats your engagement ring like :3 :3???????

I just seen your comment about my HA example and I'm like dying laughing haha :')! Naked HAs for the win ❤️ :')!

I wish I had a picture but I can't get one right now. It's a silver band with 3 sapphire gems, a big one in the center and then on either side is a smaller one.

That sounds lovely ❤️ :D! Once you get a photo you'll have to show us!

I remember hearing something about 3 stoned engagement rings meaning something special...

Google to the rescue

Another reason 3-Stone Engagement Rings have been desirable is because of what they symbolize. Often referred to as trinity or trilogy rings, they have come to represent: The past, present, and future of your relationship. Friendship, love, and fidelity.

Awwww see :3! That makes your ring even more romantic now :D!
