Meet the Parents! Yay!

 Hello again everyone!


 Well, we are still waiting to hear back from the doctors as to Sarah's health, but we are both still here, and happy! I am seeing her tomorrow, very excited :D Sad I know, but still. So today, children, I shall tell you about when Sarah met my parents, because it was pretty funny for all of us! My parents are separated, so this post will also include how I came out to each of them...Hmmm haha!
 Well, I told my Mum first. That was about 3 months before I met Sarah. I took her out shopping, and then to a restraunt. I though a public place would be best, as I wasn't too sure of her reaction. I actually said 'Mum, I am gay', and she nearly spat her drink all over the table, was pretty funny for me.:D She asked a couple of questions, and then I asked her what she thought. She said:


 'I still love you the same.'


Now THAT is the kind of reaction I wish every parent had. I think it shocked her a little, but now she has got used to the idea, she has been really supportive of me and Sarah. Instead of asking, if I am coming round, she asks if we want to come round. She always sends Sarah her love at the end of every conversation. I wish all parents were like mine, in that sense. Sarah has been accepted as part of the family. I am so lucky everyone gets on so well!
 As for telling my Dad, again, I chose a restraunt. Seeing as it worked with my Mum, I went for the same 'I have something to tell you Dad. I am gay.' angle. I was really unsure as to what my Dad would say, but there you go. He looked at me, and said:


'Well as long as you are happy, Darlin', it doesn't bother me! I am a bit surprised though.'


Apparently my hair and dress sense hadn't given it away. Well, who knows then!! So anyways, both of my parents knew, my brother had known for ages, though he guessed. Maybe he is smarter than I thought.. :) Nah, I love my big brother, he's such a lad :D (And clever too, regardless of what I may say!)


 So, meet the parents! Well, she met my Dad, brother and Brothers Girlfriend all at the same time. My Dad is Mike, my brother is Ben, and his girlfriend is Jodie.  Originally the plan was for Sarah to meet just my Dad, as we were all going to the pub together to watch the rugby, England vs. Wales.  However, just before half time my brother decided he was coming with Jo, so Sarah got to meet them all at once! As it was an England game, obviously we were all supporting England.. except Sarah! Some of her family is Welsh therefore she was supporting the sheep.. well, we all make mistakes!! Well, as soon as my Dad realised, the Welsh jokes started. One of my personal favorites was: 
'Why the hell would anyone pay to get over the bridge INTO Wales? I can understand coming OUT, but IN??!' LOL!
Well, after a few drinks, my Dad gave us the, 'You might be straight after puberty' talk. That was definitely amusing, LOL! So, after the game Dad dropped us back at mine! 5 minutes after we got in, he text me saying Sarah was great, he really liked her and he hoped to see us both again soon, Awww!


 Meeting my Mum, again Ben came, except this time without Jo. We all went out to dinner, and had the usual normal discussions, though my brother made the mistake of describing a jig at work:
 'It's MASSIVE! Anywhere between 6-8 inches depending on the job!'
Apparently my comment of  'Mate, 6 inches is NOTHING!' was not appreciated. My Mum nearly choked..oops! So then we all went home, after a lovely lunch together. That was pretty much when Sarah became part of the family, WOO!


 So, now, once again, it is time for me to go, however I have a little something for Sarah before I do. This is a personal message from me to her, so i thought you would all like to see. Made particularly relevant due to the situation!

This is Hayley: Signing off!

A Journey has it's ups and downs, but as long as you enjoy the ride, you know its worth it!!

Hello again everyone!


 Today, I will tell you about the first family event I attend with Sarah's Aunt, Uncle and Cousin. But first, there is something else I must say. And this is one of the not so good parts of our journey together. Sarah isn't very well at the moment, and is attending a lot of appointments and things, so please forgive me if my blog is not as frequently updated as you would like! However, as she keeps telling me, she is a fighter, and I told her she had best get better quickly, because it would be a shame if she missed her own engagement party! :D

 So, the BBQ! This BBQ was set-up by Sarah's Aunt's dance group. There were loads of people there, lots of family's, probably 80 in total. And get this.. THERE WAS A DANCE FLOOR! I may not be the most skilled of street dancers, but I make up for it with enthusiasm! :D (Micheal Jackson is a personal specialty!)
 So, after a few introductions, we were all sitting and chilling and eating, all the good stuff! Then I decided to ask Sarah's Aunt to teach me to dance. Little did I relalise it was Latin/Flamenco/ballroom stuff. Nice. Sarah decided she wasn't going to dance, so I was the first of the under 40's to enter the dance floor. Sarah's best mate and cousin had also decided to watch before they tried. Good choice.

I made a total prat of myself, and was being told you go 'IN..OUT...IN...OUT!' which did not increase my dancing abilities, as I was trying so hard not to fall apart laughing. After ONE song, I gave up and returned to a lot of piss-taking and impressions at the top of the hill where we were sitting.
 After a few hours of chilling, chatting and smoking (my three main talents!), Sarah showed me for the first time just how romantic she could be. She borrowed my iPod, and gave it to the DJ (Who was a bit rubbish incidentally).
 Our song (God knows why) is Better Together by Jack Johnson. Lovely Acoustic love song, and quite appropriate for us as we are both guitarists, and 100% better together. (Awww.. I know!) So, as Sarah comes back up the Hill, our song starts. She came over, smiled at me, and put her hands round my waist. I put mine round her neck, and we slow danced in the sun in front of the entire BBQ. It remains one of my favorite moments together. <3





So, after this little moment, we sneaked off to have some time together. We went on a walk around the lake, and fund a secluded bench where we sat and discussed Sarah's family and their reaction to me, and I hate to say in proper teenage fashion participated in some rather passionate kissing :D (When there was no one looking obviously!)


After an hour or so, we returned to the BBQ, by which time some more music from this decade had come on. MY TIME TO SHINE! I grabbed Matt, Sarah's cousin and dragged him to the dance floor. He was just as enthusiastic as me, and I think we got a few odd looks as we danced club-style in the middle of the dance floor. We were soon joined by Sarah's mate, Matt's mate and Sarah. We then LITERALLY took over the dance floor.
 I think we definitely got some dissaproving looks from some of the more elderly dancers. Apparently two girls grinding is not a good idea.. ;) But, after a few minutes, to my great surprise, Sarah's Aunt joined us! LOL! That DEFINITELY got some looks!
 The last song was California Gurls by Katy Perry, one all 5 of us knew, which lead to a full-on rave on a wooden dance floor! I must admit, me and Matt do make a rather fantastic dance couple, though he was a BIT too enthusiastic about running his hands over me.. he did get some rather unimpressed looks from Sarah!

Hmm.. this post has been a particularly emotional one for me to write. I think this was the day I realised I loved Sarah, I loved all of her, every single bit. From the way she always drops herself in it, the way she challenged me to a sumo wrestle and got dump tackled (I missed that bit out to save her embarrassment...oops!). This is definitely made more apparent by the current situation. I LOVE YOU BABY! I know she will be reading this in about 5 mins, so I just thought I would put that out there! :)

So for this evening, this is Hayley: Signing off!

Ahhh - Results!

Hello Again!


 Well, today my girl got her results! She did really well, and I am so proud of her! So now, I must continue my story, and carry on with how we got together. Well, I last left our story at the point where we said we liked each other...the scary bit was over! Little did I know, I yet had to pass friend vetting! A lovely entertaining experience, than most teenagers will go through at some point!
 Friend vetting, for those of you who don't know, is the process where a close friend questions, (interrogates more like!) the potential boyfriend/girlfriend, to make sure that they are appropriate (good enough) for their friend.
 So, the next part of the story! The day after our online conversation, where we both stated our interest, we decided to meet. I was in Sarah's area, so I texted her informing her thus. (Get my Shakespeareian language!)
 This lead to myself and the friend I was with (Known as Lazer Beam) going for a little walk to Sarah's area where we met up. God, I swear, when she walked round the corner (that I had been watching for the last 20 mins, for the record!)  I nearly fainted. She left me breathless. People say attraction is the first step, but for me it was like a 5K run! WOW!
 As I was saying, Sarah appeared, and we make polite small talk, (which was actually quite awkward, seeing as Lazer Beam knew I was into Sarah in a BIG way, and as you can imagine, two is company, three's a crowd!)  She then mentioned that one of her friends wanted to meet me. As she lived just around the corner, I said sure. We headed over, and as soon as we arrived, Sarah's mate came out.


 Now here is the bit that I still can't mention or describe without laughing! As we were all talking, Sarah's friends Mum comes out. Turns out, Sarah hadn't been too discreet about who I was. Everyone knew! So, as she came outside, The Mum looks at Lazer Beam, and then myself, and shouts:


"So which one is it then?"


 I am not gonna lie, it was awkward as arse before she had come out, and that pretty much shattered the ice. Sarah went bright red, and me and Lazer Beam howled with laughter. Ironic as it may seem, Lazer had just started a new relationship, so the idea of them two together was hilarious to us! Clearly, Sarah has told everyone she knew about me, and actually I was rather flattered!


Now the ice was broken, after a few more questions, I passed friend vetting! WOO! Sarah's friend then told me 'You two had better be together before you reach the end of my road!" No pressure then! At this point, Lazer decided to give us some time alooone, and went home.


 So this leaves me and Sarah, walking down the road. Now I am not one for pressuring people. When it comes to being together, and all the couple things, like kissing, meeting each other's friends and that, I think everything happens in it's own time. I had no intention of making a move on Sarah, but I will admit, she read my mind. 


As we walked down the street, she stopped, looked me straight in the eye, and offered me her hand.


N'awwwwwwww! <3


 Walking down the street, hand in hand, we get to a little grassy area, and sit down. After more small talk I turn to look at Sarah, and catch her staring at me. I looked straight into her eyes, and said 'So..are you going to ask me then?' She looks back, and says 'Ask what?' 
Me: 'Ask me to go out with you?'
Sarah: 'Ohh.. I was waiting for you to ask!'
'Me: 'Well I am not asking, it's up to you!'
Sarah: 'Ok. Will you go out with me?'


 At this point, my heart started singing, I am not going to lie! I smiled and nodded. Now here is the sweet thing. We both lent forward, at the same time, and kissed. Our first kiss. So, the 15th of July 2011, the day we got together. The 15th of July, our first kiss. Cute eh?
 We spent the next 2 hours chilling, watching the traffic and talking. Then I had to get home, so she walked me to the bus stop (cause I am cool and use public transport!) And I went home. Sorted!


 So, now you know. That is how we got together! 


Now next week children, we have a very special story... I just need to think of what to post next! A surprise it is!

The Sunset of the New Day!

Hello again!


 I am back once more today, as I just finished the ironing, I am all excited about my new blog, so I thought I just had to do another post tonight! This one may well be a lil' shorter than the last, but nonetheless entertaining I hope! So this evening (morning technically), I shall tell you about when myself and Sarah got together, became an Item, started dating. You know, that THING! Mwahahahahaha!


 And just a quick note, I should warn you all, at times, I am rude, inappropriate and downright harsh at times, however, always in an ironic/slightly sarcastic. highly amusing way! You poor people are going to experience the full force of my sense of humor, through both my story and just things I find funny, so you may want to get prepared :D (Like a Boy Scout, you know, do all the badges and that, JUST IN CASE you get attacked by a knife-wielding madman and have rope and have a chance to tie him up using your special Scout knots...just saying!)


 So, how myself and Sarah got together! Well, again quite interesting, as when we met, neither of us thought the other was interested. YEAH RIGHT!After a couple of weeks and a quick Facebook stalk, I added her, and the online talks began! After a few days, I got to know Sarah pretty well, she was very honest, told me about bits and pieces that were quite personal to her, so I guess she trusted me pretty early on, Woo!
 Well, the talking lead to discussion, discussion to disclosure, disclosure to casual flirting, and then, on Thursday the 14th of July (I am a sad git who knows the date :D) I told her I was interested. I actually expected to be knocked back, at this point I thought she was straight, having been given no more GAYDAR hints, and a discussion about her ex. But there you go! Biting the bullet has its perks :D 
 As it happened, Sarah was having a bad day. She was telling me about it, and the conversation went like this:

• Hayley 

  • anywys, id miss ya if ya werent here
  • u wanna know a secret?
• 14 July

  Sarah 

  • would you? and ok??
• 14 July

  Hayley 

  • yeh i would, cos I remebered you the first night we met, and i said to alex at the induction that a) i reckoned u were into women, and b) I LIKED YOU lol
• 14 July

  Sarah 

  • haha wna no summert?

• Hayley 

  • mm?
• 14 July

  Sarah

  I went straight to my mates house after the induction evening woke her up just to say i had met you and that i liked you..
• 14 July

  Hayley 

  :)

  So, this was the start! The fact we liked each other was out there, and neither of us knew what to do about it! And this brings us on to Sarah's Mum! I wont go in to detail, as I need to go to Bed soon, but at the moment, she is not being very accepting of Sarah and Myself. She hasn't been from the start, along with several others from Sarah's family. Therefore, at this point, Sarah was a little worried about actually going out with me, due to her family's reaction, and I knew it!

  
  

   Sorry to leave ya hanging guys, but that is part of the fun of being a blogger! You shall all have to come back and read tomorrow!

A New Dawn, a New Day! :)

Welcome!
 Congratulations! If you are reading this, you are now officially in on my biggest secret! I am in love. 100%, full-blown, head of heels LOVE! 


 If you are still reading, clearly I have interested you in this little story! WOO! So here we go, I shall begin. I have a girlfriend. Her name is Sarah, and we have been together for around 6 weeks. However, today, i decided that I am going to ask her to Marry me. I know, 6 weeks eh? 


'Young love, doing it for the hell of it. At seventeen you cant KNOW what love is, it is a crush, not TRUE love! You are too young to know what THAT is!' (I have had this all said to me in the past 2 weeks) 


Well, I disagree.


 When I look at my girl, I feel breathless. Honest to God, yesterday I looked at her and nearly passed out, She was sleeping, bless her, and she is just beautiful. But it's not about how she looks on the outside. (Though she is absolutely Gorgeous!) I love what I see on the inside. She is talented (she doesn't know it yet, though I keep telling her). She is clever, so much it surprises me at times! She is funny, I mean some of the stuff she says has me literally crying with laughter. Then she feels guilty, oops! :D But the one thing, the thing I love MOST about Sarah, is her ATTITUDE: The way she deals with things everyday. Neither of us have had a great start in life, but it has't stopped us. Everyday, no matter what life throws at her, she smiles. She cares. What more could I ask for?


 So anyway, my Blog. 
I am writing this, so that one day, I can show her how much she means to me. I want to tell you all a story, the one of how we met, and how we fell in love. Also, as a little sideline, I would also like to show the people of the world that LOVE is everything. It doesn't matter, man and woman, man and man, or in this case two women, (But I like to think of us as Girls). Love is still Love. I am happy, I want to be with Sarah. and nothing will stop us. For all the homophobics out there, I hope this blog will be a vertical V-sign to those who think we are evil, corrupting children and the lowest of the low. We are still people, we have emotions, thoughts and feelings too!



 So anyways, today, I will tell you the start of our story, And as with all stories of love, I shall begin with the day we met!
 Myself and Sarah actually met at a local Youth group. So, the day we met was the introduction evening for the group, as all new members had to attend a little meeting to let us all know what we were letting ourselves in for! I went with one of my best friends, Alex, as he is in the Group too. The meeting was held in this lecture theater, with rows of seats, and me being me, all gangsta and that, sat at the bag, being all gangsta, as ya do! :D
 Two minutes later. Enter SARAH! I didn't actually KNOW she was called Sarah at this point, but still. She was with her Mum, (who I will get on to later), and she sat in the row in front of me. 


 Now, I know that many people don't believe in it, But i have a GAYDAR! Every gay has one, I think, and mine was sent spinning and whirring and all the other sound effects when I spotted my girlfriend-to-be. I liked her, simple as. Now here is the funny bit, we sat there all evening, and never spoke, except an identical laughing moment at key moment during the evening. As we left, I grabbed Alex, and pulled him away for a quick chat. I actually said to him, and I quote:


 ' Mate, you know that girl in the row in front of us? Two things. One, I reckon she is gay. Two, I wanna go out with her!'


So, there you have it, this was how we first met! We didn't know it yet, but we were going to end up together, and hopefully married when I pluck up the courage to ask her. Though I think she may have been dropping a hint when she said 'I would marry you Hayley, even if you proposed with a Haribo ring!' :)


 Now, it is time for me to go and do some ironing, because I need a shirt for tomorrow, when Sarah get's her Exam results! Tomorrow, I will tell you the next part of our story, and I hope that some of you return to read it!


 For the first time on my new blog,


  This is Hayley: Signing Off!
