Title: My oldest friend
Post by: Padma on May 01, 2011, 12:28:23 PM
I saw my oldest friend last week, for the first time in a long while - I'd been determined to tell him what's going on in my life, since I've outed myself to a lot of other people. So we were out on his veranda, and before I got to drop my bombshell, he dropped one by asking me to be ungodlyfather* to his younger son (I'm already ungodlyfather to his eldest).

So I thanked him, said I'd be delighted, and said: but I have something to tell you... and then told him that at some point, I was going to end up their ungodlymother instead ;D. He took it well :).

*I would be their godfather/mother, but it turned out that as an ordained Buddhist I wasn't allowed to attend his eldest's christening (long and weird churchy story), so we decided I was his ungodlyfather instead, and that my role is to subvert his religious upbringing 8)... and now I have two minions, mwahahahah etc.

Wow... talk about timing!  :laugh:

I actually had something similar happen to me.  I came out to one of my oldest friends (2nd-oldest, to be exact) two months back.  Three weeks ago, his girlfriend let slip that, before I came out, I had already been inked in as the best man for their wedding.  Oops...  :icon_redface:  But now I get to be a bridesmaid!

Congraduations Padma. It's good to hear that he took it well. Hearing stories like this are very heartwarming.

Congradulations to you too JungianZoe. Wow a bridesmaid, I'm sure that you're going to look lovely. I hope you show us photos.

Now I want a ungodlyparent too.

"You are all my ungodlychildren..." (said in creaky Transylvanian voice...) :D
