The Slideshow of Love (Jeng's Real Version)

So yes, I know my previous rendition was pretty stupid. I think the imagery of her flying through the air amuses me more than what really transpired. To say Eileen was stubborn and I was persistent is an understatement. I’ve never been good (or perhaps even comfortable) at telling our story because of its checkered past but this is what it’s always boiled down to:

• Two of our best friends introduced us in our younger years.


• I started out interested. She did not share this interest. Instead, she wanted friendship.


• She moved off to fancy-pants New York but still for some reason kept me as a friend.


• I made a couple of valiant efforts at various points in time but she was -- for lack of a better word -- a dog of the female variety. But she still kept me as a friend.


• I despised her for awhile then she moved back and for some reason she still kept me as a friend.


• Then she finally expressed the feelings she forced herself to suppress all these years; that she kept me as a friend because she was madly in love with me and not really a lesbian as I was starting to suspect.


• Craziness ensued.


• I proposed.


• We’re now planning our wedding.

This concludes our presentation.
