This is Love | Feb 06 2002

Heather and Jon in Zion

Yesterday at 3:02 pm PST, Heather proposed to Jon in the comments section of an unrelated post on his website, adding parenthetically that she was “on her proverbial knees.” At 3:04 Jon responded with a big “Yes!”

I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking, Come on.

Well, come on yourself. At 4:53, in response to some disbelieving gibberish written by yours truly, Heather confirmed that she meant it, and then at 5:03, Jon wrote simply, “This is love. And yeah, we’re serious.”

According to Heather, and I have no reason to doubt her, her mom is going to “totally poop her pants.”

Well, no kidding: I almost totally pooped mine and I’ve never even met these two.

From This is Love by PJ Harvey:

I can’t believe
that the axis turns
on suffering
while my head it burns
