AHAHA YES.

Civil Union Bill passed in New Hampshire

The recent civil union bill was passed through the state Senate yesterday, and starting in January of '08, civil unions for same-sex couples will become legal in New Hampshire. BOOYAH. TAKE THAT. *dances and throws confetti* Not in time for our wedding, but we'll only have to wait three months until we can have legal partnership rights! Words cannot express my elation.

Onto other, more mundane subjects:

Hey, local peoples who offered to help us move furniture and boxes tomorrow (Saturday), could you comment here and say what time you'll be able to come? I'll probably get to ask most of you personally at Gaming tonight, but just in case. The people who I think said were coming are templarwolf, amythest_cat, jongleur_gerard, hak42, tam_elbrun, and minyan.

Thanks, guys :)

YAY! That's awesome! And good luck with the move :)

[elaby.livejournal.com]

Thanks ^_^ I'm really excited!

Well, that's certainly good news. So, are you going to wait and do it here, or drive over to VT like I thought I'd heard mentioned?

As for moving, I won't be able to help until later. I'm working until 5:30, but I can probably be there by 6 or so.

[elaby.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's awesome :) I think we'll probably wait and do it here, since a VT civil union wouldn't have been legal in NH anyway (as far as I know).

Okay! Whenever you can come is great. We can figure out the details at Gaming.

Actually, this didn't get publicized until recently I think, but part of the NH bill is recognition of civil unions performed in other states.

Ooh, that's great!

I could probably help after 6pm if there is anything left to do, but I'm working at the comic shop before then.

[elaby.livejournal.com]

Okay :) How about we call you and let you know on Saturday if there's anything left to do? That is, if we don't see you at Gaming tonight.

[merrick42.livejournal.com]

Sure thing. I still won't be at gaming, but definitely give me a call.

[elaby.livejournal.com]

Okay :) Will do.

WAHOOOO!

[minyan.livejournal.com]

YEEEEEEHAAAAAAAA!
*pours you raspberry champagne and toasts you*

That's so awesome.

I'm around any time tomorrow. I'll be hanging out with to monks in Toledo, looking for a plot, and happy to be distracted any time. :-)

*is responding for Elaby*

Yay! Thanks!

And we'll give you a call tomorrow with times and stuffs :)

[x-pyewacket-x.livejournal.com]

:D Hooray for NH! That's fan-f*cking-tastic news! I'm so happy for you two!

[elaby.livejournal.com]

It SO is! Thank you ^_____^

[jiatra.livejournal.com]

Amazing news! *dances*

[elaby.livejournal.com]

*dances too* It really is!

Personally, I think "Fan-damn-tastic" has a nicer ring to it, but woohoo! All the same. Grat to you both, and everyone else out there.. still going to pout a bit and be all jealous of all you people who manage to wade through all the balogna and find each other. That is so cool.

So far as moving, I am actually also free at any time during the day, evning, night.. w/e. I shall be hanging with The Phenix King, editing, although there is a plot readily available there, and maybe making surrealist messes with paint, but I can do that any time. The gears, bees, turtles et al can wait.

[elaby.livejournal.com]

I feel very lucky to have waded through the bologna :) Thanks for the congrats and the moving help!

[coastal-spirit.livejournal.com]

This is fantastic news! Now Maine needs to stop lagging behind MA, VT and NH and get on the stick.

[elaby.livejournal.com]

It's really great :) I'm VERY surprised that New Hampshire did it first. Maine always seemed a lot more liberal.

[kniblet.livejournal.com]

I meant to comment on this earlier, but it got away from me. Brilliant news!

[elaby.livejournal.com]

Hee, thanks!
