Sticky Weekend
Friday night I had two parties. One was a bbq at Rachel and Matt's house, and one was a Harry Potter party at the bookstore.
I was not looking forward to the bbq, since the only people who were going to be there are the 3 bridesmaids who are curently being a pain in the ass. And they did not disappoint. Not only was I virtually ignored, but I walked in on 4 people talking about me. At a party! Come on, are we 12? Granted, I didn't hear what they said, but as soon as I walked in the room Matt goes, "Hi! Sophie!" and they all stopped talking.
Luckily I had a good excuse to leave early. But this morning I had an email from Rachel complaining about my food contributions! Sweet Jesus. I think I just need a break, since I'm going to be spending a lot of time with these people in the coming months.
The Harry Potter party, on the other hand, was great. I got my palm read, my tarot cards read, and worked the register for a few hours. Sarah paid me in a Harry Potter, which was great. Unfortunately, my future apparently sucks. I have to watch out for a shocking incident with a car, and something shitty is going to happen to me at 45. Great.
While I don't love the Harry Potter books (I much prefer Susan Cooper), I do think that the phenomenon is a good thing. My favorite part of the party was when the staff brought out the boxes right before midnight and the whole crowd cheered. It was like "Yeah! Books!" You rarely hear people screaming about reading, and that was pretty cool. I also was reading on the subway on the way to Grand Central, and had people smiling at me, asking me if it was good, and just generally communicating. I love that you know everyone's doing the same thing all around the world. Like when I go to a concert, I love turning around and watching the whole crowd dancing to the same music. Sounds cheesy, but it's kind of cool.
I spent the rest of the weekend up in Bedford, which was relaxing since all I did was sit on the couch and read. And watched Queer Eye and Coach Carter.
Dinner with the Taylors last night was fun, and Monica's insane weight loss is kind of inspiring. Tessa and I played with Annie and Isabel, and it was so much fun to have little girls just adore you.
