I Use Antlers in All of My Decorating
September 05, 2003, 10:05 p.m. Had my party today. Lovely day for it, we had the perfect little “grassy knoll”, as one of my friends put it. Far, far, far too much food. Everyone brought something, and we all had to be rolled out at the end, a la Violet Beauregarde. “Well, at least we’re on a hill.” We had music too, which was fantastique. So much fun singing along in the park to all this great music. At one point, the batteries went flat, so Eledhwen’s ex-boy went off to get some more, and a friend of mine, who I’ll call the Singing Budgie, gave us an amazing rendition of All That Jazz from Chicago to tide us over. Elf-boy did turn up, at the last half. I don’t think he had that good a time. He didn’t talk much. But I think we might be okay. I don’t know, but I don’t think he hates me anymore. Or at least not so much. Heaven only knows if this means we’ll be friends – I’ll try to talk to him and maybe he’ll start coming to Monday evening coffee again. I worry that we may not even have enough in common for friendship, anymore. I felt a little shattered, shaky and sick after he turned up. I can’t tell if it was a reaction to him, or to all the sugar and food I’d been consuming.
