A Surreal Invitation
I was invited to a party. Really, really randomly. Except it appeared to be deliberate, in that the inviter seemed to come into the store with the express purpose of inviting me, since she didn't look for anything and just came in, said oh there you are, invited, and left. Well. And also mentioned that she didn't remember my name. Yeah. Weird huh? A friend of a neighbor is having a dual birthday/housewarming party. Moving in to a new place fairly close to me.
I'm trying to figure out whether it just means that this is a freakin' huge party and she invited everyone she could think to or if I made an impression at Linda's party (even though my name didn't). Anyway, I don't go to things without food, and there's no time to make a cake, so I'm whipping up some apple dip and slicing up some apples. I'll go for a bit, and if I fail to enjoy myself, I'll leave.
The party-giver is Stacy (I didn't remember her name either--in fact I didn't know I knew her outside the store, although upon her mentioning Linda, I vaguely remember meeting her at Linda's birthday party. Maybe.) I met her at Linda's birthday party last summer. For which I made a rather wonderful cake. Sort of. You could argue that I made the cake then heard about the party and said hey, party. Why not take a cake? So I might have been invited for my foodcraft. I just dunno. Anyway, as I was saying. She's Stacy. I'm not sure whether she's transgendered or a drag queen, but she seems very pleasant and it would probably do me good to do something social that doesn't include computer monitor.s It's just all very odd.
Anyway, she said it was starting either at 6 or 7, I can't remember which, so I figure I'll go around 7. Which means I really shouldn't lie down for a nap right now, even though I want to, because my naps usually last about ten to twelve hours. Instead, I need to drink some juice and seltzer, mix up apple dip, and slice fruit. And yet... nap...?
