The Umpteenth Journal Attempt

Getting Older 

Last night went alright, went to the wedding and birthday party without any mishaps. One thing, though: it's pointless to keep a tight schedule when it comes to weddings (namely arriving when the invitation tells you to, and then leaving for the next engagement, if any), because these things never go on time. So there we were, arriving on time but ending up waiting around 45 minutes for the bride and bridegroom entourage to make their (very slow, Javanese) way to the stage. Seeing that, it made me not want to get married the Javanese way: torture on practically everyone involved. But it's a supposed to be a once in a lifetime thing, so I guess one day of physical and mental torment to mark the happiest day of your life won't hurt. Much.

And then it was on to the birthday party. Turns out it was a sweet seventeen party for my friend's (who's 22) friend at the dance studio. When I first learned this I instantly had that sensation of feeling very old, but fortunately we weren't the only ones in advanced age there. Brought back memories of high school, where there was a birthday party every other weekend. Of course, this was before the crisis. So I guess it's both endearing and terrifying to see people can still afford big birthday bashes for their kiddies nowadays.
