T-1: The leaving party in quotes
Me, arriving at the venue: Hello! I’m here for my party!
Random guest: Are you excited about the move?
Me: Oh yes. How could I not be?
Mike (in his leaving card): “You’re invited to the wedding next year. You would be the best man but you have so much to live for and Ben has nothing.”
John: What can I get you to drink?
Me: Well, I’ve already got one and…
John: Come on. This is the last chance to get a free drink out of me.
Me: Double vodka and coke, please.
Me [earlier that day]: James, you can take your suit on as hand luggage and that gives us more room in the case.
James: Oh, so I have to mess around with my suit as hand luggage but we have room for (rummages through suitcase) …rubber ducks.
Katie [at the party]: I bought you this. (Produces blue, starry rubber duck). It’s Australian!
Me: I love it!
James: You’re an idiot.
Random guest: Are you excited about the move?
Me: Well, excited is too strong a word. I’m looking forward to it, but I don’t think anyone could live in a permanent state of excitement.
Sarah: Come on Sveny! We’re doing shots! Let’s show them how it’s done! Light it in your mouth! Yeah!!
Elsa: I am going to miss you most of all, scarecrow.
Kandise: …and we we’re on that stage hoochy, giving it everything when Britney came on.
Claire: People actually stopped dancing to watch.
Me: I am so jealous.
Claire: But at least we know we can gay club without you, now.
Me: I have taught you well. If you love someone, you must let them go.
Lorraine: You’re just a big, gangly mess.
Random guest: Are you excited about the move?
Me: How could anyone be excited about leaving all these people?
Card from Monkey: You have been there on my best days and worst days, and we’ve come through it all through the medium of dance.
Oh great. I’m crying again.
