I mean, it’s a nice idea but, the last time that we did a party with many different types of friends was when we did the ‘Leaving for Italy’ party. That was a very special event as we did not know how often, if at all, we would see these friends again. And, in fact, we have not seen most of you since we left for Italy. This may have something to do with the fact that we rarely come back to the UK.
But, Friday night, as it gets close, is preying on my mind a bit. After all, these are people that, whilst singly, we are delighted to see them, together, well, will they get on?
And what purpose could it possibly serve? V decided on this party and asked if I would, please, be there. Dressed in white. There were to be a lot of our friends. But, when pressed for the people going, there was a slight reluctance to disclose and, when disclosed, the mix did not seem quite right.
So. The purpose? I really don’t know. It could be perfectly innocent but my mind is already searching for the possible ulterior motive. I can’t quite get it out of my head that the party is not so much a party as a disclosure or something. And, as I don’t know what is being disclosed, I feel slightly uncomfortable.
Our FfI is helping with the food. I wish I knew why it was taking place.
The trouble is that, if it is something that is too uncomfortable, it will make me what to run, literally, out of the room; out of the flat. I hope it is not something that will make me feel like that, if it is something like that to begin with.
Hi Andy-
Oh my – your fears/concerns are so unsettling to read and feel. I can’t imagine that ‘V’ would do anything to surprise you in a way that was hurtful. Right? Well, I will be SO anxious to know what the surprise is, not as anxious as you but anxious all the same.
And, I think any excuse to wear ‘all-white’ is worth it!
I know you will look delicious.
Love Gail
peace…..
Well, I’m sure V wouldn’t do anything to be intentionally hurtful. However, this may just be in my head and nothing to do with reality. It just seems a bit odd and for no obvious purpose. If he had said something like – well, it may be the last time that we’ll be able to entertain all these people at one time, together – that’s a reason that I would understand. As it is – no reason makes me suspicious.
Yes, all-white should be good. Thanks
Why “dressed in white”?
I am just curious
I love that! I could plan a “white” party.
May I say something? You are now prepared to the worst situation. If not, my suggestion is to think to the very worst thing that can happen or that you would avoid completely. Once you are prepared to that, you are ok.
It is really hard, because you have to force yourself to think to the only thing you want to forget.
If it happen (I hope for you this is not the case), at least you are a little preprared. It will hurt, but less than a surprise.
If nothing as the “bad” happens, you can appreciate the joy to have skip that and you can take the rest as “good”, even if that is not really “good”.
Anyway, you will not have a good sleep tonight, but you could be ready tomorrow.
I’ve done this on my own. It helps.
@Bianca – it’s a V thing. He’s always wanted a party where, say, everyone dresses in black and then he wears white. I don’t really know why. In this case everyone has to wear white.
@Pietro – of course you may say something. I hear what you say. I really don’t know if anything will happen. It’s just because I don’t know of any reason to hold it and the reason I had originally thought of is not the reason (I can tell by the guest list). So now, I have no idea. We shall see – it’s only tomorrow night!
