lectrix_lectiOf course, the reason why the hordes were doing their best to disrupt my sleep last night, was that they were celebrating St. John's Day. The only bloody saint's day Norwegians celebrate, although I wonder if anyone in this non-catholic country even knows it's a religious festival.
I had completely forgotten. I just don't register things like that, when everybody gathers to do something that doesn't interest me at all. I usually manage to remember New Year's Eve, but Constitution Day always comes as a surprise. I hate the collective let's get drunk and aren't we having fun days.
In fact, I'm not much in favour of any kind of planned gathering.
If a friend calls and we have a drink and more friends show up and the whole thing develops into a binge, fine. In these cases I only stay as long as I have fun, and that may easily be until closing time and then some, but at planned gatherings/dinners/parties etc. I have to sit around pretending to enjoy myself even if I'm not, calculating when is the earliest point I can leave without pissing off my man or the hosts. I very, very rarely have fun at such events, I just get tired and annoyed because I'm wasting my time.
Oh, this is going to be a wonderful day, I can tell.
