An actual diary entry - with all the juicy bits cut out, of course.

April 20th, 2003

Anjali had her Bat Mitzvah yesterday, both the service and party! It was so fun! At the service, I got there just on time. Emilie called me “Feminicity” just because I was wearing a skirt. Kelly called me un-school-ish, and Nicole said that my ‘feminicity’ went through the roof. Hm. Then Anjali did her half-Torah and etcetera. Then the Rabbi (Coan, I think) did a really long speech about something – I wasn’t really paying attention because it took so long. After the service we had the Kiddush (?) where I had three cups of fake lemonade and 6 sugar cubes. Sugar high! I also had a taster of wine. It was so disgusting and waaay to sweet! I don’t know why Elinor liked it so much. Then everyone started leaving. Nicole, Emilie, Sarah, Kelly and I hung out outside the Temple and took pictures. After Nicole left, the rest of us did ‘Avril Lavigne’ poses – mainly, jumping around and singing while I took pictures. Then they all left and I wasn’t picked up until 1:30. Wah! when I got home I spent like, forever getting ready.

At a quarter to seven, Alessandra picked me up. We got there a bit late, but it didn’t really matter because we didn’t go upstairs until eight. It took so long. Everybody did something to entertain themselves. Katherine, Rachel, Eli, Kelly and I commented on which was the best classical composer, while saying ridiculous things like, “I’m a fan of Beethoven’s 33rd symphony, even though he only wrote 9”, and Mia hid from the camera. When we finally went into the dining / dance room, there was a band playing an India.Arie song. But they were so loud! My eardrums were bleeding. Only not. You had to go to the phone booths by the men's room to hear yourself think. Anyway, Eli had this bet that if she asked a guy for a dance she would get $7. But the guy asked her. Now I owe her 2 dollars.

I left Rachel to ‘Observe’ those two to go talk to Katherine and Alessandra by the phone booths. Rachel came running back telling us that she had to tell us something, but all she ended up doing was blithering about how Sarah was ruining Eli’s chances with Michael. We were all, “Who’s Michael?” and for the rest of the party Rachel made everyone stay far away from Sarah. All the adults seemed really tipsy (especially Anjali’s Mom…she was swaying from side to side a bit too much…). Nicole mixed the coke, diet coke, Pepsi, sprite and lemonade. Of course, this is the girl who will eat a bug…Katherine was actually acting a bit tipsy herself, because she actually said, “Let’s go over to the pay phones and call someone and say, ‘If you hang up, I’ll kill you!’” Like in Phone Booth. Alessandra and I thought that was pretty funny, but nobody had any change.

At the party, they gave away 1) sunglasses, 2) maracas, 3) disco ball earrings, 4) free fireman / sailor hats, and 5) free glow sticks. It was obviously a cheap affair. Stephanie had to leave at 9, so she missed most of the party! How dare she! The party had only begun!
