My Big Fat Greek Wedding
(Babyface - Simple Days)

Congratulations to Arthur and Florence, the newlyweds. It was a great wedding even with all the weird stuff going on around it. During their ceremony and exchange of vows, we could hear through the walls next door, dishes breaking and Greek music. Apparently, there was a Greek wedding in the hall beside us and the walls were those ceiling mounted sliding partitions. Not very sound-proof. At one point during their vows, Florence laughed because of the music through the walls. Not exactly what they had planned but it definitely kept everyone awake during the ceremony. The ceremony itself wasn’t that long actually; about 30 minutes. Personally, I think that’s the way all ceremonies should be done – quick and efficient.

They say in order to get close to someone; you have to tell them something intimate about yourself. In return, they tell you something intimate. If you continue at it, hopefully you’ll wind up in love.

I’ll have to ask Sonia later, what it was that I said to her that made her open up to me.

I’m not normally very forthcoming with intimate details about myself. Most people would probably say the same. We all like to think we’re some sort of vault of secrets.

I’m reflective by nature, not expressive. Sometimes it’s great; other times it’s a crutch.

I just bought Douglas Coupland’s new book, Eleanor Rigby. Eleanor is a nice name but it reminds me a bit too much of the 70’s though. Rigby reminds me of a young white middle to upper class family that owns a cottage. So I’m guessing, this book is about the plight of being young and having too much free time on your hands; much like myself.
