I just found out that a younger relative of mine has gotten engaged and I'm feeling sort of odd, like I'm stuck in a time warp. Or I've been thrown into a parallel universe. See, I'm not a particularly nosy person. Quite the opposite. I never really ask how anyone else is doing because I'm too busy trying to get to the next day without going mad from stress. So when I find out something significant has happened to someone, I feel a bit surprised. Not that anyone bothers to inform me of things anyway.
Hm. Now I'm thinking about weddings. Particularly how I'm never invited to one, whether it's supposed friends or relatives. I don't blame them. I mean, who wants a loner who is forgettable, non-photogenic, quiet, and conversationally uninteresting at their party?
