Des, Alice and I went to watch Sex and the City tonight. I loved it very much and still feel all twirly inside. I wanted to squeeze someone’s hand when I saw the pretty dresses, but the person sitting next to me was Alice and she doesn’t like to be touched. Alice was also sitting next to Des, who started crying during the opening credits. At mushy moments throughout film, Des would touch Alice’s cheeks to see if she was crying and when she discovered she wasn’t, she’d whisper, “Do you not have emotions?! ” Alice would utter things like “ew, gag” at any mention of love, following your heart or The One. I tried shushing her, telling her she’s ruining the moment, but she’d just start giggling. And then I’d giggle, too.

I’m going to miss Alice a lot. Did you know she’s moving to New York in less than a month? I’ve been in denial for a really long time, but seeing SATC made it seem real. OK, this can’t be my Goodbye Alice post. I guess it’s more like my Step One: Realization post. Sigh. Sadness.
