les amis as things that were said & done at a garden party last night

enjolras: “yeah i joined the far-left party ages ago but have recently begun to wonder if a better way of effecting political change would have been to join the conservative catholic party and shoot their president”
combeferre: detailed the history of clip-lock bottles before an entranced audience for several minutes, then politely excused himself to film a hedgehog eating cat food on the porch
jehan: became teary-eyed talking about how it’s the worst time to be a bee since the beginning of bee history
feuilly: started quietly singing ‘bella ciao’ in the middle of a conversation on luxury hotels
courfeyrac: brought 3 bottles of wine to a catered party
bahorel: showed up in 34°C weather dressed to the nines in black linen pants, an ethically produced ‘fuck the government’ shirt & sporting 3 new tattoos he’d told no one about
bossuet: “so basically i had to quit the job on the cruise ship and i’m homeless now but it was all for the best”
joly: brought a stack of homemade wholemeal-flour pancakes to a catered party
grantaire: (swirling a spritzer) “god i’m so fucking depressed now. can we go back to talking about sprinkles”
bonus marius: went upstairs to use the bathroom, then couldn’t come back down bc he was too scared to walk past the hornets’ nest on the balcony, had to be rescued by another friend who led him downstairs by his hand, had to breathe deeply for five minutes to calm down, then looked at the host & said, with a tortured expression, “cute flat though”

Some big moods from today

-my mom before Moulin Rouge started, watching some scantily clad actors walking around the stage seducing each other: “it’s hard to think about this happening around the same time as Spring Awakening”

-every single pigeon I saw

-the usher I heard saying “Aaron Tveit is… the personification of sex”

-my mom at intermission yawning then making eye contact with an usher and saying “I’m not bored!!”

-me being super on brand and coming out of the show with an unexpected polyamorous ship

-the person standing next to us at stage door who had tickets for both of today’s shows and was already talking about wanting to see it when it goes to Broadway

-the person in front of me who told Aaron Tveit “Enjolras is my favorite ever” (and his response: “oh! uh, thanks!”)

-my hair being a complete mess when I met Aaron Tveit
