The Friday 56|#43 Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?

 

Book: Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? by Mindy Kaling.

Synopsis: In Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?, Mindy invites readers on a tour of her life and her unscientific observations on romance, friendship, and Hollywood, with several conveniently placed stopping points for you to run errands and make phone calls. Mindy Kaling really is just a Girl Next Door—not so much literally anywhere in the continental United States, but definitely if you live in India or Sri Lanka.

The Rules:

1. Grab a book, any book.
2. Turn to page 56 or 56% in you E-Reader. (If you have to improvise, that’s okay.)
3. Find any sentence, (or few, just don’t spoil it)
4. Post it.
5. Add your URL post below in the Linky. (Add the post URL, not your blog URL.)

The 56:

I bought brown tights, a sleeveless pink leotard, and a white iridescent skirt that wrapped around my waist and was fastened with Velcro. I capped off the entire look with some traditional pink ballet slippers. In the communal mirror of the dressing room of that surplus store, a young Asian girl trying on ballet clothes with her mom said, “Mommy, you should dress like that,” referring to me. The mom hushed her in an Asian language. This sealed the deal. I had never felt more graceful in my life.

At the audition I looked like a fucking idiot.
