Pref Night “The Long and Winding Road That Leads to Your Chapter”
Sorry it took me so long to update; I was really tired when I got in last night and needed some Golden Slumbers to fend off my cold. Last night I met with Penny Lane at Abbey Road Studios to pick up my Pref invites; inside my envelope there were two slips of paper; they read:
Lennon
Starr
I wasn’t shocked to find that McCartney had cut me, but it hurt a little that I wasn’t invited back to Harrison. I decided not to dwell on the houses that cut me and concentrate on the two I still had. After all, Lennon was my number one choice and I looking forward to visiting Starr again.
Lennon: I was met at the door by Julia, my twin from yesterday. We sat down and talked while enjoying a slice of Wild Honey Pie, which was delicious. During dessert several girls I’ve met in the past couple weeks, including Yoko, the President of Lennon, stopped by to say hi. Afterwards Yoko and a couple other sisters gave speeches about what Lennon means to them and we all took part in a small ceremony. I was so moved, I thought I was going to cry, but at the same time I was too happy and excited to cry. Is that normal for Pref?
Starr: The Starr sisters surrounded us at the door and gave us each a little star necklace to wear. Here we feasted on Savoy Truffle (a recipe borrowed from the Harrisons) and I spoke to Barbara, whom I had met during the First Round. After dessert, we were taken into the living room where the Starrs were singing in a circle. The PNMs joined the circle and the Starrs gave speeches and performed a short ceremony. I like this house and the people in it, but I just don’t feel as strong of a connection at Starr as I do at Lennon.
Back at Abbey Road,we had to rank the houses. We were told that we could only rank the houses if we had attended their Pref party and to only write down the house if we were willing to accept their bid. I took my paper and wrote:
1.Lennon
2. Starr
At this point, I'm kind of glad that Harrison cut me. If I had gone to Harrison and Lennon, I’d probably still be trying to make up my mind. Well, Bid Day is tomorrow. We're supposed to meet in Candlestick Park in the afternoon. I’ll update as soon as I get back. Thank you all for being so patient!
