JOURNAL ENTRY
** BEYOND THE VELVET ROPE **
I have a confession to make: I like to shake my groove thing, shake my groove thing, yeah yeah. Unfortunately the venues suited to this behavior are packed with bright-eyed 19 yr-old hardbodies (kryptonite to a thirtysomething couch potato like myself). I am a grown up, which means I no longer have the energy to indiscriminately guzzle down mixed drinks all night, every night. I do not engage in flirty banter with a doorman in order to gain access into the latest nightspot. I am civilized. I am sophisticated. I belong to a book club.
I have replaced the 'Cabbage Patch' with heated discussions about Fielding, as well as Faulkner, and I have drunk enough wine in the process to support a small village in the Rhone Valley. It is said that one's perception is shaped by one's interests (actually, I just made that up) so it came as a welcome surprise that as soon as I joined a book club I started noticing that most of my girlfriends belong to book clubs too. Being the theorizer that I am, I hurriedly jumped the conclusion that this book club thing is a new trend. I shared this brilliance with a friend who laughed in my face and accused me of constantly turning whatever I'm involved in into the next trend (case in point: guess what color eyeshadow I'm wearing today?).
Please, please help me prove him wrong and let me know if YOU or anyone you know is in a book club. Like most people, I love to gloat. I have a special 'I told you' so dance that I'm working on.
