La Misanthrope

Bleh. I'm getting ready to head out for the dinner party I' ve been dreading all week. And all because I couldn't think of a plausible excuse when I was invited. And "Good fucking god, no. You two bore me silly." just seemed, um, less than elegant as refusals go.

Also? I'm probably going to have to eat meat because I haven't told them I'm a vegetarian, quite deliberately really, because it's amazing how so many people seem to hear that announcement as a call to arms. And it's not that I can't defend my choices quite adequately, thank you very much, it's just that I've had that particular conversation so many times I find it almost as tedious as I do my prospective hosts.

And god, if their friends are as pompous as they are I might have to surgically remove my ears with the butter knife.

At least they buy good wine.
