So I went drinking with Mary, Mary Anne and Karen again on friday nite at Maki Maki but gasp I just wasn’t in the mood to eat since I had just eaten at Mitsui at the sushi bar the night before. So I just drank apple martinis all night. This time I didn’t drive. I’ve just been feeling too guilty so Al said he would pick me up later. But it turned out I didn’t have to because Karen’s friend joined us much later and she lives in Shady Canyon (super rich area) which is right by where I live so I got a lift from her. Too bad I couldn’t remember her name – I’m really bad with Indian names. She seemed pretty cool – she’s actually originally from Westchester but she came to California more than 7 years ago. Anyway I always have a ton of fun with those girls. They’re so funny.

So Mary has always been part of this closed book club and so I was sort of whining to her about this other new book club some friends and I just created. They picked a couple of nonfiction books in a row and I’m not crazy about reading nonfiction books in my spare time. This month our book selection is Nickel and Dimed: On Not getting by in America. And next month they wanted to do The World is Flat. Needless to say I emailed everyone and was like can we at least put a fiction book in between. I really want to read something that I can enjoy and relax. I’m not really into reading about the awful state of the world or educating myself on world affairs. I sound so trashy I know but my time is limited. Anyway they delayed “The World is Flat” till later for me.

Anyway my point was Mary said that their club was getting a bit stale so their group thought about opening their club to a couple of other members and she wanted to propose me to their group. She thought I would fit right in.
Although I’d love to, I was like can I conceivably read two books a month O.o;;;; I told her to propose away, I may not get approved anyway. I know mostly everyone in that group and there’s a couple of women in it that I don’t exactly “click” with so maybe it’s a moot point anyway. I don’t know if I would really fit in either. They’re all so loud and such wisecrackers. I think I’d fade into quiet mouse amongst them and I so do not do that role well at all. But I do like her so I’m willing to give her benefit of the doubt about how well I would fit in. Time will tell. I also told her it would depend on which nights they meet. We’ll see how it all plays out.
