I'm not a hummus and raw green pepper kind of girl. Let me explain.
I just finished living with someone for one year who was (or at least wanted to be, and thus pretended to be) the type of person that had friends over for "dinner" and they would eat hummus, sliced green pepper and expensive Brie. I guess that's fine for the Whole Foods set, but I was always marginally uncomfortable around these people. I felt like we had to compare Anthropologie findings and talk about the respective qualities of Pottery Barn vs. Pier One candlesticks. I should add, for the record, that living with this girl was a hugely miserable experience and contributed in very large part to one of the hardest years of my life.
Tonight..... I had my people over. We mixed Tequila Sunrises before we ordered pizza, and ate that and drank gin and tonics while we watched three episodes of LOST. No pretense, no bullshit about triple cream brie. Fun was had by all, and I think that tonight, we will all go to bed resting assured that we don't have giant sticks up our asses.
