I endured a family dinner. My brother brought a friend; a groupie that grew up in Topanga. Typical california girl, but I couldn't dislike her. She was beautiful and happy and bursting through the seams with life force. I went in the bathroom and cried.
Not that I want to have seen The Rolling Stones 18 times. But it seems like you have to be from another planet to be that happy. Either that or have very rich parents, or be very physically beautiful--which she is--which may afford someone an entirely different kind of life.
And I actually felt ok about myself when I left the house, after I'd changed my clothes five times and checked in the mirror another 15. But sitting through dinner all I could feel like was a psychiatric patient.
