On Monday evening my friend Elizabeth and I watched Sense and Sensibility. It was a very enjoyable experience because my friend, who is some what of a Jane Austen enthusiast, gave some very interesting commentary on the social blunders of various characters. I think she should write a book on Social Etiquette according to Jane Austen. I would be the first in line to purchase this book. It seems that I have an affinity for social faux pas...two within the past two hours, in fact!1) I arrived late to a birthday dinner. This is completely different than a party. Dinners are meant to start on time. Five minutes, ok....twenty minutes late, BAD!
2) I brought a gift, even though the invitation clearly said, "NO GIFTS." (I didn't actually read it that closely).
Dear Jane Austen, please give me some insight into the mystery of proper social decorum!
