EARTHQUAKE!
A little teeny one. But still.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
EARTHQUAKE!
A little teeny one. But still.
IN SENSAROUND!
No earthquake here, but we are having major lake effect snow. It's still daylight, and you can't see a car coming on the road out front until you see the headlights. Total whiteout. The kids got let out early, thank god, because apparently we're getting between 3-5 inches an hour, and it's already been snowing like this for two hours.
We already had a good sixteen inches on the ground, too.

I need to drive up to CalArts and get some contract stuff done for the class I'm teaching this semester. Have I left the house yet? No. Am I motivated to leave the house? No.
Gah! I need to get this shit done.
Go forth and get shit! Done!
I mean, I don't LIKE small talk -- in a huge violent way -- but I *can* do it. I just vastly prefer not to. That doesn't make me an Aspie.
I guess I don't really know what is meant by "small talk". I like talking about things that other people might not think is important (say, what my boss did over the weekend) because I like hearing about people's lives.
I think small talk is talk that occurs not at all for the information shared, but for the social benefits of having conversation.
I don't think I would mind small talk if I were better at it. I should get a book or something. But if the other person is good at it, I'm fine. I can follow along merrily.
