I heart this conversation, nodding and pointing, though I realize pointing is socially frowned upon. I think the art of conversation is listening well enough to discover someone's hobby or thing they are engaged in, and asking a key question or two. Then all you need do is smile and nod, and maybe offer the canape tray with interogatorily raised eyebrows.

Spike's Bitches 48: I Say, We Go Out There, and Kick a Little Demon Ass.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Another thing I'm getting over is not thinking "My friend wants to have lunch Friday. There goes Friday for doing anything productive." It's lunch. Two hours tops. One lunch isn't sufficient to set off such shockwaves that I can't do other useful things in the day.
I feel like such a grown up when I manage multiple errands in the wide world in a day.
Edit: I feel like we should gather this conversation and release it with the title "Practical Introversion: How to Face the World Without Being Outed as Weird."

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I'd seen the first one and kind of want it, but I LOVE "Hi. I'm awkward." I need 7 of those, so I can just wear them every day.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Can you appeal and say "Spike's Bitches" is about dog breeding?
