Need a Hand?
Your Next Project Starts with Brownstoner
This little dinner party I had included four people who are very good people, smart, accomplished and dear to me.
However, all of them were “agressively social” to use Lech’s expression — at my house. Two had never met the other two. They were so hyperactively informative to one another (sort of bragging) that I did not get a word in edgewise the whole night. Only once when my cousin interrupted everyone to tell them to STOP TALKING so I could insert my opinion about something to do with Wall Street did I talk. It was ok, but in those situations, I just listen.
“I’m basically the only person I am myself around.”
So you’re really an autosexual pretending to be hetero.
Slopey – I thaw things in the oven (no pilot light). Sometimes in the microwave.
So basically cobble bragged about how she gobbled a fruit for lunch and DIBS immediately got interested.
CH: will you chill BH’s pear for him. I love a ripe, chilled pear. Especially d’anjou.
“I can’t wait to give BH his pear when he gets home this evening—he’s really going to enjoy it.”
Raunch hour really doesn’t start before 4:00, Cobble. You of all people should know better.
lech – Do you have GFI in baths & kitchen? That’s a nice project & you like playing w/ power…
“You sound like Dexter, constantly trying to seem “normal” and “fit in”.”
It usually takes a lot of effort for me to socialize with people, although paradoxically I tend to be very aggressively social. But it’s always forced, never natural. I’m basically the only person I am myself around.

I met a very bizarre japanese guy when I went out to run some errands.
In what way? Maybe he works here. (No April’s fool)
