nuances of conversation
or how to read too much into everything
or how i am betrayed by my very own knowledge of the english language
or i guess why email is not good for communicating with your ex especially if you’re not sure what the hell is going on
alternate title: or, look i’m a blogger and i would like to whine about my personal life to the Internet
i don’t have anything to say other than i like the idea of texts with four or five alternate titles that basically tell the whole story, such that the story itself need not have content. or even exist for that matter.
suffice to say that i am looking forward to my birthday party this weekend with some trepidation. despite the fact that i seem like an outgoing person, when hosting i really do prefer to hide behind the barbeque and just cook the grillables and drink my beer and talk with the few folks who stop by where i’m standing to say hi. the fact that i’m already planning this out in advance is a new thing for me, but at least i’m being honest about it.

I highly recommend throwing your own birthday party. If Social Awkwardness occurs (and for me, that starts with “mingling” and rises exponentially) you can always go refill the punch bowl. Or, you know, grill.
