George Saunders is Funny
I had done such a dumb-shit thing to her, all the time thinking it was sound reasoning, because isn't that how it is with our heads, when we are in them it always makes sense, but then later, when you look back, we sometimes are like, I am acting like a total dumbass!
Then Brad came up and was like, Dude, time to hook in.
And I was like, Please Brad, do not bother me with that shit at this time.

What? No one can relate to this?
Maybe. I tend to turn into a nerd vs. a jerk. For instance, "She's a nurse" at your reading. Now, does that make any sense to poor Geoff? No. Did it make any sense to you? Probably not. I barely understood myself (Sigh.)
Then, I went around telling people that I was a nerd.
P.S. How was your birthday?
Don't worry, I understood the nurse quip and explained it to Geoff, so it's all good.
Birthday was good. Pics and video clip on shorty grrrl's blog.
From what I gathered, it looked like everyone kept stealing your drinks. It really doesn't pay to be the birthday boy, huh?
