Why Is It ...

… that people always tell me to “just be myself” and forget that I have already tried that and traumatized everybody.

… that people have yet to learn that I want to be invited so I can say No.

… that I often wonder what the part of my brain that used to memorize telephone numbers is doing now.

… that no one understands that I have an on again off again relationship with reality

… that when you tap a video online you can see how much longer it plays but you can’t do the same to people.

… that I like to surround myself with people who have extensive vocabularies but still choose to say ‘fuck’ a lot.

… that people don’t see that I am so fine that I stay in the house all day because I am like a collector’s item.

… that the key to looking amazing is looking like crap most of the time so looking good is more of a surprise.

… that if I am giving you any attention, you should feel blessed since my real passion is ignoring people.

… that most people don’t realize that getting old means you prefer day drinking to staying out all night.

  1. You evidently didn't get the memo to shift from telephone numbers to email addresses.

    1. It would be so much nicer than saying "STOP TALKING!!!"

  3. No idea where the brain function to memorize telephone numbers went either. Unlike Dave R, I can't recall email addresses either.
    If anyone invents a button to display how long someone will keep talking, I'll be one of the first to sign up.

    1. Just pretend your phone rang, say "I gotta take this" and walk off.

  8. “… that the key to looking amazing is looking like crap most of the time so looking good is more of a surprise.” I was told today I look amazing. It works!

  9. When you find out where all the brain cells that used to track phone numbers are, let me know. I think that the username/passwords/log in cells may be nearby. Possibly these are all also at the black hole at the end of the universe where all the lost socks go.
