Good to be prepared!

Here is how the night actually went. A good amount of people showed up. There was no formal ‘program’ or ‘introductions’ so we all sorta grouped off to cook supper for ourselves and families. I ended up hanging out with people I already do anyway.

Then all the parents went home to put their kids to bed, and suddenly there was like a dozen people left including me. Most of them were classmates I didn’t really know well, so we gathered around a fire and people started telling really interesting stories about their high school shenanigans. As a cloistered computer nerd I had no idea about…a lot of what went on.

Ultimately I don’t remember anyone making a big deal out of my single status. I was really anxious to go, but it was okay in the end. [January 5, 2017]

More of these comics than you realize OR that I’ll admit are actually quite honest. I just cloak it in a veil of humour, like so many. To remove the cloak would, I think, largely go against the general tone of things around here and be quite jarring. (Not that I’m against doing it on rare occasions anyway). Also, sometimes “being honest” just means that I want to rant about certain people in particular and there’s always the danger that they’ll read it afterward and be upset.

Anyway that’s why Honesty Week will probably never happen. [September 4, 2013]
