I dislike dancing intensely on most days, now. This has not a little to do with the fact that I have been made very aware that there are not that many people around here better than me anymore, and also that I am not really very good at all when put up against the national scale. Being one of the bigger fish in what amounts to a rain puddle is no fucking fun. I don't doubt that's what you're falling into. Small scenes are not that great after you've learned to triple step consistently.
That sounded awful, I realize. I'm not trying to brag at all; in fact I'm trying to do the opposite, if anything. I suck and my attitude is worse and I know it. There is something to be said for those who can just go dancing and have fun and not worry about their skill level or anyone else's. Unfortunately, I am a self-conscious whore.
But, I'm pretty sure the lack of interest in poker IS really a fading fad. Some would argue with me, I know. I would argue, though, that such an exclusionary pastime was bound to fade. It reached the height of its opulence over the summer as far as I'm concerned, and we'll all be back to just drinking ourselves retarded without the pretense of planned activity in no time.
