The voyage of the missing wish.

I don't know where exhaustion begins anymore; I think it just exists only to walk away every now and then. If only I could seek slumber before the midnight hour, but it seems my body always requires some time to readjust to the idea of quiet rest from frenzied mayhem.
I enjoy mingling with colleagues, it amuses me, especially those that wish to engage in banter. I possess a rare skill, it seems that from time to time, I am able to talk about the most banal matters with people and then turn the discussion into something bizarre, awkward, taboo, or all the above in a matter of seconds. It happens so quickly that most people have no idea what has happened until later, and then I think they always think it was a dream they had. For instance, while discussing an order form that I had filled out, I suddenly transitioned into an observation on the unnoticed beauty of cauliflower. Ok, so it doesn’t translate so well to print, but when you converse quickly people tend to just nod and go on. Lovely time, that.

Oh, I saw my ill-fated date of a few weeks ago tonight, ah sweet awkward moments; life is so ripe with them. My favorite part of the conversation was her discussing actions she thought I had performed because she had written me asking about them, brilliant. I should ask her out again just to enjoy yet another sweet moment of long pauses as she searches for a viable excuse. Ok, that sounded slightly bitter.

Lesson of the Day: Answering questions is fine; asking inane trite ones in return is not.
