don't be such a milktoast

I want to scream some real shit from every possible medium. problem is, I don't have any real shit to scream.

Have you ever talked about all there is to talk about? I like to hang out by myself in coffee shops, to be :around: people without all the hassle of talking to them. I like people, just... not interacting with them. Most of the time.

I kind of imagined a little homey safe haven for myself in All Saints, at a table in the corner, where people tacitly accepted me and acknowledged that little table as :my: area, at least for those few hours. It's comforting, acknowledgement of strangers, I feel comfortably connected to everyone through anonymity. Once you cross the line, break the barrier of anonymity, all that's left are a few things to talk about. Could turn out good, great, wonderfully, but mostly it turns out shitty, mediocre. I'm happy with a room full of strangers.

Most of the time. Every once in a while I'll be really social. Sometimes I'm funny, too, and sometimes people like me and we'll have loads to talk about and drink and dance 'til the sun comes up.

But mostly it's just this. I guess that's how it goes.
