How I did not introduce myself this season...
Him: So, are you regretting your retirement, now that [redacted name] has signed up?
Me: Nope. Not yet. Although, I did see that [redacted name] and [redacted name] are back too.
Him: I wondered if you saw that.
Me: Not surprised, either. They all have something to prove, and now they can. Besides, I can focus on all that meta game stuff.
Him: Yeah?
Me: Yeah, you know, the stats and the graphs and junk. If I am not playing there is no way anyone can say I am only doing it for the votes, right? I can't wait to tell everyone how I have managed to ...
Him: Oh what have you done now?
Me: Nothing, really. Remember I told you how one day I wanted to do this whole "homage to Idol" thing? Well, I have finally been able to let my fan site has go live. It's still sparse; I am putting content on it as fast as I can. But, it's there and I am proud of it. Say, it would be awesome if you would...
Him: What, you want me to tell people about it? You want me to advertise your little site?
Me: Oh, could you? That would be so sweet of you!! Really, just fantastic!
Him: [exasperated sigh] I will think about it.
Me: Oh. Well, ok. I mean, you don't have to if you don't want to. I understand... I know how much you hate me and all.
Him: Yeah, well. Whatever. I just wanted to make sure you weren't changing your mind about playing this season. Quitter.
Me: All the way.
