What I Am
Last night I was having a good time hanging out with some friends. We were talking about all sorts of things as friends often do when they get together. Then, in a rather friendly and well-intentioned way, one turned and addressed me directly,"Brian, you seem like a drunk and a pervert."
This morning, after cooking breakfast on a week day for the first time in years, I went down to the local coffee shop to get my daily fix. I stop in just about every week day because the coffee is cheap and plentiful and the employees are trapped behind a counter - I can talk at them and they have nowhere to run. (I think I'm going to start working there come January, so I'll come to know the feeling of being trapped listening to customers' yammerings, at which point I may stop.)
"So, what'd you do last night?" It's very nice of them to feign interest in my life, but I guess they know it's coming anyway -- so why not ask?
"My friend said she thought I seemed like a drunk and a pervert."
"Yeah? So?"
"That's it. No one has ever told me that before."
"I'm a drunk and a pervert too. It's a very good way to be."
"Ahh. Good. I'm not the only one"
"Those two things go really well together. They're really compatible"
"True. At least I'm not a drunk prude."
