Went out with friends from high school again. We had one of those long conversations where we mainly reminisce about old times and silly shit.

Came home and immediately left to meet another friend. We had one of those conversations that is both shallow and deep. Everything started out as gossip about people, but would slide into deeper thoughts on our friends. Love lives, lesbian attraction, cockteases, irrational hatred, STDs, old flames, fetishes, deep emotional problems, sexual hangups, incriminating pictures, tits, ass, dicks, fucked up parents, etc. And that was just while we were talking about Tanya. :)

It's interesting to tear off the scab we so frequently grow over our true feelings and poke at the oozy bits beneath. Talking about people honestly, but saying things that could get us in so much trouble. Comparing notes on the secrets we have each heard from someone. Arguing about whether he is worth being friends with or if she has a brain at all. Tracing webs of secrets and lies, sometimes even truth. Stopping just short of telling the Really Big Secret (tm) about someone. Knowing there is a line between gossip and betrayal. Confessing past indiscretions, screwups, lusts and so on. Thank god we only had 2 or 3 drinks or who knows what we would have said.

I'm still convinced I'm saner than most of the people I know.

Love lives: Only one at present
lesbian attraction: Do all of the women of Farscape count?
cockteases: Now Mikey, you must've been talking a bit about you as well ;)
irrational hatred: Awright, this one rings a bell
STDs: Ahem. Course not.
old flames: And why they suddenly become cool after I break up with them?
fetishes: Ooh. Interest, pique!
deep emotional problems: I admit to only the weird sleep-related one.
sexual hangups: You mean, suspension hooks?
incriminating pictures: Bad Mikey
tits: I prefer small but shapely
ass: Round yet firm
dicks: A good fit
fucked up parents: Will the person with normal parents raise their hand?
etc.: Damnit, you promised not to tell that one.

And that was just while we were talking about Tanya. :)

Mhmph.

how does this relate to me?
*grin*

Let's see, on the insane side you have running with the bulls, living with me and cynthia, everything Ezra told me about when you worked at 'Metzo, the way you dance, your cats, and so on.

On the sane side you convinced Lori to marry you, but I'll let her say if that was skill or luch. :)

All in all you're better than most.

And what, pray, IS so special about being sane? Perhaps I'll never know.

[uglor.livejournal.com]

I have never been too sure. The best I can think of is a few months ago when Karen asked me somethng like "Mike, what makes you not worry about whether you'll be happy in the future?" I guess that might be a big part of it.

[litovka.livejournal.com]

Umm.. so is not being worried about being happy in the future a sign of sanity, prerequisite, or a consequence?

[uglor.livejournal.com]

I dunno. I wasn't even aware that there was anything special about it until Karen asked me.

uhuh

Why is it that the nut cases always feel the need to discuss how sane they are, Mike?

Dunno. Why don't you ask one of them. I don't talk about how I'm sane. I AM sane.
