ups and downs of socializing

[ree]

I had a lot of socializing over the Independence Day period, more than I am quite comfortable with, and by the end of it I was firmly lodged into a corner, constantly refreshing my phone in desperate search of something more familiar for me to do. (This was not helped by the person present who did two things upon my entrance: one, told a joke where the punchline was that women are not supposed to enjoy the hobbies that I enjoy, and two, asked me about my relationship to someone I don't speak to anymore because Reasons, then doubled down when I tried to be politely refuse to answer.)

I'm still perturbed by that sequence.

I'm back to my old self after a few days of normal routine, though.

There are posts at Pro! We had a Snoggy in the chat! Turns out Snog and I watch a bunch of the same TV shows! I.... got nothing else done all afternoon because chat had priority and I regret nothing! (Although I do need to get a few things accomplished before supper.)

What a good day it's been.

Take care of yourselves out there!

You can thank our favorite German for dragging me on to IRC, but you are most welcome! She also let me know that you'd posted, so that's why I went through the rigmarole of getting a Dreamwidth account, because it seemed polite! I was happy dancing during out conversation, and so, well, as I said! Polite!

I also thought a bit on the Skype thing we talked about, and realized that I must have been _really_ out of it. Because if I'd been more awake (sometimes that means, rested), I could have told you hilarious stories of how Americans at ScanFest in Portland, Oregon thought I was an American referring to their ancestry in the States.

It went a bit like this.

"Oh, hey, so you're Finnish?"

"Yeah."

"Oh, sweet, I'm Norwegian? Which of your grandparents was Finnish?"

"Er. No. I mean, I'm Finnish."

"Yeah, but, which grandparent? My grandparents were both Norwegian."

"...okay. *digs out passport* I'm literally Finnish."

It still makes me laugh.

Yet the fact of the matter is, I _loved_ our conversation, and I will definitely make myself available if I can! I'm derping through this day, because oh brains.

Much love, Miss Ree!
