I've been going about this all wrong. Human connection wasn't something I was meant to flee, it was something I should have embraced.


It isn't so bad, having someone see behind the mask.

I don't think most people get to decide who they are, really. Family can make a huge difference in your choices, like forcing your social status and education, and a lot of people have to pick certain jobs because that's what their father did. And no one gets to pick their family. And everyone has different skills, different personalities. I think most people are limited at least a little.

In some ways, we're the free-est of all.

You're definitely right about that.

And I feel free-er than ever.

Of course I am!

I'm glad to hear it. Soul searching is all well and good, so long as you're still happy to be yourself.

Modest as ever.

..Is this where we burst into song?

I don't think we have to go that far.

Good, because I can't really hold a tune.

I'm not much of a singer myself.

No spontaneous song then, it's settled.

Unless we're drunk, or think of something really appropriate.

I'm not really the drinking type. ..What could possibly be appropriate?

I'm not really into it, either, though an aged scotch or wine with dinner is very nice. ...And I have no idea.

I'm okay with beer or wine. I leave the hard liquor to my sister. [ read: such a lightweight ]

Well, my family smuggles a lot of liquor, so it's pretty much a tradition to drink it.

My dad only ever drank scotch if something really bad happened.

Oh, well that's not the only time you're allowed to.

..I know. But I prefer being in control.

I can understand that, I guess. I don't drink very much, myself. Not much at a time, I mean.

Re: [locked]

[identity profile] creepyshitking.livejournal.com 2010-12-01 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I'll have a beer or two to wind down... usually nothing more. Though the guys I work with are always trying to drag me to the bar.

And you don't go? You're so strict.

Sometimes I do. It's not exactly easy to get away with an infant at home.

Well, I guess that makes sense. Babies take a lot of work, I imagine.

Enough that I need a nanny. But it's more than worth it.

I'm definitely going to have to make sure my future wife doesn't mind taking care of any children we have.

Oh, I know that's not an option for you. I'm just saying. I don't know if I'd be very good at taking care of children full time.

You might surprise yourself.

True. I do surprise myself a lot.
