ergCoffee is being made, paper cash is changed for laundry & coffee is in the loop, making extra for ice coffee in the 'fridge (replenishing) & thermosing the left over for tomorrow morning is an early start but I like to start with a smoothie.
I've been tempted to go meet old friends at a bar & ack, I really really want to go, and all I can think is "bleh." I am so not up for other peoples' line noise. Sure, if it were dinner or dessert and coffee, sure, I'd love to hear them out, toast their times & share meme stories. Going to the bar and staring down the chirpiness and the odd strained moroseness sounds like eating tinfoil with a hint of mustard gas.
If this doesn't make sense to you, let me put this slightly in perspective: some of these people are lovely old friends. We met years back by going into a cafe & plunking quarters into a terminal and tap-tap-typing into a 14.4 modem connection, to chat or email, or write messages on the message board; mainly though, to chat, ostensibly to email. Seeing as some people connected to the Bulletin Board System via their home machines as well, well, one wanted to meet. So we started having "Net gets" : SFNet, get togethers. Let me put this to you another way; Blau, Jeen and Dusty (Midnight) and Bare are at the O-room right now, possibly with Tater, Crannif, Violet & someone whose real name is Sam. Does this make any sense to you? It does and might sound inviting (or nausea inducing) if, your name is Blau Noise.
If you play D&D and like ascii text art, this sounds right at home.
If you would like to hear your friends out, getting together at a bar sounds like pissing upwind at the pump while drinking piss water near the Piss Creak Inn, if you get my meaning.
