And we learn once again that, with people out of my age group, I am BAD WITH PEOPLE. We went to a barbeque in Seal Beach at the house of people my father has known since forabsolutelyever. With about one exception, I had met everyone there multiple times and they all remember me from when I was wee. And despite the fact that most of you who read this know me as someone who cannot-to-save-her-life-shut-up, I think I said a grand total of fifty words. I sat and was polite, until I got out my book, and looked vaguely decorative and entirely serious. I was lectured about how people in showbiz starve and shouldn't I be studying something useful? I nodded a lot and drank a caffeinated soda that proceeded to play havoc with my digestion. And then we came home and I was lectured about being anti-social. Woohoo. Happy Memorial Day. For those of you keeping track, it is now appropriate to wear white.

To lighten the mood, a couple of jokes from the Prarie Home Companion joke CDs:

One for the music-y types ([livejournal.com profile] akumakei and [livejournal.com profile] melomena in particular)

Son: Dad, I wanna be a musician when I grow up!
Dad: Well, you can't have it both ways

and one for the usual suspects ([livejournal.com profile] lornelover, [livejournal.com profile] amaresu, [livejournal.com profile] seino_chan, [livejournal.com profile] cupiecake, [livejournal.com profile] hacilar666...)

What's the difference between erotic and kinky?

Erotic is using a feather, kinky is using the whole chicken!

Thank you, you've been a wonderful audience, don't forget to tip your waiters...

I Cannot Hide What I Am

I must be sad when I have cause and smile
at no man's jests, eat when I have stomach and wait
for no man's leisure, sleep when I am drowsy and
tend on no man's business, laugh when I am merry and
claw no man in his humour...
I had rather be a canker in a hedge than a rose in
his grace, and it better fits my blood to be
disdained of all than to fashion a carriage to rob
love from any: in this, though I cannot be said to
be a flattering honest man, it must not be denied
but I am a plain-dealing villain. I am trusted with
a muzzle and enfranchised with a clog; therefore I
have decreed not to sing in my cage. If I had my
mouth, I would bite; if I had my liberty, I would do
my liking: in the meantime let me be that I am and
seek not to alter me.
