Nothing against DC, but this is not how I envisioned spending my 30's. I had a list of 100 things I wanted to do back then. Instead of riding a motorcycle/sidecar from Nairobi to Joburg in a dinner jacket, I'm content with catching new episodes of Entourage.

The fact that it was all the other tables in the room made me twitch, hard.<BR/><BR/>Joanna - Layka Breadloaf is excellent, though. It's such an odd combo!<BR/><BR/>restaurantrefugee - Yes, I would love to hear about it. As for explaining to the room, it would've been fine with me if I hadn't announced the porn name thing. I am fine with random people knowing.<BR/><BR/>HKW - I think at this point I've explained it to enough people, and I'm comfortable enough with what's in it that it's genuinely OK with me. <BR/><BR/>As for ticks and such, always happy to be of help.<BR/><BR/>Hillary - I do try. :)<BR/><BR/>Dagny - Our table went on to discuss porn names and what each person's would be, and it turned into a good conversation. The initial shock, however, was kind of painful.<BR/><BR/>Also, this is a version of you I rarely see. I just read your post, which explains your grouch. I certainly cannot blame you.<BR/><BR/>Canaan - Ha. Thanks!<BR/><BR/>FoggyDew - Yes! Which would totally happen in the movies and would ratchet up the awkwardness.<BR/><BR/>Nicole - I don't actually think any. Or maybe at our table, but I think they'd have commented to Nick. As for the rest of the room, I'd bet money they're not Googlers.<BR/><BR/>Cheryl - Mimi O'Rourke sounds like a good Irish girl. You know, I loved our dog Gloria, and I think the name suits me, but I have wished a number of times that I'd picked something transparent. <BR/><BR/>artichoke - Thanks.:) They did.<BR/><BR/>FreckledK - I love you, I do.<BR/><BR/>Maiden Metallurgist - I really, really like all the people we were dining with. And even if any of them think I'm odd, I know they really like me. As for the rest of the room, I have no idea.<BR/><BR/>Amateur de Fromage - I'd like to see that trick, I really would.<BR/><BR/>Lemmonex - I have always wanted a sister. I think we should be.<BR/><BR/>Anonymous - You are definitely right. I think back to a lot of my cringeworthy behavior in places like the embassy or American club, where we kids didn't realize that we should actually take things seriously.
