I’m always surprised when it happens. 99% of the time I’m just tolerated, but every once in a while someone asks. Happened last night. I was sooooooooo happy.

    God we’d be such fast friends in real life…if you could put up with my own tangents and rambling, anyway. I love having conversations that lead me to 10 tabs of Wikipedia

      I had a long time partner who had her own things. It was pretty normal for us to talk during and after dinner, then retreat to our own worlds. She or I would ask what the other was doing sometimes, “nothing, just reading” meant you were 10 pages deep, and chasing all the citations.
