He just didn't have that thing in his brain that allowed him to analyze his thoughts for appropriateness. Instead, anything he thought just came out of his mouth before he could stop it. It wasn't something he (or anyone else) was really happy with. His real problem was that he desperately wanted to be liked, and he did that by being funny. Or trying to be funny. His attempts at humor lead him to not be able to stop his mouth.<br /><br />And, yes, this is in SR.<br /><br />Michael: Actually, none of this is rural. This is right through the middle of the city I live in. There's a project to restore the creek area to a "wild" condition, and they've worked very hard on that. It's really nice. We take the path right to downtown to get coffee at our favorite cafe.<br /><br />Briane: Goblins are pretty pervasive. I bet you can find them where you live if you look hard enough.<br />(Sorry I missed the pineapple thing. I just didn't have the time.)Andrew Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964775673414653644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-85192908610940255062012-02-06T11:31:06.433-08:002012-02-06T11:31:06.433-08:00This was a great post!

So I will respond here :) I actually exaggerated immensely. I should have compared myself with my co-worker. The friend you describe sounds way more like her. I am never rude or insulting except only once in a gray moon and when I realize I am I profoundly apologize, like I did to the person in my story and he said he wasn't even offended. I am very very sensitive. I worry all the time that I've done or said something wrong. So really what I am, rather than insulting or rude, is paranoid and awkward. I would never walk in a room and say "it smells like sex" never never.. I would never make anyone feel uncomfortable or hurt either. I'm just an idiot that blurts out things like "I need cocaine!" at work.<br /><br />My co-worker on the other hand is rude ALL the time and doesn't seem aware that she does it or care. She would never spend an entire night agonizing over whether she hurt someone with her constant snide remarks. She'd laugh and say "tough".<br /><br />My work-spouse is a best friend at work of the opposite sex who is my confidante and supporter and mate. He's also gay but not out so we joked about how the students ask him why he doesn't just find a nice girl to settle down with and I said we could just let people think we date. So we laughed and he calls me work spouse.<br /><br />Man your world is full of trolls and goblins and such!

They empty into the creek, and the creek is right there.<br /><br />Jennifer: Thanks for letting me know! It's just going to get more intense from here on out. Except for what's coming next. Which is actually what came first. It will all make sense soon.<br /><br />ABftS: Yeah, well, what can I say? Mundane answers rarely just pop into my head. <br /><br />Jeremy: Thanks!<br /><br />Sarah P: Well, you know, the true history of anything is so hard to get at.<br /><br />Alyssia: There's a box? Oh! You mean that box everyone else lives in! Oh, yeah, we don't like that box.<br /><br />I think my favorite is the road song but the goblin one is pretty close.<br /><br />Rusty: It's cause they refuse to play nice.<br />hehAndrew Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964775673414653644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-7895634567316416672012-02-03T05:38:38.591-08:002012-02-03T05:38:38.591-08:00Goblins are the last great group of folks that is ...Goblins are the last great group of folks that is still sociably acceptable to discriminate against.
