deird1Conversations that make me feel like an alien:
1)
Coworker: "What did you do this weekend?"
Me: "I went to a wedding."
Coworker: "Ooh, did you get drunk?"*
2)
The whole skirt thing.**
3)
Me: "Yeah, I'm teaching myself Latin."
Coworker: "...why?"***
4)
Random Acquaintance: "Anyone else hungry?"
Me: "Yes! Very!"
R.A.: "Great! Let's have Devonshire tea!"****
5)
*Coworker inspects my window ledge of fictional space things, including Serenity, Starbug, a DRD, and a Skutter*
"Are they... planes or something?"*****
* Seriously, why???
** I have finally tracked some long skirts down, and now have a spiffy winter wardrobe.
*** I keep feeling like staring at them blankly and asking "Why wouldn't I?"
**** Scones with jam and cream. I seem to be the only Aussie in existence who doesn't like this.
***** Yes, these are all different coworkers. They all think I'm very strange.
