Oh to be surrounded by people where that WOULD fit into casual conversation! On the other hand, it IS evilly fun being the oddball who throws those sorts of things into what is normally classed casual for conversation. I have done it a few times. Mostly, I'm politely ignored by all parties. The look of shock (or confusion) on people's faces gives me a tingle of delight, though. Hee. No reaction is annoying and frustrating though. Yes, I have a thing with being ignored or I get down on myself because not a lot of people share my topics of interest in my real life and i have issues with sharing when i KNOW said conversation partner is not really interested.
Usually I am bored to tears when people (mostly at my p/t office job) start talking about diets and shopping and reality shows amongst other stupid office gossip. Then there is my husband who talks about computer programming. *happy he's sharing but, holy f*&k, SIGH*
(And that is a good day, when I'm bored to tears but I can still get losts in dreaming about stories like yours.) Sometimes it turns to pure, barely controllable rage. Those are the days when I must put my headset on *real loud* and read smutty fanfic to contain myself from throwing out STELLAR sentences that are far more interesting to me than crap about dieting or computer code. Trying to get a conversation going about an awesome story and writer (such as yourself), i have discovered, is very difficult among the people i keep.
**Gotta find me some new real-time cohorts!** Orrrr maybe I just like being the loner weirdo? Who knows the human psyche. Damn Jungian thinking! Messes with me every time! ;)
SORRY so long. I do go on, don't I? Considering I'm a veritable stranger to you. . .
