Give me some good beer, conversation, friends, and music and there is little that will bother me. I try to treat others as I wish to be treated and when I don't, I like to think I learn from my mistakes. I believe most people are trustworthy until proven otherwise. I'm a conversational snob. I have little tolerance for stupidity or rudeness. Common courtesy is one of the best traits one can have. I believe there is conversation that is inappropriate for the dinner table. I love running into people I used to know, but am always happier if I look cute when it happens. I think there would be much less ruckus in the world if brunch were a daily offering.

Advance Notice is a Good Thing

Paul and I went to a concert last night. We arrived before the first band went on (Longview - the band Paul wanted to see) so we sidled up to the bar near the door and ordered beer. As I was talking with the bartender, I noticed Paul talking to a girl behind me. I turned around to hand him his beer and he introduced me to Lauren. I was a bit taken aback because this is his ex-girlfriend from last year. Not a big deal that he was talking to her (I am not a jealous sort) but he knew she was going to be there and she knew I was going to be there. Why was I the only one who didn't know? A little "Hey, you're going to be meeting Lauren tonight" would have been nice. I would have made sure I looked cuter. Yes, we women are a silly bunch. We stayed for a bit of the second band (Dogs Die in Hot Cars) because I enjoyed them - they were very fun and I've been reading great reviews about them the last couple months. They're kind of ska but not really, lead singer's voice has a Killers tone about it and their keyboardist is to them as Linda McCartney was to Wings. I swear it wasn't plugged in.
