confession:
i’m not as slow on the uptake as people think.
just aloof.
it’s a protective mechanism.
i use that when i think you’ve opened up a can of worms.
but worms can be tasty, too.
i forget that sometimes.
or i become aloof when i don’t have anything funny at the front of my brain.
being funny is my usual reaction.
sometimes i’m caught off guard.
and sometimes humor ruins everything.
sometimes funny is sad.
but i get it.
i catch everything.
when you call my name from across a crowded parking lot, i hear it.
offhand remarks are logged and processed.
ostensibly unrelated ones, too.
always.
you just don’t usually know it.
sometimes people are too obtuse.
and sometimes i really AM stupid.
but not usually.
not like that.
all of this entry has been True.
now forget i told you this.
