The comic strip above is a fairly accurate description of how I approach discussions…at 2 am. Don’t get me wrong, given the right conversation (like say, mundane tips for driving to and from Craigieburn) I could go on and on. But at the end of the day I acknowledge that my mind is tired and proceed to shut it down for some downtime. Sure, you may say “but wouldn’t that mean you don’t have much self-control?”. Well, perhaps you’re right. But also perhaps with all the thoughts that bounce around my infinitesimal brain, that momentary time-out from life called sleep isn’t such an insensible thing to do?
Also, another thing about conversations is that, being an introvert, they drain me out more often than energise me. It’s even worse when it comes to debates; I am probably one of the worst debaters among my pool of friends. I could literally take weeks or months to come up with a substantial retort or witty reply, which of course could be bothersome to others. I admire how some people can easily speak their mind and articulate their thoughts in real-time. I’m more of a hindsight/foresight kind of person. I guess I should continue working on my conversation skills.
Anyway, Explosions in the Sky tonight @ the Forum theatre. Woo!
