    I hate conversation hostages. They just dont let you exit, and don’t really care if you’re listening. I can understand their loneliness, but christ they need to develop the skills of: a) summarize your bullshit, and b) gauge my reaction to see if I’m interested.

      Yeah, I don’t think he was too aware or didn’t want to be. The moment I saw his picture I did the whole “no fucking way this is you” face. I think he really needed to talk about it, which I understand, but it wasn’t the place or the time. He caught me completely offguard.
