when i have nothing to say..
Nov. 21st, 2011 01:25 pmB&D's anniversary drinks were on Friday night.
As with other recent social events, i again found my conversational skills close to nonexistent. One possible contributing factor which came to mind is simply not having any news to talk about - "Same stuff, different year" was something i found myself saying a few times. It did make me wonder: is there nothing going on in my life worth talking about? Work is just work, and taekwondo seems to be drifting along with the same balance of enjoyment and stagnation as ever (despite the pressure mounting to do a 5th dan grading soon, which might make some difference once i actually start training for it). Otherwise, all that's really left is meditation and reading about Buddhism, which don't really come up as 'news' to talk about, or lamenting the state of the house and how little i can do about it. What else is there - shopping, housework and Jono?
It's an interesting problem: Much as i enjoy the quieter parts of my life at the moment, relaxing in the garden with a nice cup of tea just doesn't make for a fascinating conversation piece.
