I was in my host family's place tonight. It was pretty fun, as I get to talk to a lot of people. These days I do not have too many social events, so this one is good for my mental health. Besides, I get a whole Fondue set (plus chocolate and strawberry) as gift, and I give them a CD of Les Miserable. I guess that's when you call it a fair trade.
Just like in previous years, we talked around the neighborhood and sang Christmas Carols to strangers. Kids all had wide eyes when they saw Ed in Santa Clause's dress. I had the leash with dog, which also had a stupid Santa hat and beard. I think she hated it a lot.
I can be pretty charming in conversations. I usually do not take risks in initiating a new topic, but I can ride on an old topic almost forever. I think I have a lot of knowledge of everything (Thanks, TIME magazine and a variety of lectures). Sometimes I intentionally put up smart but probably psuedo-scientific explanations of things, but never insist upon them. Always seem to be energetic and positive, interesting and interested. The fun thing is, however, that I always regard this as a public performance. That's why I always did well in job interviews, but my personal life sucked.
Merry Christmas.
