I have discovered I have a hard time occassionally being anti social. I was not in the mood for a lot of company last night but they were there when I got home. I could have just wandered up to my room and been fine, but I just could not do that. I kept feeling like I was being rude.

Also discovered my tollerance for baby birthing talk is limited. I am not a very domestice person. After being surrounded by so many pregnant people I feel a desire to go somewhere more lively like vegas or bagdad.

To those who had to deal with me after work last night I am sorry. I am sure I was coming off as grumpier than normal.

I don't think it's rude to go away when there are people in your house and you aren't feeling social. When you live this close to this many people, you have to allow yourself to get away from them when you need to. I do it all the time when you guys are at my place. Maybe some would think it's rude, but it's not half as rude as I would get if I had no escape. So next time, go ahead and go away, or kick us out. We've done it to you people before, we won't be insulted. :)

And as to the baby talk (someplace more lively indeed, just wait until the babies are actually here), now you know how some of us feel when the rules talk starts up. Or the obscure sci-fi show talk, or the political talk, etc. :) Hoshiadam used to spend five hours at a time talking to his friend Devereaux about Five Rings miniatures rules - I've found that the best thing to do is have a conversation with someone else, find something to do, or flee. Conversations are bound to come up from time to time that interest some people more than others, after all, it can't be avoided.

My two cents.

Wow! - hear! hear! The rules talk drives me buggy - I sometimes feel guilty when we sit around and talk about Suibhne's twins or some old game stuff that only some people know - but my guilt suddenly evaporates with thoughts of all those damn rules discussions or evercrack thingies I've had to listen to - or find an escape from.

I also occasionally get antisocial or people phobic - it sound like your group is similar to ours and there is sometimes a lot of traffic through here. Having been in this kind of atmosphere for some 10 years - I learned in the first couple of years that people who I want to keep coming back if I tell them I'm retreating, but they can stick around. Or if Mik's being entertaining, I can flee quietly.

Fell not bad. I have a habbit of wandering away when people talk about something unintresting. Oww...shinny!
