Derailed Thoughts

Have you ever had a night where your brain was absolutely functional, but your personality was on vacation?  Where your brain was still happy to spit out things for your mouth to work on saying, but that side of you that connects with people and makes conversation enjoyable is busy in the back of your brain looking through cupboards for its misplaced left shoe?

I think we all have those moments from time to time, and tonight was one of those nights.  I don’t have any profound thoughts on the situation, just wanted to point out how ridiculously annoying it is when those nights roll around.  It’s not a problem when you’re around good friends–they know you’ve got a quiet side.  But when your personality’s off switch gets switched off at a party and ten people’s first impression of you is that your only friends are duck tape and well-organized sock drawers, it can be a nuisance.
