Everyone walks away before I could tell them that the woman wanted to travel with her friends on flight 175 and that their brother/uncle had by coincidence attended a meeting at the WTC that morning despite being a random Irish guy and not a New Yorker and he'd been helping a woman who had been severely burned by jet fuel find an ambulance when the plane his sister and niece were aboard slammed into the other tower right above them.

Guess I'm not good at parties.

What sucks is when the groups and conversations never touch on a single area that you even remotely care about. Ex. Football, trashy TV shows, petty interpersonal dramas.

This is why I more often than not look for a family pet to belly-rub or find some other inanimate object to stare at while I disassociate.

At least Voyager would have nerds to talk to.
