I'm so tired of people who seem so interested in talking to me and yet can barely string two sentences together.

Variant 1:
Hey
Hi
Hello
Solution 1: Give me more to work with.

Variant 2:
Him: Hey, I love your fursona!
Me: Thanks!
Him: You're welcome!
Solution 2: You just gave me nowhere to go.

As a 65yo, I have achieved a certain hard-earned wisdom that may have eluded you. I will share:

1) Just get up and go pee, it's not goin' away.

2) Start the fitted sheet at the hardest-to-reach corner.

3) If you get a cold drink, only to discover that you already had one, drink the coldest one first.

4) Work and feel shitty, or don't-work and don't feel shitty. Don't-work and feel shitty is a lousy choice.

5) Being weird is, in fact, a perfectly normal thing to be. *Everyone* does it.
