I’m sorry about your mother. Growing up like that sucks.

Asking about others is usually how I operate too. It’s why I know all about Janet, my dental hygienist and why she went into teeth. And how my second-favorite retina nurse was in the library club in high school.

This hair cutting incident stood out and I wrote about it, because it’s unusual for me to blab about myself (ironic for the person with the 25-year-old blog).

Thank you for not being annoyed by the There is No Five affectation. I miss the Good Taste Club too! Those were/are the very best people on the internet.

I’ve taught myself to channel that fear of quiet by asking the other people questions about themselves rather than me talking about myself – it comes off like I’m interested in them, so I’m the nice guy, and saves me from babbling on and on about myself.

By the way, I know you aren’t fond of your “there is no five” thing, but I miss the “there is no five thing.” That and the Good Taste Club.
