I love conversations, as long as they're not about me, anything I have done, anything I'm planning to do, anything I didn't get around to doing, or my feelings about anything that is actually important to me.
But... If somebody wants to waste an entire day talking about other people/places/things or my feelings about stuff like colors (Green is best, blue is OK, and red is a lying whore that I refuse to speak with.) then I'm game.
This is why date conversations are the absolute worst. Nobody does small talk these days. Everybody wants to know everything about you within the first 15 minutes so they can go ahead and judge your entire life. Sure, I haven't been able to figure myself out with decades of effort, but other people will still try to do it by the time the entrée comes.
What?! You're not talking about that Red that goes orange when you add a little yellow, are you?! Red told me that I was the only one, but it keeps showing up in so many places... I'm starting to have my doubts... Crap! And now I'm feeling blue!

P.S. Sorry. I've been told I have bad filters before. (I've also been told that I'm not very funny.) Ahem... But let's talk about you...
