Smart/​Jack/​Dumb Ass

I’ve decided I tend to be exces­sively jerk­store when I’m hang­ing out with friends and mak­ing small talk. I think it is a com­bi­na­tion of being slightly bored with small talk, and only-​child-​trying-​to-​be-​the-​center-​of-​attention-​ism. As soon as some­thing inter­est­ing catches my atten­tion, how­ever, I become my basic ever-​curious self. Now that I real­ize why I’m an ass so often, I can con­sciously work to be less boor­ish. This is science.

  1. I’m glad this epiphany came before us meet­ing each other. A good friend of my sis­ter lives above you. She told me this an email today after she read my blog and put two and two together. She syas you’re head-​nod friends…Tremonter, brin­ing peo­ple together.

  2. Also, I love typos.

  3. A self pro­claimed jackass…my specialty!

    How did you man­age to fly under my radar, or miss the flam­ing sign over my head direct­ing all Jack­asses to me?

    (I think it’s because you’re not as bad as you think, Mon­sieur Harvey.)

  4. And never as good as I can be.
