You know, I used to call myself the master of non-sequiturs, for the express reason that in active conversation, I have trouble staying on topic. It's not like I have ADD. Well, maybe conversational ADD. It's a variety of things.
Much of the time, it's because I find the topic of conversation uninteresting, and I'll zone out. Then suddenly I'll think of something I want to talk about, and without thinking, I'll just blurt it out. Oftentimes the other members of the conversation will smile and move on, and I'm fine with that. Then there are the times where, mid conversation I think of something hilarious. Worried, I'll, you know, forget it, I'll try and work it into the conversation, sometimes this works, but other times... well... not so much.
Then there are the instances where, actually... I just watched an episode of the Office I had DVRed from Thursday. I'd been putting it off, you see, because I was ushering for a wonderful play put on by Crown Point Community Theatre called "August: Osage County", and I had no time. Anyway, something I noticed about this episode was that it was funny. I mean, not like the other episodes weren't funny, but this one was really funny, like downright hilarious. I think it was because Jim pranked Dwight like he hadn't since earlier seasons, I mean that one time Dwight was like "Ladies and gentleman, the Last Supper," I was almost on the floor because I was laughing so hard.
So yeah, I just thought I share this story about my conversational habits.
