story

"It's a long story, I'll tell you over coffee sometime."

I find myself saying that to people quite a bit. I may mention something in passing in another conversation, that they'll question, and I'll just tell them the above quote. I have a LOT of long stories to tell, actually. If people truly do want to know, they'll make an effort to find out and call me. I used to actually have cards that said, "I'll tell you over coffee sometime," and give them to people. Sometimes they would, sometimes they wouldn't. That was back in the Time Before Blogs, when dinosaurs roamed the earth, and Clinton was president. Ahh, those were the days. ::sigh::

Now, nobody really calls me to find out my "over coffee stories." Instead, I find some strange searches in activity logs for people who are searching my archives. Well, what most people don't know is that I lost all my archives from 2001- October 2003 in a freak internet accident, and the remainder of what remains, I haven't really written many of them.

Ah well.

(Oh, and one of these days, I'll start a twilight without a quote.)
