A bunch of people came over to our apartment to eat dinner tonight, but I was not feeling social. As such, I hung out in the kitchen, not contributing to the conversation.
The only time I did speak up was to jump into their ongoing conversation to explain why, according to Tolkien, the giant eagles couldn't have just flown Frodo and the ring to Mordor.
There was kind of a weird pause following my explanation. One girl asked "So are you like...a Lord of the Rings buff?"
"Um," I replied, "I read them in middle school..."
Soooooo that will be our guests' only impression of me.
