Sometimes I worry about how much I've been talkin'...
I worry about it, because so very often I've seen people just let go whenever there's a pause in the conversation, or a simple stop for breath. What is it about these people who just go on and on and on? Can't they see that they are boring other people or simply telling me way too much about themselves?
Now, don't get me wrong. I love a good conversation, and I love a good talker. I'm good audience, because I love to pay attention to what's being said, and what isn't. I listen well, and often find myself storing up random phrases or discussions that people have uttered because it's impressed me so much.
On the flipside though, is those chatterers who just go on about everything and anything. They usually talk a mile a minute, and more often than not, don't wait for a comment, a question or any sort of indication that there's some sort of connection between 2 people going on. It's usually a solo journey they're on.
I get happy when I get drunk. I usually sit on my barstool and follow the conversation around. I'm not shy to speak up, but I am entertained by other people's stories, especially if I've heard 'em before. I like the way a story can change, and I give full credit to a person who can tell the same story but in equally entertaining ways.
Sometimes, though, I worry I've said too much. I worry that I've bragged a bit, or dismissed somebody outright, because I was too focused on myself.
Sometimes, when you've had one beer too many, you do have the tendency to keep on ramblin'...
