Did I say sixteen of me? I'm sorry, we're only one
Punch line: not only did it not rain on the potluck or even as I was making my way there, after an initial access of Tiny Wittgenstein I had a really nice time. My jaw is rather unhappy with me, and my body overall is reminding me that we cannot run all social interactions on cortisol forever, but I had some very nice conversations and pistachio-flour pastries. It was the kind of crowd where my high school slime mold science project counted as a party piece. I only had to bring half a lemon cake home with me.
I should also mention that I have joined the ensemble of the 29th First Annual Ig Nobel Prize Ceremony; I will be singing in the mini-opera Creatures of Habit. Please come hear me and various other talented people musically incarnate various bad habits in September. I am looking forward immensely.
I'm going to see what happens if I fall over on the couch now.

Me too! I feel as though I have gotten out of the habit of being in strange social situations and I need to remember that I can in fact talk to pretty much anyone about pretty much anything, cf. conversations tonight about Rudyard Kipling, the Eastern Front of World War II, the Eastern Front of WWI, medieval marginalia, the Neo-Assyrians, the discovery of the cosmic microwave background, environmental lead pollution, and science projects I have known. Plus, you know, people's jobs and daily lives. It is useful.
