a question i never thought i would hear

"so...do you work?"


coming from dc, i never thought i would hear that as the first question a stranger would asked. normally it's "what do you do?" but i looked around the room at the party i was at and realized that 1) i'm in the suburbs in long island, and 2) everyone here is a mother but me.


that's when i wondered off to find the trash can full of beer...
