Snowflake Day 3: Guess Who's Coming To Dinner

So the interesting question is whether you presume that the people you're inviting would be interested in talking to you over a dinner that you hosted.

Do you have to invite extroverts who will naturally fill the room with conversation, etc? Or else the obliviously garrulous who will natter on, because the people whose opinion you're interested in won't actually talk to you?

Let's just say I've had enough people who I connected with on social media, but when it came to f2f interactions, meals were a bust. 60-90 minutes of awkwardly stilted conversation and either we never spoke again online or off, or we never met in person again and never referenced it.

Basically, dinner parties hinge on having "the race that knows Joseph" or else having people who can fake courtesy and interaction sufficiently smoothly that if the talk doesn't flow it at least doesn't lapse into awful silence.

I do wonder a little if the tendency to reach for the phone to check social media is one way of lubricating interactions that have far too much potential to break under silence. That's not an excuse, mind you, just a thought.

maybe that's what He meant by 'wait'?

So, I guess if Ossoff wins, then all that's left is for Mitch to expire, eh?

I mean, timeframe, mimeshame. I'm not going to be picky about when, so long as it's during election season...

I'm going to need an new US Presidential icon. Or maybe just a Stacey Abrams one.
