I guess.

Seriously, hanging out with people who spend alllll their time a) recounting party stories and b) trying to one-up one another with how smart and philosophical they are is so mentally exhausting that I was on edge the whole time.

There has to be just one Catholic guy who is more easy-going and comfortable than that, doesn't there?

People are all out of their element and uncomfortable at weddings, they're all probably better at home. It's OK - I guess we didn't expect you'd actually bring someone home with you, but we'll keep trying :~)

Were all the pseudo-intellectuals male?

It may have just been males interacting with one another in a strange environment.

Men are odd ...

It's just boring to me! I'd rather read a book, or even more galling to folks like that; watch TV! LOL!
