For example, I was having coffee with friends the other day:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Me<\/strong>:  You should hear Simon saying <a href=\"http:\/\/momm-eh.blogspot.com\/2005\/06\/pretty-please-with-screeches-on-top.html\">&#8216;please&#8217; <\/a>these days&#8230; (settles into anecdote mode).<br \/><strong>Friends<\/strong>:  We know, we read about it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Me<\/strong>:  Oh yeah.<br \/>(awkward silence)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Me<\/strong>:  So I read this really terrific <a href=\"http:\/\/momm-eh.blogspot.com\/2005\/05\/read-this-book-time-travelers-wife.html\">book <\/a>called the Time Traveler&#8217;s Wife.

Um&#8230;<br \/>(more awkward silence)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Me<\/strong>:  So, did I tell you about this really amazing nap I had out on the glider for about an hour and a half yesterday?<br \/><strong>Friends<\/strong>:  Hey!

I, um, got a little mixed up I guess.  Well, nice seeing you guys again.  I gotta run, I think I left the kettle on.  Bye!  (slinking out the door)<\/p>\n<p>So I either need to find some new friends, or I need all my old friends to stop dropping by blog.  Anybody know where I can get some new friends?
