Nobody visits Gibbs in Alaska.
I wrote a speech for some convention or other about the problems in the representation of workplace friendship presented in NCIS.
Last year I realized that my friend Stacey had been responsible for forcing a group of workplace people I thought liked me to include me in certain activities.

Turns out people tolerate me except for a few exceptionally kind people who like me in very small doses.
Yes, except for Will, it turns out I'm that guy - the guy people smile at while hoping will go away. Only Will could stand me for over a few hours at a time.
And that's ok.
If I'm the loud asshole in the classroom (and it seems I am) then it's a good thing I'm also an introvert and like being by myself. With that in mind, I think I need to start fishing again. EDIT: I had a great talk with Pastor Jeff this morning after mass in which I said, "All parts are important to the Body of Christ and I found out what part I am ... " he started laughing ... "and I need to do better at keeping it closed. ... but it's important for getting rid of shit."
Meanwhile:
I have a hat.
