Don't Get Me Started

Place: Barcode
Setting: Martinis, Wine, Techno (House music, whatever) Music, Gay men, Straight ladies, Food, and Christmas lights.

Matt to Amanda: You shouldn't read books.
Amy: What!
Amy: Why shouldn't someone read books?
Matt: Why would you want to?
Amy: Why would you NOT want to?
Matt: Because you can listen to books?
Amy: That is great, I support someone wanting to checkout or by any publication by an author in order for one to learn and be interested in literature (okay I don't think I said this exact statement b/c I was 3-4 glasses of wine in BUT it was something like this).
Matt: Nods his head

Then I just went on a roll for a good ten minutes about books and libraries, etc.
During this time people's eyes start to glaze over....

Matt to Amanda: Was she an English major? (I was still talking which is why he didn't ask me)
Guy who styled my hair to David: She is really passionate about books.

I stop talking b/c I heard both comments. Think about it for a second and look at Amanda and Amanda looks at me.

At the same time we say:
Amanda: She is a Librarian!
Amy: I am a Librarian!

Laughter and me turning red and realizing I can go on a tangent about books and libraries, ugh.
