The speed of dark

I tend to write in my LJ when I’m at my most introspective — when I’m not, I’d rather be doing something else than documenting my thoughts, after all. I even write about thinking, sheesh… although I’d love to trade in all that contemplation time to just be smarter (or smart enough) so that I’d reach conclusions faster and not have to think so much. Doh.

Anyway, I’m not introspective now. So there! Here’s a story, though:

Tonight at dinner I was talking with a friend when I happened to look up and see this dude at the ice cream station whom I recognized from one of my various musical activities in college several years ago. We both did double takes. He walked over, and the conversation went like this:
me: Hey! [blanking, but being honest] What’s your name again? Dave?
him: no, Aaron. AJ, right?
me: um… yeah. What are you doing out here? You study math, right?
him: no, music.

Ouch. But despite that impressive start, I managed to salvage the conversation somewhat. I did remember what instrument he played (clarinet) — don’t I get some props for that? ;)
