Hiatus from misanthropy:
Those of you who know me and have tried to get me to leave the house to do things with you in recent weeks have undoubtedly noticed my hermit-like behavior, and those of you who don't know me and just read this blog as a way of stalking me without actually having to make the effort to follow me around have probably noticed me talking about my hermit-like behavior, but this weekend I did a total fucking about-face and not only left the house, but managed to be friendly to complete strangers for over 9 consecutive hours. Not only did I manage to leave my house for something other than work or procuring food items, I had actual conversations with other humans that I didn't already know, made some new friends and reconnected with a couple of old friends, served beverages and gave directions and handed out flyers and made pretty colored pyramids out of water bottles, and did all of it while drinking beverages that had no alcohol in them whatsoever. I know what you're thinking: "Who are you, and what have you done with the antisocial, misanthropic, drunken Kathleen that I cyber-stalk?" Don't worry, I still hate almost everyone (especially that guy who cut me off on the 105-405 transition road this morning, fucking assclown), and I will be sure to tell you all about how much I despise the vast majority of humanity on a regular basis, but this weekend renewed my faith that at least .00000001% of humanity doesn't suck at least .0000001% of the time, because the reason I left the house and talked to all the people and overdosed on vitamin water (go Team Drink!) was because we were all out at the Cruel and Unusual show to help raise money for the legal defense of three people that most of us have never met. And that's enough to make even a card-carrying misanthrope like myself have the tiniest glimmer of hope for humanity.
