You know you've moved into the realm of overgeek when you can't answer a simple question simply and accurately.

This morning, the nurse at the office says to me, "What kind of music do you like?". I'm completely without an answer. I flounder a bit, and settle on, "Anything with complex instrumentation, bonus points for the use of non-traditional instruments for the genre. Less vocals, more clever music." So I'm thinking, that covers almost everything, except for the thing about the Rickenbacker guitars, which you just can't explain to a sane person. Surely this would be easy to understand. I smile brightly.

She blinks a bit, and then says, "So, you like the oldies, then?".

No, not exactly. Oh well. Really thought I had it there, for a moment.

to see if said ex-roommate has found herself on top of a water tower yet.

You know, she never struck me as the water tower type. I think of her more as a quietly-locked-away, following a retreat further into herself kind of crazy :)

She was great fun, though.

Me too, but eventually they come out of it & depending on the cause it can be a Happy-Joyous occasion, or a real Head-For-The-Hills encounter.

Really, I'd rather be pleasantly surprised by finding out that she's found somewhere sound & stable that gives her a sense of belonging. Possibly involving Lithium.
