    Most people are shit storytellers, not my fault that I tried to revive their crappy-ass bullshit and then finally resorted to a hostile takeover because they couldn’t even make fighting a dragon sound interesting.

    “One time, I saw a beaver.”

    “That’s cool, what were you doing at the time? What was it doing?”

    “Just walking. I dunno.”

    ……

    “That reminds me of when I saw some beavers in the park nearby. They were chewing up sone logs by the water and making noises you would not expect, and the whole time we’re just there trying to quietly point them out to strangers who were also walking by and—“

    “Oh my god, you only talk about yourself.”

      A lot of people i know tell the same story multiple times, and often times i remember it better than they do. I never know what to do and often i sit there and just listen to it awkwardly. My girlfriend told me before that she’s probably telling things more than once. I feel bad telling her that she told it before, and often when she tries to remember a name or location, i tell her and she goes: yeah that’s right. And then keeps telling the story.
