what is this strange place outside my door?

I actually went out and interacted with people today! It was not horrible! I went to a NaNoWriMo WriteIn (I am so far behind, agh) and it was pretty okay! I met some people who seemed neat. Although the conversation turned to fandom, and there was a lot of 'lol slash', which was a little awkward. It sort of reminded me of the time when I had dinner with Ursula Vernon (and like, other people, she didn't invite me specifically) and ended up spending a lot of time defending Snape mpreg. I don't know, part of me feels like I should have been more vehement.
Still, even though the girl at my table was down on Harry/Dumbledore, she gave me some of her pizza, so that was pretty cool.

I also have a job interview tomorrow, which I am quietly freaking about about. Has anyone, *ever* figured out a good answer to the question "What do you consider to be your worst quality?" I've been asked it like six times and I think I've muffed it up every time. Also, I'm going to be gone from the 19th to the 22nd, and it feels weird to say "I would love to work for you, can I take some time off?" (I will be in Massachusetts, but I don't know if I'll be able to see people.) *flails*
