Due to a general lack of social skills I tend to avoid social situations altogether. I'm content sliding around my empty house in pajamas and scaring my dogs, but sometimes I'm dragged outside by either of my two friends and always end up meeting a new person.
Now normally my awkward manner puts people on the defensive and ends up ruining any sort of first impression. In situations where I have some sort of vested interest I've developed a sort of defusing mechanism.
I will blatantly admit to some sort of slightly taboo activity or own up on a guilty pleasure and purposely embarrass myself. That or give a trivial fact about something relevant. But when it's the first one it almost always, in those rare occasions I use it, creates a very relaxed atmosphere.
So I thought it would be fun if we divulged normally omitted information...
I know all the words to Alanis Morissette's 'You Oughta Know'. In fact I've been known to turn up the radio and sing along no matter who's in the car. It's ridiculous.
