It's hard to undoctrinate football cultists, but at least you can nod and say "yes, speaking of beautiful football passes, imagine how much more talent and skill it takes to pass while lurching on ice on one foot!"

I'd probably be left in the dust regarding your reading capacity, but I still love to talk about books and reading even though I manage to get only about one or two pages a day, and favour authors like Bernard Cornwell!<br /><br />On the question of sports, I am not very knowledgeable or indeed interested, for the most part. I do like to occasionally watch a bit of Australian Rules Football because OMG the players *drool*. I also like cycling, but I'm not very knowledgeable about that either except perhaps for the *ahem* aerodynamic properties of lycra. Usually, I nod off after a while, lulled to sleep by the rhythm of the pedals. :P<br /><br />Camilla<br />ps I can never work out how to log in here.Camillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11672776221279283290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3287848437808779650.post-60234585877810996482010-12-09T20:32:52.925-05:002010-12-09T20:32:52.925-05:00It varies for me.

I adore 1-on-1's, it's a great chance to really focus on the other person and connect with them, but they only work when both people are comfortable with each other. But there's a special hilarity, especially when you have a close group of friends, to a multiple-people conversation that's pretty hard to find in a 1-on-1.
