Sorry, I'm A Stanger Here Myself

[poliphilo]

When I was a kid I used to wonder what it was like to go into a pub and order a drink. And I used to worry that, when my time came, I'd do it wrong and be found out

I've always felt like I was bluffing my way through life. Like I'd missed out on some absolutely vital briefing session.

Keep your head down, imitate the natives, don't do anything to give yourself away.

yah i had that too.
now?
well hell.
now i just ASSUME i'm going to screw it up. so i go in with low expectations. and if i get the job done smooth? then wow, that's like, a major victory. and if i don't, well then. i'll probably still get a drink. just- people will think- 'damn that boy can't order for toffee'. or something.
