Amusing and slightly disturbing

maderrThe first guy interviewed today is something of a writing fiend, apparently. He's working on two novels, about which he apparently wouldn't shut up during his interview, and has been published in a few places for nonfiction work.
This led to my boss asking me what I write, recalling that yesterday I'd made a crakc about my feeble attempt at sci-fi. I told him, "I write fantasy, contemp fiction and apparently have a knack for butchering fairytales."
Luckily I didn't have to elaborate, b/c shortly thereafter the conversation turned to what a scumbag Bush is and then to Michael Moore, whom my coworkers apparently think is "The Man."
I realize that people here disagree with my opinions, which is cool. You also debate with me and all. These people? It honestly makes me horribly uncomfortable to even attempt to discuss my various interests and what I actually write. How sad is that?
Speaking of Fairytales, though. ^_^ Maile's is coming right along and Ki-chan's will shortly follow if all goes according to plan.
