Last night I went to Pagan Night Out, hung out at Eric's apartment a bit, dropped by the worst imitation of a rave ever, and then LARP'd 'til dawn. It was the first PNO I'd been to. Right away Jeff and I met the person who knew everyone. "So are you Pagans? Pagan-friendly? Pagan-curious?" At this point I'm thinking "actually, I'm Pagansexual" "We're Discordians, among other things" She mentioned that she was about to update houstonpagan.com, which led to webdev discussion. Since I apparently "knew my head from my ass", a quality she's evidently not use to encountering much, within minutes I was hired on as the linux guy for her company. Then she introduced us around. The last person was excited that we were Discordians, as she hadn't met any since moving into town. "Whenever I mention Discordians around here I usually get more-blank-than-usual looks" Someone walked up at that point, and she shared her excitement with them. "I found Discordians!" The newcomer produced a very nice blank look. "Ok.." Jeff tried to help explain. "Discordians. We have five fingers on each hand." This only seemed to make the look reach new levels of blank, so I gave it a shot. "Discordians. We like to wear Emperor Norton's old clothes." This clearly wasn't going anwhere, so I changed strategies. "Discordians. We don't know either." Another woman walked up later to hit on the girl and the male attached to her backside. "Wait, are y'all monogamous?" They weren't of course. I offered my thoughts on the subject. "Monogamous? I prefer domestic cars." The one girl was the only person who understood this.
