I think it is good to take

yourself out of your element every once in a while. I usually hate being surrounded by people I don't know (I don't hate it, I just dislike it) but last night I went to a function filled with people I don't know. I spoke to a fireman about blowing things up and I think I may have scared the rest of the people at the table. Maybe there is a reason I don't do this kind of stuff very often. The fireman thought I was cool though.
