Excerpts from our conversation...

I'm watching TV and checking my email in the media room.

OGDEN: What are you watching?

ME: Planet Earth.

O: I love Planet Earth. Oh! Watch this part! Watch this part! This is great.

ME: I... am.

O: Watch this! Watch this! What are you doing?

ME: Checking email.

O: Oh watch this part! This is so great. So what are your goals in life, Jillian. What do you want to do?

ME: My goals? Ummm... travel around. Have a lot of experiences.

O: Experiences!? Whoa. How old are you?

ME: 26

O: Oh, I'm sorry.

ME: I'm... not. I'm doing just fine with it.

O: Oh I'm sure you are.

ME: It's not like I have much choice in the matter.

O: No, I guess you don't. Well, I just got back from hiking in Peru. Machu Picchu. I recommend you go.

ME: I know. You told me before.

(Silence)

O: Well, I'll let you get back to your emails.

(He leaves and comes back a few minutes later.)

O: I'm not done flirting with you yet.

ME: Great.

O: So what do your parents do?

ME: You mean their jobs? What are my parents jobs?

O: Yeah.

ME: Well my Mom works with the chamber of commerce in Northwest Houston and my...

O: Are they conservative? Are you going to vote?

ME: I don't know. I don't really like politics.

O: But this is the biggest election of our lives!

ME: I doubt that.

O: Why do you doubt that?!

ME: I don't really like talking about politics.

O: Are you going to you vote for someone that bans books from a school library?! Do you agree with that?

ME: I guess it depends on the book cause if it's like porn or something it shouldn't be in a school with kids.

O: But what if it's a book like Catcher in the Rye?

ME: I think that's stupid.

O: And Sarah Palin fired a librarian, what do you think about that?

ME: I really don't want to talk about politics.

O: I think that's stupid.

ME: I think this conversation is stupid.

O: Well... jeez! Sorry to bother you.

(He leaves. Finally.)
