"I like the quiet."

The other night I was talking backstage with one of the cast members, and we started discussing what we'd be doing that night were we not in the show:

Him: I'd be at my friend's party, getting drunk, and making out with someone random.
Me: I'd be at home, working on a cross-stitch, and listening to my cat purring next to me. Or possibly I'd be practicing guitar...
Him: Oh. Well, maybe it's a good thing you're here, then.

Hmmph.

You know, if I were living in a Jane Austen novel, people would be calling me "accomplished". Nowadays, they just say "get a life".
