Occasionally, my friend makes the really dire mistake of asking me about something that I really love once, which I answer briefly, and then she makes the biggest mistake of asking a follow up question and then I will not shut up for 45 minutes.  

It’s like I have all this fannish crap that I can’t get out most of the time, I unleash it on her, but there is no back and forth, so it’s just like releasing pressure on a valve and then sealing it back up again.
