>go to "Ulysses" pub in financial district one evening, alone. My plan is to have a few drinks and some food, and make a good rapport with the staff to become a regular, to honor James Joyce.
>ask for a Guinness. It was my first time ordering a Guinness. I'm sitting directly in front of the keg, like it's poured right in front of my hand. Female bartender pours it and walks away. I did not know it was a dark beer, for some reason I thought it was a "milk stout", so like creamy colored, which it was at this moment, and I assumed she walked away because she thought I'd take it out from under the tap myself.
>I begin drinking it, and it's great, tastes like iced coffee to me.
>I gaze proudly at the mural of James Joyce.
>female bartender alarmingly asks why I am drinking foam, I tell her I honestly thought that's how the beer looked, and she looks at me like I'm crazy.
>later on I ask her "so are you a fan of James Joyce?" and she looks at the TV of the football game and says "what team is he on?" and I uncontrollably laugh in a pretty condescending way, looking around like other people heard it.

It's exhausting to talk constantly, but I've been thinking about getting discord for too long now. God, I just want to listen to people talk to me and then respond in kind, is that too much to ask? I just want to talk about how the old man from Catch 22 appeals to me, even though he's immoral and maybe talk about how I draw the trumpet from the lot 49 everywhere excessively AAAAAAAAAAAH

Kek I did the same thing with a Guinness that hadn't been poured completely yet at a hotel in Dublin. I had jet leg and had been walking around the city all day, so I was exhausted and couldn't think straight. The bartender poured it and walked away and I was thinking that there was no way it was right but grabbed it and started drinking it anyway. Was really embarrassing when he pointed out that it wasn't done and everyone in the bar turned and looked at me like I was a retard, but I was too tired to give a shit.
