Who, me? No, of course not, that's ridiculous, it's absolutely preposterous! Nothing could be further from the truth, it's all rumors and lies! (Why, what have you heard? You haven't heard anything, have you? They're talking about me, I just know they are. Listen, if they're saying my name, it's all made up, I haven't done a thing, it's a conspiracy, they're all out to get me, I'm a scapegoat, they always go after the innocent ones, it's all part of a big cover-up, it's a case of mistaken identity, I have an alibi, I've never even been in that part of town, there are 20 people who can vouch for me, that's not me in the photos, they're doing all kinds of things with computers these days, I don't even match that description.)
Not exactly, but I go through enthusiasms or passions which last as long as an individual project or perhaps a few years. When engaged the concentration tends to be intense. If someone is kind enough to take an interest, they might get more of an answer than they hoped for. Mostly I try to keep it as brief as their interest allows.
