The idea of vow can also be applied to the self too. It sounds like you've made one to yourself. Not a pinky promise. And "sister wives" is so totally cringe. Yikes.

I changed the title of the piece and used a different photo thanks to your comment. We all need editors!

I hear you and I'm mostly oblivious to social embarrassment but I don't mind other people being embarrassed for me if they like. I'm more inclined to be embarrassed about getting caught stealing the cookies from the cookie jar or something of that nature.

Someone seemed to be trying to embarrass me tonight but it didn't work and now I see clearly who they are. We were all talking about the difficulties we have with technical stuff but it wasn't a serious discussion, just banter.

At one point this conversation takes an unexpected turn and I'm completely naive. My friend said to the guy sitting across from us (who was speaking to me) that I didn't understand what he was saying or how his mind worked. The guy across from us said that I'd have to get my mind in the gutter.

I said to him in all honesty that I simply couldn't do that. So he gestures with both hands as if to place his head in his lap and says that I have to get my mind to go places that are really low. I told him that's impossible because my mind is filled with helium, but he kept insisting that I should try. I told him that would mean that I'd have to let the air out of my head and then he changed the subject.
