cupcakes. delicious, delicious cupcakes

It's not--necessarily--that I need a day devoted to antisocialism (no, not the political movement). It's just--I feel the need to point out that vocal inflections of pirates get a day, but rampant dislike of human contact does not. Granted, these are not similar and it's kind of a ludicrous argument, but think symbolically. Pirates should not get days antisocial people do not. Happy people get these days, and seriously, do happy people need another reason to be "happy"?

Here are things I would do if I had such a day.

1.) Abruptly stop speaking mid-sentence, then leave.
2.) Abruptly leave while someone else is mid-sentence.
3.) Make cupcakes.
4.) Hum comfortably to Theory of a Deadman while playing sudoku on my phone outside.

It's not that I don't do these things already. I just want legitimization and a party, really. A very strange party, with very little socialization but a high proportion of sugar and default wireless internet.

Actually, this wouldn't be strange so much as ideal.

Great idea but I am concerned about possible commercialization of the day with more official acknowledgment: the sales (crowds), parades (more crowds), t-shirts (at least no necessary eye-contact). Though if it resulted in a 3 day weekend of reflection and frosting, the more the merrier (used in the loosest way possible).

I'm not fond of the commercializatoin aspect either. *frowns* I just don't feel Hallmark is reading for greeting card stating Happy Antisocialibility!

...though I like them.

I don't know. I once made myself a notice to pin to my desk partition that said, 'Hi. You can't tell right now, but my non-existent office door is CLOSED.' I think there's a marketing opportunity there.

T-shirt for the day:

I'm all for one day where it's OK to not constantly be expected to make eye contact and small talk.
