It's all fun and games until your father finds out you're an avid slasher.

This is amusing now. It wasn't when I fled in dire panic and made that frantic phone call, huddled in the restaurant bathroom, to Miranda.

"You said you liked to read short stories. What kind of stories? What happens in them, what do you like to read about?"

And no, the operative answers don't even reside in the same geographic hemisphere to the truth when it's your father asking the questions.

Don't I know it. Yeah, pretty scary stuff. And see, if we were having the conversation in English, I'm sure I could've spun pretty elaborations about slice of life narratives and the struggles of the human spirit, etc. where nothing I said would've resembled the keywords 'men' and 'sex.' Taboo is my bitch game, I'm telling you. But in Hungarian? I'm not as eloquent with it as I once was, ergo much stammering and hemming and hawing and it ended up that by the time I got back to the table, they were onto the impending war with Iraq, so the day was mine.

*shudder* Yeah, okay, maybe it's not entirely funny yet.
