Friend
Do you introduce yourself by your job, or by the choir first?
Friend
I used to introduce myself by my job. Now I mention the choir first. Leisure is where you sound like yourself.
Friend
When people ask what you do, do you answer with paid work only?
Friend
No. I answer with both now. It confuses them in a useful way.
Friend
Would you drop a hobby that had become a second performance?
Friend
Yes. The moment a hobby feels like a brand, I want out.
Friend
Do we keep the choir because it is still slightly embarrassing and joyful?
Friend
Yes, we keep the choir because it is still slightly embarrassing and joyful. If it were impressive, I would distrust it.
Friend
After choir, shall we walk home the long way?
Friend
Yes, after choir let's walk home the long way. That is when we sound like ourselves.
