I went for another buffet again today with my family, but it was less awesome than expected.

I just hate the politics of it. How only me or my sister could leave the table once at a time or it would spell awkward situation, how we must alternate conversation partners or someone would feel left out. Stuff like that. It shouldn't be so restricted. You would think that family conversations were spontaneous.

And I just don't know.

I just didn't derive the same kind of joy that I used to from food.
