Whenever I try to tell a story, I forget halfway what I was trying to say and wander off topic. People keep waiting for the punchline or the moral of the story, but it never gets there. 
So instead, it's just "stuff that happened to me", which bores even me to death.

I can tell stories about crazy things that have happened, but then it is interesting. I know two people who tell me what they did from the beginning of the day when I see them. Its a bunch of information about them being 5 minutes late to work bla bla... (I wont torture you further), and I dont find it difficult- other than boring to follow such stories and the only problem I would have telling it myself, is that it bores also me to death.

Sometimes I tell that I was thinking about something completely different and therefore I didnt listen, which is the half truth. Anyway, when I joke around with aspies, NTs get silent. Some NTs have tried very hard to follow us, but they just aren't funny, so it is sometimes awkward.
Haha. I've seen that before. Whenever I'm speaking with my Aspie friend and her NT dad is there, it's always like my Aspie friend and I are on a different wavelength. We go on and on about some topics... Her dad will sometimes try to join in, sometimes with hilarious results. That said, I can make conversation with him too, and then my friend gets quiet. I feel like I'm bilingual sometimes, able to speak both "languages".
Cool
