I've given up talking to people about what I do (especially with the parents) and generally spend my evenings pretending to be in another profession, otherwise the conversation inevitably turns to "ooh - aren't you going to kill us all with black holes soon?".
P.S. I always get rather uncomfortable when I hear the words "prove" and "theory" in the same sentence. Normally I leave the proof to the mathematicians.
