    Was feeling awkward, checking out your blog from the meet n’ greet and seeing a lot of makeup stuff. But then I found this gem! Followed! Totally like the Pearl Harbor comment. I’d probably suggest that a cloud probably is hiding an armed UFO, but either works.

        It’s something I’m going to, and subconsciously have been, working on, in social situations. I really hate how unrewarding small talk is, and love personal stories. Going to meet a bunch of online friends in a couple weeks, and soon going to my first screening at a film festival, so I’m going to keep this mentality in mind for sure.

        It went well, although I didn’t have much chance for social interaction. Hanging out with my friend Zack, who is a master at conversation. Went into a couple of places for food and drink. He guesses the man that served us coffee was a dancer, and he was… he encouraged him to get back into it, and asked him for an email if he ever did. Then at a Greek restaurant, asks the waitresses if they’re artists, and they both were. I think he wants to commission one that does inflatable art (http://colettealiman.com) to make an inflatable sofa for him. Fun times. I stick to at least being approachable and friendly.
