Okay, so I already have run into the same problem with this blog as with the other 2 I tried to create. It is now almost a week later and I am finally following up with the last one. I am not really a person of habit so adding in a daily ritual of my "blog hour" will be a difficult addition. We will start this slowly with perhaps a weekly blog of highlights. In advance, I will tell you that things may come out in a very scattered way and so I may tell you what happened Thursday and then go back to something crazy on Monday morning and then holy shit you have to hear about Friday. Sorry for that.
So starting with Friday, which I deemed National Radical Honesty Day. It all started when my friend Adam forwarded to me an article about a man in Virginia who subscribed to the idea of Radical Honesty. Imagine, sitting in a coffeeshop and the waitress asks you about the coffee she just served you and you can't stand it. Most people would suffer through it or kindly ask for another cup. Not this guy. He would tell her that is tasted like shit. He believes that relationships become very real and it is extremely liberating. Adam added that this philosophy would not work for him and I agree. Adam is arguably one the funniest people I have ever met. No one would ever think he was serious anyway even if he did walk around practicing Radical Honesty. In a way it could work for him I suppose. Anyway, I tried it and found the most liberating moment while enjoying a few beverages in downtown Orlando. His name was Steve and he was one of those lingering guys when a group of girls go out. We didn't shoo him off because he was semi-interesting. Until he laughed. My friends Aarti and Kristen seem to recall the laugh vividly and for some odd reason, I have no recollection of this "girly laugh" that he presented to us. Apparently though, when they told me about it, I commented how they should tell him. You know, in honor of National Radical Honesty Day. So evidently I did but no one can seem to remember how he reacted to it. Regardless, I can't help but wonder if he went home and was experimenting with various laughs. Or he could of course be at home with his computer and the various laughing sound effects, mimicking them to see which sounded best. I wish him the best of luck on his search for the perfect laugh.
Last night, I went to a friend's family party and had a great time talking to a girl I had met in passing a few times. It is funny because we talked for hours and similar to the way things would go with a guy you meet, I was hoping to exchange numbers and hang out again. Although I have had momentary lapses of reason and considered becoming a lesbian after numerous difficult break-ups, this was purely a friendly thing, I swear. With no sexual attraction getting in the way, we were able to have a real conversation that lasted for hours. No alterior motives, just friends and I have to say, it was quite refreshing. It is hard for me to meet girls and so this was so great. We laughed as we left and were still leaving with a phone number.
I will try my best to write again sooner than a week but no promises.
