Interaction on the train.

Older Man: (Motions to offer his seat to me)
Me: No thanks, I'm fine. (Smile to myself about how nice people are.)
Older man: I like your shoes.
Me: Thank you.
Older man: Did I buy them for you?
Me: Uh, no. (Smile uncomfortably.)
Older man: At least you laughed! She laughed.
Me: (Exit train 7 stops early.)

The question-- attempted friendliness? worst pick up line ever? delusion before a violent outburst? call for help? an offer to buy me more shoes?
At that moment I did not have the patience for any of it.
The problem with interacting with people is that it goes differently than I would have written it.
In my imagination, I drop fewer things.
New life philosophy:
If you don't have something nice to do, just go to bed.
You know that you have touched the world in some meaningful way when you are quoted by someone you have never met.
My contribution to humankind: "I don't trust saleswomen whose thighs don't touch."
Realizations
- I would like to get in shape while never having to leave my couch.
- I would like to be in a relationship without having to do things I don't feel like doing.
- My life is so filled with things I should be doing that instead I take lots of breaks so I don't get too stressed out.

At any moment I am both moving forward and backward.
Moonwalking through life?
I know that I'm evolving to a higher plane of existence when I start to notice that my thoughts are unreasonable before attaching to them.
I literally had this thought today: "I've become too used to luxury when humans existed without all these unnecessary items for centuries. I should start sleeping on the floor." Good one.
Sometimes it seems like everything in my life belongs to one of four categories: moldy, wrinkly, late or lost.

Some mornings the moment a hair falls in my face, I spot a bobby pin.

In-the-field training = going into the field without knowing what you're doing

Turns out life is all about "fake it 'til you make it."
Unfortunately I am very new at faking it.
