We had our annual church picnic last night. It's always nice to see your friends and catch up. Before the fried chicken and hot dog feast began, our pastor prayed and encouraged us to find someone we didn't know and introduce ourselves. In my head I thought, "sweet, I can do that...no problem." I swung my head around a few times during the evening gauging "this" person and "that" person wondering if they'd think I was weird, strange or obnoxious if I tried to become their new "insta-friend." Then, as quickly as the night started, it ended. We had to leave and get our sobbing, filthy, dirty child home to bed.
I never met a new person last night and it totally bugs me. I even consider myself a decently out-going gal who isn't normally afraid to instigate a conversation. It's just so darn easy to stay IN your comfort zone and find a million reasons not to do otherwise. Well, in a small way, I hope that this feeling continues to bug me so maybe I'll be a bit more apt to meet someone new next time. There's always NEXT time...right?

Um, ya...I found a little time after the church picnicto play Guitar Hero. So far, it's a love-hate relationship.
I now understand why rock stars want to smash their guitars.
2 thing(s) you said:
Brenda, you are a rock star! Don't be discouraged about getting bood off stage -- happens to the best of us rock stars. ;)
You look sexy playing the guitar...
...and maybe no one wanted to meet you at the picnic because you were "gaging" them instead of "gauging" LOL
