So I’ve been working on this goal every chance I get. I’ve been trying to make some small talk with strangers who just happen to be next to me. I don’t feel so awkward when I start up a conversation. Its not so bad actually once it starts.

Yesterday was another small step. A friend invited me come with her to watch a play of a friend of hers. There was going to be a group of friends from her dance crew there she wanted me to meet. I recognized two people in the audience when we got there, so my nerves got calmed down a bit. Got introduced to most of the friends, and always tried to start or keep up a conversation. Then we all went out to eat. I admit I was nervous the whole time, but no one noticed, and I think I did well.

*Side-note: The play we watched was Postmortem by Ken Ludwig. It was awesome. It was one big mystery and had me guessing for much of the time. If it ever plays in your local theater, check it out.
