I went outside my comfort zone in a couple of ways today. I went out to lunch with a friend who I don't often hang out alone with, Mark. He is a really good guy and the conversation was not as awkward as I was worried about. I gave him his random Christmas present (I give gifts randomly throughout the year to save myself money in December) and returned a movie of his I had promised to return from a mutual friend months ago. We are both movie lovers so, the talk comes easily for 45 minutes or so.
The other thing I tried to do was introduce myself to a young lady who runs a tea shop in downtown and offer to host a trivia night. I kind of hate being the center of attention except when it comes to trivia contests. Unfortunately, her mother was running the shop today. I came home and wrote her on facebook. I kind of felt like a character in a Victorian era novel needing a letter of introduction from my friend Aubrey. By throwing her name around, maybe I can make some strides. According to facebook, she saw the message seven minutes ago but has not responded. Probably trying to contain her glee, right?
And that has been my day outside the house. I came home to find no one here, which suits me just fine. Time to relax with some Netflix and comics. Back in my comfort zone.
