Day 4:

[Halffull]

Still getting AA. Need to stop getting AA.

But went to the mall today. Had AA at the beginning, so I decided to just start out being social. This one's one for the record books boys. I seem to
attract crazy offbeat awesome people wherever I go... Maybe cause I'm a crazy offbeat awesome person.

Set 1: Cute kid on escalator
Started out with this cute little kid that didn't want to get on the escalator. I told him it would be just like a ride... ready, one, two, three. He jumped on, good shit. His little sister farther up on the escalator smiled to me. I waved.

What's your name?
Estrella
That's a good name estrella, watch your step now...

I move on.

See a store I've never seen before in the mall, full of board games. Sweet. I pop in, ask the salesguy to recommend shit. Not in the customer frame but just as social guy. He gives me his personal recommendations. I look at the games, pretty cool shit. Then leave.

Set 2: HBExfoliation
Chick who's selling handlotions 'opens' me. She starts kinoing me and telling me about the product.

So How'd you get this job?
My brother does it... here, rub this on your hands
Oh, does he own this business?
No, you know the dead sea?... okay, no wash your hands under this
Yes.
This product is from the dead sea.
You're from israel?
Yes, you should come to israel some time
I'm jewish, so I plan to at some point
Oh, you're a jew?
Yep, my family is
What's your jewish name? ... okay, rub this on lyour skin
Mattateyahoo (I have no idea how to spell it)
Oh, like my father.
That's cool... so what brings you to america?
STudying... Okay, so you see how all that dead skin comes off, You're beautiful
I know... but I'm beautiful anyway
Matteyahhoo, You are very beautiful, but you see this acne...
I think I'm beautiful... even WITH THE acne
(She can't keep a straight face, and just starts cracking up)
I don't think I'm going to need this product... it was nice talking to you tho.


Set 3: Bible Freaks

I see a set of two hot girls, an ug, and a guy sitting closing their eyes and sort of swaying. I just glance, then walk back, stand there while they sway.

Hello!
What is this?
We're praying
You're... Praying?
Mhmmm
so who are you?
(They go around and give me their names), the ringleader asks my name (This handshake was the only kino of the ENTIRE set... I kept thinking about locking in and getting a better vantage to kino from... but I wasn't sure if I WANTED to lock in with them)
I'm Halffull... I really like your glasses by the way. (To HBquietgirl)
Thank you.
They sort of... match your facial structure.
Thanks
Oh... and your glasses are cool too man (everybody laughs)
So where are you from Halffull?
Here there's a bunch of fluff talk, me sharing values, finding commonalities vibing... important stuff but not stuff that you guys will find interesting for me to write up. I'll just give a few relevant tidbits.

-Talked about going to a private school, and how much worse guys were when they were by themselves. Got confirmation from the guy how different guys are alone.
-Talked about how crazy this girl's eyes were. She had the most INTENSE blue eyes, and I told her. Buying Temp SHOT UP. (okay, I know this sounds chode, but the completely random way in which it was said made it obvious I was not being one).
-Found commonalities in interests and passions.

Now here's were it gets interesting.

So do you let god into your heart?
I don't really believe in god. I just, don't see it
We believe that god is evident, in relationships, and passion, and miracles everday(something to that affect)
Do you guys believe in christianity or just god in general?

(at this point in the conversation, ringleader hot chick starts randomly spasming and making short noises... I think she was feeling god's presence or something)

We believe in jesus
That's interesting... so what makes you believe in that god as opposed to other gods(Note, this sounds combatitive, but I was being completely CURIOUS about this, and it came out in my voice and body language)
We believe that the passion you can see in christians is evidence enough...
I just think that all those things are possible, compassion,and creativity, with just HUMAN spirit, and god is not needed.
WE believe that jesus allows for that...
I have a word for you... Honesty. You are REALLY HONEST, and I believe that if you are completely honest before god, he will accept you.
(Guy in set) if you say right now, I don't believe in god, give me a sign, I bet he will accept you.

I don't believe in god... give me a sign
MHMMMMH! (she spasms for a while)
Well, it was nice to meet you all... let me get your names again. (Get everybodies name)
And what was yours?
You forgot my NAME?!
Well you...
Andrea..!...?
(Laughing)
I'll tell you what andrea... if I call you, are you going to forget my name then?
I think I can manage
It's matt... let me see your phone
(I put my number in under Matt (Honesty Boy)
I call my phone, which isn't on me. Don't really want the number... she's crazy.


I talk to somebody, else, forget who or what about, just being social.
Look at my watch, realize it's time to go.

Head back to my mom... but she says my dad's not done yet... five more minutes.


Start Heading back, who should show up but:


Set 2A: HBExfoliation

Mattateyahoo!
Ahhh, good job, you remembered my name... but I forgot yours .
HBexfoliation
And what's your last name?

Okay HBexfiolation exfoliation... I'm going to remember that
(looks at me expectantly)
Do you have a cellphone?
Yes...
Do you have a pen?
Yes...
(Smiling) Do you have a piece of paper?
(Laughing) YEs... (she takes them out)
(I write Exfoliating girl on the top of the piece of paper and underline it) Here, write your number

Number closed.



Walk around, see a set with a 9 and some guy rubbing his hands together.

You got the sea salt treatment man?
Yah man, she did my NAIL...
Crazy shit bro... look, she did my arms, one's supposed to look DIFFERENT from the other
Haha good shit
What's your name man?
ChillKid, and you?
Halffull... (we shake hands) wow man we're like... exfoliation brothers or something
Yah man I don't even know what
Yah man I saw these kids like swaying before... went over to talk to them... they were fuckin praying[/color]
In the MIDDLE OF THE MALL?
(at this point the nine is IOIing all over the place, attracted to my personality and state)
Yah, man it was fuckin CRAZY!

I like down at my watch... two minutes past time. Shit.

Alrite man, nice to meet you
I start walking to my mom... who I realize is like five stores down, I sit with her.

I glance back, and the nine is just STARING at me. I make eye contact, she holds it for a minute... but I have no idea what to do. The group walks away.

Pretty good day all in all. Still had AA tho, couldn't really open any sets untill I got into state. Tryed the slapping thing, didn't help much, but I'll keep at it.

Hey,

Great post bro. Show how just going out and being social with all kinds of people is a great way to go through life. You're making opportunities for yourself.

Doesn't seem like your AA really got in your way.

The best way to disappate AA is to approach some sets that you have no interest in gaming. Being physically active helps too. I've found when I run up to a girl to approach her, any anxiety is gone.
