Thank you for Rachel.
IAWL: wrote to Mia. Made a list of people in my life. Also made the UJE ring.
Verdict: good, I talked to Rachel over email, asked about her weekend. Told her about mine.
TWO: Today was the symposium. Socially: I noticed several things to say that popped into my head, but I kept them on my tongue rather than let them out. Then I realized they were good things to say, that I should have just said them. In the heat of the moment, I do not recollect these mnemonics. Everything goes to hell. For one thing, I found myself worrying about being smart, funny, confident, when really I should have been thinking of what I write on here every night: Trust instinct. Slade fused with Gateway and UJE. Also need to draw on these mnemonics if needed--the convo one, the throwaway one. Review day's goals in morning.
However, I need to at the same time embrace the person who came out at the banquet: sort of quiet, but has a dry, quiet, contemplative humor. Thoughtful yet humanistic, genuine yet playful.
TWO: I need to just talk to people. I hate that I objectify people and only want to talk to certain people. Why not everyone. Need to be much more active, less passive, in meeting people. Practice being Colonel Slade, Gateway, UJE. Practice imposing that feeling I had at J-house tonight, like I was actually a Slade like character.

About Me
- ComePassion
- “... we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. Yet everything happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number, really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, some afternoon that's so deeply a part of your being that you can't even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four or five times more, perhaps not even that. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless.” PB
