Nineteenth Post -- Meeeh

I am hardwired to go. GOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGO. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
"Don't stop, moo-ooo-ven"
There is simply too much energy in this skinny little frame of mine to stop moving. When I do stop for an extended period of time, I get unenergetic. I also really like people. I'm kind of a people person, actually. I'm still pretty socially awkward at times, but with great practice, I've gotten better. I actually said "Hi, how are you?" to the lady who sat down next to me on the plane. She even had a book! That's ALWAYS a sign to shut up. But she was very kind, and we had a decent sized conversation about what we both were currently doing with our lives. It was quite a milestone. Then there was a guy carrying an electric guitar, and I asked him what it was, and we talked for a few minutes whilst walking.
It's almost as if when I talk to people, they talk back. An astounding discovery, and a courageous step in the right direction. I think I'll try to talk to people more often.
