Welcome to the last hours of 2010. If you haven’t completed your 2010 resolutions yet, you have a little bit of time left. I just want to say thank you to all my readers; it’s been a crazy year, and it’s been really exciting. Here’s one way you could make my New Year more awesome: tell others about i.am.GIANT and subscribe yourself!! Also, feel free to follow me on Twitter. There’s a button to the right, or search for me @danclair.
Anyways, on to today’s quote:
Gossip is when you hear something you like about someone you don’t. – Earl Wilson, 1907 – 1987
I try my hardest not to gossip. In fact, I really don’t like gossip much at all. I am curious to a fault, however. This results in me inadvertently causing others to gossip. I’m the type who just won’t stop asking questions until my curiosity has been satiated. For that reason, it’s probably best not to put me in a government job. Or really just anything that requires a whole lot of confidentiality. Darn my curiosity. Darn it’s difficult to type curiosity. (my hands slow down every time I go to type it)
It must be true that curiosity killed the cat, because curiosity slaps me in the face sometimes. Usually when I’m being too questiony, my friends will (thankfully) politely tell me to back the crap off. I’m never nosy with people I don’t know well. Probably because I’m too shy. I know I don’t come off as a shy person, but the first couple months of knowing someone, I am extremely reserved compared to later in the friendship. I think I’m trying to size them up. I don’t do it consciously; it’s really a reflex. Not that it’s served me well in any tangible way (hence, lack of girlfriend). I’m usually terrible at reading people of whom I am fond. It takes a good long while before I can tell how someone may react to a situation. Once I figure it out, though, it’s so great! I have several friends who I can almost guarantee what they would say or do in a particular context. This has served me well in improv, WHICH, by the way, I will be starting to do again on SUNDAY! My Level 1 improv class at iO is starting this Sunday at noon! It’s just too bad it’ll take me so long to get to know everyone. Gotta hit my stride asap.
Hey guess what. This is an abrupt ending to my post. Bye.
