I’m all digital. Don’t have to worry about where my notebook is, my tasks and calendar are available through my phone, tablet, computer. And I get reminded on time sensitive things. I can make templates for repeating tasks like my vacation checklist. I’m reminded on birthdays that are coming up so I have time for presents. I never feel like I’m forgetting anything. It’s perfect for how my brain works.
I was with a friend at a pub that had karaoke night. He’s the extroverted kind and got us into a group of girls. I sat there for a bit and sang quietly with the music, never thought much of my voice or myself for that matter. The girl next to me listened and told me „Holy shit you sing great!“. She got me to go on stage and it was so much fun! People loved it. We talked a while afterwards. She was clearly into me. It didn’t work out because she still had a boyfriend but damn did it lift my self esteem! And I got singing lessons for a year.
A birthday party of a friend a few years ago. I’m extremely bad keeping a conversation up with strangers who I have nothing in common with and that was basically every single person at this event (except for the friend who was very busy naturally). I was also the only person who was alone there and didn’t know anyone really. After a few brief awkward short conversations I started keeping to myself, playing on the phone, trying to look like I don’t care, but people noticed and my friend tried to put me in groups. But I could just not fit in with them and the fact that I would need this kind of help socializing made me feel even worse. I could not drink because I was there with the car, that would’ve loosened me up a bit. It was horrible. So I drove back home and watched a movie.
I don’t know the whole situation but reading this it could be he just happened to go the same way and maybe whistled because he wanted to make himself noticed by animals. But it sure seems creepy!
I wish Toonstruck would get its remaster and sequel.
