271: Y'know what they say...
I should have used this title yesterday, because it would have been more topical, but I was dead tired last night, and it certainly isn't a better hour tonight (currently 1:26AM), but if I don't get this story / bit out of my head it's going to be bothering me, so I'm going to talk about it instead of talking about today (I'll still talk about today a little bit).
The thing they say is that you can either be good at bowling or at sex, and I... happen to be really good at bowling. I bring up the saying though, because it became a joke among the crew that went out last night (at my "expense") because I was approached by not one but two different people from my bowling class only for them to tell me how cool and good at bowling I was, which was totally unexpected, but very fun.
The two people that approached me were both also pretty good, they both gave it a good spin and put up good numbers. They were also both definitely at least somewhat tipsy when we had the interactions, which I think only really led to them telling the whole story and embellishing a little bit, one of the two seemed to think I was the coolest person to have ever lived. We were sitting at a table in the Frog and Peach (pub) when it happened, and he literally turned to all of my friends at the table and said something along the lines of "nonono you don't understand, this guy is so cool". My friends, being my friends, said something like "we do understand", but it was a really fun and truly surprising set of interactions.
I think the constant reassurances from important people in my life are actually starting to have a positive impact on my self-image (woe is me).
