To start my story of a night of intense fun. I have to start with how I was feeling leaving for this haloween party/birthday party. I had a crush on a friend of mine and she's indian and I was going to ask her out this week, but I couldn't find the right time. I decided to just go to the party and test how strong I feel for her I guess. This party now was a mostly korean party and I thought by me liking this indian girl I got over my racial preferences for dating and was ready to find someone special through her, but then the amazingness of the party got to me.

I got there around ten and I started off with some nervous small talk at the beer pong table while the beer was getting set up. I was a little tense and nervous because I rarely go to parties and I didn't know what to do. I am still kind of new to the whole partying deal. I also barely had a costume (dress shirt for mafia) which made me feel more out of place I think until my friend helped me with some makeup to give me a darker look which ended up with me looking either like a goth, woman, or mafia. Anyway, I needed to relax so I got a few drinks and I must say, that helped a ton. I started to talk with people relaxed and had conversations with some girls. I've never actually been so sociable with girls as I was that night. A lot of them knew my brother so I guess that helped a little, but I had the best conversations with girls who had no idea who he was ironically. I really enjoyed myself, I played flip cup for the first time and played 2 rounds of beer pong, but best of all was I talked to this really cute korean girl.

She had a red beret on and she was a french person for halloween I think I don't know. Anyway, I first saw her when I was in line for the bathroom, she looked at me and smiled; we exchanged hi's and parted ways. I saw her again when I went to the line for the bathroom, this time, I started a conversation with her. I am not going to say we really clicked because I was just really sociable and talked comfortably with everyone, but I enjoyed talking to her. We sat down in the beer pong table room and just talked. I didn't dance at all because I wanted to talk more and that's when I realized parties are more fun when you talk rather than dance. Anyway, the reason this moment talking with her was important is that I have never had such a great conversation with a girl at a party environment. The first party I went to with my brother I tried talking with some girls, but I couldn't keep the conversation going, but this time was different, hence the significance of this party. Anyway, the fact that I had a great conversation with a really cute girl just makes me so happy and amazed that that actually happened. Her name was Sunny. I loved talking to her and I'd say this was a huge moment for me.

My preference for Korean girls was renewed that night. I rarely hang out with other koreans and hanging out with those koreans at the party made me realize I love hanging out with koreans. So I don't think I'm going to ask the Indian girl out now. Not after meeting such a cute korean girl whose number I wish I got. If I have such thoughts like these I shouldn't ask her out then. That night was a night I will never forget. I am glad I went.

Pick up lines?

So do pick up lines ever really work? I say yes because there are an infinite number of pick up lines not just the corny ones like "Did it hurt? (I think the rest is pretty well known now)" or something about looking in the mirror and seeing the most beautiful thing in the world.

Pick up lines are so narrowly defined as corny lines guys use to get a girl and now people make jokes out of pick up lines. However, true pick up lines stem from your own unique style, words, and most of all feelings. Pick up lines are probably more well defined as lines that allow you to "pick up" a girl not corny ones that are just as a joke that get you a look of scorn on the girl's face. In the luckiest of situations if you can get a girl with a corny pick up line, kudos to you.

How do pick up lines "pick up" a girl? It's all in the confidence. If you have confidence in yourself enough to tell a girl how you feel and she accepts you, you just used a pick up line. Doesn't matter how cliche it may seem as long as it gets you the girl, pick up line has been established. Confidence is a powerful tool in any situation.

Oh one thing pick up lines don't promise is a long term relationship. Honestly, if you think that you're going to have a great future with some girl you meet for the first time that is the wrong way to think. My dad was the one who told me this haha. If you are looking for something serious, it takes time and pick up lines are just the start of a possible relationship, so I advise not to go around hoping to get a girlfriend or boyfriend in one day of meeting someone otherwise you'll freeze up and any hopes of confidence is shot out the window and into the Atlantic Ocean.

Confidence ftw to sum it all up. This goes for guys and girls, confidence is a big factor in first impressions, especially of the opposite sex. I like to think that with confidence comes more confidence because of the awesome results you get from it. What do you think of pick up lines? And out of curiousity, has anyone been "picked up" by a corny pick up line? I think it'd be fun to experiment if they actually do work.

P.S. Pick up lines do not promise a girlfriend or boyfriend.

The sound of laughter is honestly one of my favorite things in the world. I love hearing people laugh. Everyone has a unique laugh and I enjoy hearing every distinct laugh. Laughter is also one of the best ways to befriend someone and make yourself feel better too. I personally feel happiest when I make others laugh. It is a joy and delight to initiate laughter in someone. So in a more general sense, I love spreading joy and happiness. It makes me feel great and others feel great. There isn't a soul in the world who doesn't enjoy a good laugh.

My college life is starting off awesomely. Unlike my freshmen year I actually went out of my room and introduced myself to other people in my dorm. I still haven't met anyone from the higher floors yet, but whatever meeting first floor people was cool. I met up with old friends again and just had a blast. I realized that I do have close friends who just want to hang out with me as well. Cynicism never gets you anywhere so I should just stop that now. I am excited for tomorrow as I'm going to play some beach volleyball all day. So at the moment, I am sitting in my room writing this entry and I keep thinking that I should introduce myself some more before too much time passes. It's going to be fun as long as I TRY to go out and meet people and not be a coward. So here I go!
