(His name was NuNu!)
The conversation that I had with him lasted no more than five minutes. It was very basic, yet if I had waited and drawn out the conversation a little more, I would have gathered enough information to bust out a post on him. My point? I am not really getting to know these people. Obviously, it would take a longgg time to actually get to know someone. I mean I live with two of my best friends from last year and I still don't feel like I really know them. When I mentioned my desire for superpowers in the first post that I wrote- superpowers to learn about every person - I meant learn about them fully. About their pasts, their goals and their favorite colors.
So I want to get to know these people better, but I don't have a lot of time to meet them. (Can't exactly sit down for an hour-long conversation.) Where is the middle ground?!?!
Some of my solutions are:
-asking better questions
-allocating more time to learn about them
And..that's it. Any suggestions? I mean as of right now I am pretty sure Mallory is the only one checks my blog on the regular but if you happen upon this post, I would really appreciate your thoughts on the matter.
**Also - I plan to venture away from BU people soon enough. Hopefully I'll explore different areas of Boston. And of course I plan on continuing this over Thanksgiving break so I'll find some SoCal people too!
maybe if you got their number? and plan to have like, an end-of-the-month dinner with them somewhere fun, like the upper crust...it can be like the celebration thing for completing your blog,
ReplyDeleteAlso, add them on facebook. theres no way better to get to know a person than to stalk their life on facebook, and they'll most likely do the same to you =]
