I have nothing to report except that I finally grew a pair and started a conversation--a real conversation--with José.
I marched right into Rita's room where he was watching TV and said, "Can I bother you for a minute? I don't know you well, and I don't really know anyone, and I want to talk to you." And then we discussed tennis, Dr. House, and music, and I tried to explain what bluegrass was (music from the Appalachian Mountains with banjo, violin, and complex harmony, and kind of like country but older..?) And some of what he said I didn't understand, but I don't care. Gold star for me.
From this moment henceforth, no more dickin' around; I'm going to force my friendship on everyone and they damn well better accept it. So there!
Gee-na! Gee-na! Gee-na! (Thanks for the male genetalia references. I'm feeling a testosterone rush.) Here's your sticker and a gold star!
