FEBRUARY: The Month of the Yellow Brick Road

My first month in Korea has passed too quickly, and I am now standing at the First of February. I have labeled this month: 'The Month of the Yellow Brick Road.' Because... like Dorothy, from The Wizard of Oz, I am going to make friends as I am on it.

Potential Friends: The stupid one, the heartless one, and the wimpy one.

I will not only make friends by happenstance, but I am going to diligently seek new faces and attempt to create friendships out of thin air. This is going to involve me leaving my comfort zone and facing the possibility (more like probability) of rejection. I will be imploring the use of internet advice, morning pep talks, music <= after you get the thunder you can do anything, excessive creepy smiles, head nods, enthused interest, and after five pm alcohol.

I will be looking for friends on all fronts.

• Local Bars, Facebook, Foreign Bars, Language Exchange Sites, CouchSurfers, Anybody within yelling distance, Gym, Koreans, People that stare too long, Other bloggers, Whiteys, Old People, College People, People that look me in the eyes, Lotte Mart, Slow walkers

BEWARE!!! If you fit into any of these categories, I will start a conversation with no clear ending point. This will lead to a noticeable silence. We may or may not make it to the other side.

February also brings other firsts, such as: 

• I JUST GOT PAID!!! 
• Gym Membership 
• Less Work!?!?...  
• Ru Ford and Trot G: Almost Mediocre Mix (working title)

Also, the saga continues with,

• Hives in Korea: The Diet
