Story Teller
Let's be honest, each of us really only have four or five truly entertaining stories. Stories that are genuinely funny or compelling and that we know exactly how to tell.
Right?
So maybe it's just me, but I get SO EXCITED when I make a new friend and I get to tell that person one of my four or five genuinely entertaining stories.
This happened to me the other day. I was grabbing dinner with a new friend, and he mentioned something about driving a stick shift, and in my mind I was like, "Oh ya... that reminds me of the time my exboyfriend and I..." and then I realized that I had an AMAZING story that I was going to get to tell for the first time in FOREVER!
... sigh... hello old friend.
But then, even though I'd told the story approximately 7.5 billion times (once to every person on earth), I somehow don’t tell it right and it fell flat.
Tragedy.
Ya. It was like the conversational equivalent of walking into a room with a big cake, but then tripping and dropping it on the ground.
...The difference of course is that I couldn't scream at a person until they grabbed a fork and ate my story off of the floor.
