I Took Your Advice, I Wrote Mr. Blue Back.
Two FBC posts in one day? Yep. It happens. Okay, so, this first one is just a quick update about Mr. Blue. Remember him? Well, I took your advice (i.e. I wrote him back and I asked about the non-smiling pictures.) Here’s what he had to say … “Yes, I do smile, but I have a hard time smiling genuinely on command. It (to me) ends up looking phony. So I smile when I feel like smiling, and that doesn’t usually happen when I’m taking pictures of myself to put online, alas.” Hmmm. I have to think about that. I see his point, but it doesn’t necessarily disprove my “no smile = sadness (or bad teeth) theory” …
At any rate, I’ll update again with a fuller post in a bit. I wanna tell you about my crazy weekend with my friend K-Mac. She came in from Chicago for a quick visit and we had a blast!

I can definitely relate to that. When I used to wait tables it was so annoying when the restaurant manager would get this huge grin on her face and tell me, “SMILE!” I wanted to tell her, “I’m making $2.13/hr, woman. I don’t feel like smiling!” That’s when I knew I needed to find a career that didn’t involve working with the general public.
