A List Of Really Great Conversation Starters

A List Of Really Great Conversation Starters (as told by your favorite socially awkward llama):

(I would also like to mention that all of these I have either done, thought about doing, or seen someone else do.)
  • "I know this is kind of personal, but what are your opinions on quinoa?"
  • (while holding a golf ball wrapped in tin foil) "Want to hold my dragon egg?"
  • When the loudspeaker at the Big Scary High School calls for somebody to come down to the office, go down to the office and pretend to be the person they called for. Identity theft is a great way to make friends! 
  • Hold your hand out for a fist bump while saying "High five?"
  • Offer somebody a smiley face sticker!
  • Walk into a room and say "Hydrate or diedrate!" to remind people to drink water. 
  • Ask someone to rate something random on a scale of 1-10. I find that people typically have a lot of things to say on velcro and celery. Celery is a very good topic of debate.
  • Squint at someone until they say something to you.
  • "Everyone goes to jail at least once. What crime would you be in for?"

Emergency Contact

It's the middle of Tech Week , so I don't really have time to read, but I managed to finish Emergency Contact by M. H. K. Choi anyway, because it's extremely overdue. This book is literally just Rainbow Rowell's Fangirl. No joke. Rainbow Rowell actually blurbed it ("blurbed" is totally a word, right?), and I can see why she liked it- it's basically just her own book. The main character, Penny, is a bit of a sort of awkward, introverted nerd, but still decently pretty. She's heading off into her freshman year of college. Her roommate and her roommate's bestfriend are both pretty and extroverted and fond of pushing Penny into social situations. Penny meets a guy. They text a lot. And also, she has a broken relationship with her mother and is writing a big thing because she is at college to be a writer. So yeah, it's just pretty much Fangirl . I was a little bit disappointed about the heterosexualness, because while Fangirl had a wonder...

Afterworlds- S. Westerfeld

It's finally time for another edition of "What's Delilah Been Reading?"! After reading approximately 1 book in 3 months, Librarian Lisa knocked some sense into me and I finished 3 books over break. To quickly talk about the other two: Quiet Girl in a Noisy World: An Introverts Story - D. Tung This one's a small little graphic novel! It's short, but adorable and was nicely relatable, though straighter than I was hoping for. (Don't) Call Me Crazy- 33 Voices Start the Conversation about Mental Health - K. Jensen This was a collection of pieces from different authors about their experiences with mental health. Some parts were kind of boring, and I think it needed more poetry. The main reason I read it was because Adam Silvera had a piece in it. His piece was amazing. I love Adam Silvera. Also, the rest was pretty good. But! Back to the point. I was so desperate to start reading again that I took whatever Lisa recommended and just went in and starte...
