Rite Aid Cashier

I've started realizing that a big part of this project is not coming off as crazy. It is much easier to introduce yourself after a longer conversation. However, it is difficult in everyday activities to have a longer conversation with at total stranger. If you're not traveling or meeting friends of friends or stuck in an elevator, actually introducing yourself to strangers appears to be weird.

I went into the Rite Aid today to purchase some toiletries. I'm behind on my count, even though I technically introduced myself to two people on my day of traveling, so I was hoping to find two people. When it was my turn in line, I introduced myself to the cashier. The woman gave me a look that was in between a smile covering her thought of "CRAAAAZZZYYY" and a horrified gleam in her eyes. Needless to say, I'm finding it difficult to work this introduction thing and I'm only a week or so into the project.

I still need to find another person. I'm looking forward to my improv class next Saturday, which will hopefully bring a bunch of introductions.
