So... How's Life?

"So... How's Life?" a quote that if you are my friend you have probably heard numerous times. It is pretty much the ultimate awkward moment killer. Though, in a way it makes it more awkward. If there is a silence or lull in conversation, or maybe someone said something odd and you want to break the tension, use this never fail technique. With the prolonged "So...." said more like, "Soooooo..." Well, that looks like it's said like the word sue... you know it's said like the word sew. So, (haha) as I was saying the prolonged "so" points out that fact that it is awkward and makes it known to everyone that you agree with them in the awkwardness. (It works much better than just saying "Awkward!" because if everyone else doesn't think it is awkward it doesn't make it awkward and it makes you less embarrassed.) Then after the "so" you add the "How's life?" making it a question. You can answer that in a one word answer though, such as, "good" or "fine." You can then later ask why life is "good" or "fine." And if someone says their day is not so good or fine you can discuss why. And if none of that works, there is usually a bit of laughter over the pointing out of the awkwardness which later leads to conversation and potential for this quote to become an inside joke. And if none of that works you can just nod your head and say "That's good" to their answer (if they do answer) and maintain the awkwardness... (Yeah it has a few flaws but it makes up for it!) It's very useful as you can see. I use it many situations now, even non-awkward ones. I hope you will too!

P.S. Yes, I know that was just informative. I didn't feel like talking about myself today. I feel like I've been coming across conceited. (Which I am not! I dislike conceitedness... if that's a word... I think it is since my spell check isn’t yelling at me for it...) I'm going to post this link on Facebook eventually; I just need to work up the courage to actually put myself out there. I have no readers currently so that might be nice... Well, G'night!
