I facebook stalked some of my old friends and noticed that most of them have their personal phone numbers listed in their basic public information.
Then I realized I did too. That's a considerable amount of trust I and many others have imparted to the world at large. I also realized, I've never felt any danger or disturbance in my life due to this.

So consider what I'm doing a social experiment.
My personal phone number is: 323-313-9527
If you call, I will answer.
You don't have to tell me your name. I will not give you mine. You will not be recorded.
You can prank call, insult me, pour your heart out about something, have a casual conversation with me, breathe heavily, whatever you like.
I don't trust i've had enough life experience to say I can give decent advice for serious personal matters, but if you're looking for a stranger's opinion on something, I can give you one.
I do not judge. I will only listen and reply.

Please note than I'll only take one call per unique phone number. After the call is finished your number will be blocked from my phone.

The purpose of this social experiment is to try to understand three things:
1. Are people in general brave enough to call a stranger, and to trust that stranger.
2. Can I trust other strangers?
3. What kind of conversations will faceless strangers be willing to have with a faceless stranger.

Thank you for participating. This experiment will be open from the time of this post until 11:59 PM Saturday, May 2nd.

I really regret the way things have ended up between us, even though I care too much about you to let things go. I know we both deserve better than this, but I always wanted more and I hate that I let myself fall for you when you couldn't offer me that security. Such is life, I suppose. Just take care of yourself and I hope that when you remember me, you smile. That's all I ask.

Whenever I read a confession that says something along the lines of "X person is so beautiful/handsome" I always instantly feel worse about myself because I know nobody would ever write something like that about me. And to the people on the receiving end, I'm sure it's an ego boost for some, but I'd imagine some of these people are kind of creeped out as well...

I think Jonathan Rooks is super handsome and adorable and all I've really wanted to do the past four years is cuddle the hell out of him.

Gosh dang Sarah Tuemmler looked absolutely stunning tonight. I really wish I would have had the courage to ask her but i didn't think I stood a chance. I'm trying to get to know her but she doesn't seem interested.

I'm a senior and spending my Sunday evening writing a paper while wishing I had spent the time to ask a girl (a specific one) out to the spring formal. To be honest I'll probably degrade to some British romance movie soon (has there been any I HAVEN'T seen?), but oh well.
Being fair with myself, I have been so consumed with my work anyone who looked at my schedule would say "fool ain't nobody got time for that."

Doesn't mean I didn't want to ask her, or at least want to go with a group of friends. Oh well. I'll continue to live and mature though I might spend senior year's (for me) spring formal alone with peanut m&ms, pistachios, odwalla mango tango, and a small amount of my lame self-pity.

Does it suck? Yeah. Would I have changed my decision? Heck Yes. Does it really matter? TBD. Will life go on?

Yes, yes it will. I'm excited for what God is doing in my life as I spend time on this world. My family loves me, my friends want to see me succeed, and even if some of life's time spent in my future will be hard or rough, or living in my parents basement working at Papa Murphy's, I WILL endure. ...*shudders*...

Jesus has destined my life and I can't wait to honor Him while I discover this wonderful world He has put me in.
Don't cheapen or devalue your life because of how you perceive your worth. You're priceless, or rather, full of worth. "but everyone hates me and..." SHUTUP! You are loved. To stay away from all the paragraphs i'm gonna keep my reasoning at that. Do I have more? Yes. Do I want to spend hours writing something that will never be posted? Nope.

Regards,
A whiny 22 year old who needs to grow up (senior at Fox)

P.S.
Two things, I'm a really very crappy writer, and my post doesn't really have focus, whatever, I'm over it. :)

If the softball players could PLEASE stop being rude to the servers at the Bon, that would be great. I am sorry I can't give you all the food you want. I am have a serving size that I cannot go over. If I tell you no, it's not because I don't feel like it...it's because I am not allowed to. You don't get special treatment because you have to leave quickly...I still have a line of OTHER people there too. Stop bossing me around, say please and thank you for once, and be kind if we say no.

I had a really close friend once, and I started to drift away from them when I found my boyfriend. I guess it could seem like I'm one of those stuck up girls who doesn't care about her friends when she gets a guy, but in reality I was just sick of the manipulative friendship and he helped me realize that. Now I'm surrounded by friends who I am comfortable being myself around and who care about me and don't get wrapped up in strange petty jealousy. I feel bad for the broken friendship, but I don't regret it.
