Denver

The past couple of days I've been in Denver for a rather unpleasant reason. I had to take an 8 hour test in a psychiatric office to diagnose my dyslexia. Though it wasn't as terrible as it sounds, they had me play with blocks and picture puzzles for some of it, but 8 hours of any kind of test is troublesome. I was able to talk it up with a variety of people even though most of my time was taken up being psychologically analyzed.
Since I spent two days with my tester, I got to know her a little. She would talk to me about music and interests and things like that when we were not in testing. I found out she used to dance in high school, which is awesome because i have a lot of dancing experience also. She is a Radiohead fanatic, as am I, so that's another thing we have in common. I really enjoyed our brief talks in between tests, she even gave me stickers when we were finished. She was awesome.
I also had a few random strangers come up and talk to me. There was this lady in the psychiatric office who came to sit next to me and talk while I was on break. Apparently her 11 year old daughter is dyslexic as well and having a hard time is school. So i gave her a few pointers as to what helped me when I was her age in school. And a clerk in the mall while I was trying on sun glasses started a conversation with me about colleges. She was a little too in-your-face for my liking, but overall very nice.
So the past three days have been very productive for me as far as meeting people. And they were all girls! This proved my theory wrong. But my theory is still valid in most cases.
