The Yeti Suit remembered the bar pick up story from Bill Whittle's great essay "Confidence." Remembered it, and had the guts to try it. Here's his story.

Here are some quick tips for adding simple Textile formatting to your comments, though you can also use proper HTML tags:
*This* puts text in bold.
_This_ puts text in italics.
bq. This "bq." at the beginning of a paragraph, flush with the left hand side and with a space after it, is the code to indent one paragraph of text as a block quote.
To add a live URL, "Text to display":http://windsofchange.net/ (no spaces between) will show up as Text to display. Always use this for links - otherwise you will screw up the columns on our main blog page.

Anon, I'm familiar with NLP and agree on its usefulness, but colour me skeptical re: Mr. Jeffries. If our white-furred friend is looking for advice on what "next" might have looked like, I recommend a film called The Tao of Steve: "Be desireless, be excellent, be gone." Yeti, you may have done better than you think.
For more comprehensive advice, the name to look up is a no-b.s. gentleman named R. Don Steele (he's also a published author). Don's stuff works, and it's simple. Just not easy.
I just can't shut my pie hole.
