Tip 39

Krebscout Survival Tip #39 - How to be one of Krebscout's favorite humans:

- Get excited about little things, such as a Hello Kitty egg-dying kit or the brand of your stapler.
- Be emotionally independent. I don't want you to be needy to me or anybody else; I'm attracted by inner peace and self-reliance.
- Be able to not talk too much or too much about yourself. I value a well-timed silence, confident minimalism, and a sincere interest in other people and what other people want to talk about.
- Ask questions. Boy howdy do I like it when you ask questions.
- Laugh without reserve.
- Don't have strong opinions about things that don't matter.
- Tell good stories. Real ones.
- Always be working on something, engaged in something that you're excited about. Don't be stagnant.
- Follow the rules. Including those of board games.
- Don't double-dip.
- Don't care about what you look like a whole lot. For example, a friend once refused to go water tubing with me because she didn't want her hair to get "all lakey". Lame.
- Live big, or make your life big by the way you look at it.
- Be laid back. Don't get annoyed or offended easily, don't demand that things go the way you think they should.
- Make it evident in your words and your actions that you are a follower of Christ.
