I Ching

Be defensive. You'll break through. Yes. They actually fit rather well together.

And step by step you can be the person you want to be. I mean, you only care about being boring in regards to other people. If other people didn't exist, what would it matter? That's why I think the question implies a mate.

So, if I'm looking at this in the context of a relationship - I should be cautious, and take things slowly, and avoid getting hurt

Well, yeah, that too. But your question was, Are you boring. Or do you say the same anecdotes too much. It seems that you were concerned with being interesting enough for new friends or a new mate. And so the reading addresses that more than actually being in a relationship.

Obviously you ARE interesting enough for your friends. I mean, you're not a boring person.

so I must slowly work at not being boring?

You must slowly work at self-improvement.

Think of it that way.

that makes sense - thank you for saying that i'm not boring.

And take it easy, because you can't hurry love and friendship.

i think there was a song about that.

Maybe. Probably not. People haven't thought of everything, you know.

If love were a more popular topic for song writers, I'd say you were right.

everything hasn't already been done?

now i'm starting to question post-modernism

Well, they thought everything had been done, but then somebody invented a skateboard with just two wheels.

they also invented the iphone

Iphone's just a phone people tend to stick their noses in a little extra.

they can also send emails that tell everyone that they were sent from their iphones.

That's not a feature unless you're a wedge.

yeah, but when you think about it - how many products are designed with a default that essentially advertises itself to everyone the product owner communicates with.

These days they would really hope all of them.

it would be like if vitamin water had this special chemical formula that would make the vitamin water logo appear on your throat - like a tattoo - if you drank it.
