I am a perfectionist and have always had an utter disdain for failure. This has kept me from trying a lot of things in my life. Having finally accepted that failure is a requirement for a fulfilling and diversified life experience, I have created this year long project in an attempt to become comfortable with the idea of failing. This blog chronicles my journey with failure.

Day 49: A Weird Day
Today was a very weird day, especially during the evening. I met two friends at a Taco Mac. Except I drove to the wrong Taco Mac. My friend had even put in a text message which one they were going to, and I still drove to a different one.
Then, when I got there, my brain was just not working. They would ask me a question, and I wouldn't understand what they said. At least they said I was really good entertainment for the night!
Then, I had ordered a bean burrito. I don't eat meat. Two different employees repeated back to me "bean burrito." I take one bite and think to myself, "I should look inside just to make sure it's bean." It was beef. Luckily I hadn't swallowed it yet, so I spit it out, and they got me a bean one.
Result: I failed at a lot of things that evening, particularly with anything that required me to use my brain. It was just really weird, and I was afraid to drive to Atlanta after that. (I made it there okay.) And at least I was good entertainment for my two friends :-)
