.to be or not to be socially acceptable.

some things i wish were socially acceptable:

1) lip-syncing in public.

you know what i'm talking about.
you're walking to campus, ear buds popped in,
you've got a great jam you're strutting to the beat to.
and all you want to do right then is lip sync along
pretending you're in a music video. 
aaaand sometimes i do just that. 
and sometimes i get weird looks from people.
but still.
why can't we all just universally accept everyone’s
inner desire to lip sync in public?

2) approaching people you've only seen on social media.

on a weekly, if not almost daily basis,
i'll see somebody i haven't met in real life.
but i know exactly who they are.
what they did last weekend.
who they're dating.
what they had for breakfast this morning...
the creepiness goes on.
social media has made me the most shameless stalker, guys.
and i know i'm not the only one.
can't we just all own up to the fact that we've mutually stalked
each other so we can be friends in real life?

"hey! how are you, paul? you're friends with [so and so],
from washington, went to peru last summer, business major...
how's that goin? i'm liza."

"hey liza! yeah, totally, how was the concert you went to last week?
sweet instagram post of that swig place too.
we should go sometime.”

see, how easy that was?
and think of all the friends we'd have if we could
actually talk to the people we stalk.

3) randomly using really big words in conversation more often.

why just say, “you’re beautiful”
when you could say, “my, how pulchritudinous you look today.”

ok.
maybe i’m just a lip-syncing weirdo, stalker, nerd.
