Day 50: 50 Selfies with Strangers

365 Firsts/Day 50:

50 Selfies with 50 Strangers

Today was a lot of fun but also a major grind. I think I was turned down 15 times, looked at like I was a moron about 50 times and I utterly confused people even more times than that. Some people were super cool about it when I told them what I was doing and others not so much. 

Some were anxious to be in the selfies and others ran and hid from the camera. It kind of turned into a study of humans and how we're all so different yet similar, but I'll keep the deeper meaning of the selfie to myself and spare you all. Trust me though, I learned a lot from today.

 I was uncomfortable basically the entire time, but that's a good thing. This wasn't just taking 50 pictures of myself because I'd pretty much rather do anything else on the planet than that. 50 days down, 315 to go!

Learn 5 Pool Trick Shots 

I love pool, I just don't get to play it very often. I'm an average player I'd say but pretty decent for how little I play. I definitely don't know any trick shots though so I Googled some, learned them and filmed it! I'll have the link to the video in a few days after I upload it to YouTube.

Day 45: Make Pickles

Make Pickles

I got the recipe for these particular pickles from http://www.thekitchn.com/how-to-make-dill-pickles-cooking-lessons-from-the-kitchn-193350

I doubled the amount of spices and added a little bit of sugar just because I feel like it'll taste better in the end. Making pickles is actually really easy and I'm surprised I never tried it before. If these turn out good I may end up becoming a pickler. Look out.
