V-Day Rockin

I had a great Devotional Meeting today. R & S are great guys. It's amusing to me, at this point, I can't help but wonder if I'll ever meet a Baha'i that doesn't use the disclaimer "I'm not the best example of a Baha'i, but..."- I think every Baha'i I've known has said something to the same effect. Not that I've known all that many, but it seems to be a pretty common theme. I think that's part of being a Baha'i. We're in this huge state of flux, where we're all building traditions and habits, and none of us are exactly where we feel we 'should be' with it... It's a beautiful thing, in an odd way, to know that even the people who are better educated in the spiritual sense, well, aren't better educated in the spiritual sense. It's awesome to feel like, even though I'm new-ish to the faith, even though I'm lost on a regular basis, even though I'm completely backwards sometimes, and crazy emotional almost all the time- I'm still on the same level as these people. They don't make me feel less than them, nor do they try to. They just want to teach me and learn from me. They see I have something to teach them. I think I'm a little more emotional and inflammatory than most Baha'is, as I still struggle with the detachment thing... I get excited about things, and it interests me to see other people and what makes them get excited about things, what brings emotion to their eyes. I definitely saw that today, and it was comforting to know I wasn't the only person who gets wound up over this sort of stuff. It was also nice to be reassured that I'm not the only person of faith who likes watching random TV shows that aren't necessarily PC.
I wound up, haphazardly, going out to dinner with a friend of mine from my unit. He was so happy to get invited out, he paid for it, and we ate a LOT!!! It was great, and quite relaxing to go out with someone I could relate to, and someone who's so respectful and just chill. He's just comfortable to be with. He never interrupts me, either. It's so easy to be with someone like that. The way he is, I almost wish there was something more between us. I'd hate to lose a friend like that, though.
I also ran into someone I've known via the net for a while, and probably ran into more than once, but, well, I was a little distracted (when am I not?) and didn't recognize him when he struck up a conversation with me. Don't I feel cool? Well, he's better looking, and sweeter, in person. I hope I didn't lose all my cool points by not knowing who I was talking to!!!
Here's the real question: Did I ever have cool points?
