Everyone has something they strive to be, and when they meet someone who as the same goal one of two things happen.
1. They work together to make the goal happen.
2. They hate each other and think about how much better they are than the other person.
I hereby implore you to engage in the firts option. I used to fancy myself as quite the funny person. I loved nothing more than when I was the attention of the party and when everyone was laughing at my jokes. So much so in fact that I missed out on multiple opportunities to laugh along with others, because I was thinking about what I could respond with that would be funnier. When did I grow out of that? ....
I don't know how many times in my life I have missed out on enjoying a joke or a funny story by trying to top it. I don't know how many times I have looked like a dick because of it. This will surprise alot of people that I know (no it won't) because they have never noticed it (yes they have) since I have never let it outwardly show (all the time).
So go out there and enjoy what others have to offer, even if it is what you want to be known for. You might end up with a great friend out of the deal. I will never forget the weekend that I met my friend Heiney. He was an obnoxiously loud friend of Fid's. I eventually realized that I didn't like him because we were filling the same role. Now we are great friends, and he's a guy that I love to be around. We get to be loud and obnoxious together.
It's great to have a sidekick like him. You never know when you will need someone almost as funny as you are to enjoy your jokes.
By the way, this is why you shouldn't try to dance. We obviously were being funny at this point... not really dancing...
