I decided people aren't awarded enough on a day to day basis. Therefore, I'm going to start giving people points. I think it will brighten many days.
These points are awarded based on a high complex system- creativity, generosity, kindness, style, sass (because I love it) and just being themselves- to name a few.
A few recipients:
- Man on the train with a fanny pack. Bringing it back, very nice. 2 points.
- Who said men can't wear pink? Work it dude. 2 points.
- Couple in matching outfits. Ridiculous, but gutsy. 3 points.
- Anyone wearing a scarf and flip flops in August. 1 point. {-3 points to Chicago weather.}
- Everyone in the unbelievably long line at Chipotle. 2 points. Each. {Totally worth it.}
- The dude with enough guts to ride a bike through downtown Chicago traffic... while on the phone. 3 points.
- To the man wearing skinny jeans, black sunglasses, Chucks and a vest and tie. All kinds of points.
- Friends with smiles. Infinity points.
My friends and I totally did that this year! Well, sort of. We put up a "points" wall in our kitchen and whenever someone did something embarrassing/funny/slightly scandalous, they would get points. The decision to award points, as well as the number of points, was determined by other people in the house. I know it sounds weird, but it was actually a lot of fun to look back at all the crazy stuff we did.
