Rejected!

So today is Thursday... and Team Dino went to the nursing home in town. We were essentially given free reign to roam around the nursing home, seeking out people to talk to for a while, and told to meet in the middle room around 1 God-unit and 45 minutes later, where we were going to sing to the residents. I... guess I fail at talking to people or something... because for an entire God-unit and 45 minutes, I tried again and again to have some form of legitimate-ish conversation with someone?!? anyone?!? that was a resident there, and got shut down instead... Example of typical conversation:

Me: "Hello Sir, are you having a good morning?"
Sir: "What? Do I have any money?" (with an incredibly indignant look, as if assuming I am intending to rob him if he answers yes to that question)
Me: "Sorry, I said, 'are you having a good morning?'"
Sir: "What? I can't hear you!"
Me: "Ohh... I said, 'ARE YOU HAVING A GOOD MORNING?'"
Sir: "Ohh, yeah, it's all right... I don't know what you want from me...?"
Me: "OHH, I'M JUST HERE TO CHAT!"
Sir: "Well if you are looking for something to do, I'd suggest talking to one of those people."
Me: "Err... well okay then... do you have any kids?"
Sir: "Yes."
Me: "Ohh really? How many?"
Sir: "What?? I don't know what you want from me."
Me: "I don't want anything!"
Sir: "Well why are you standing here?"
etc...
(in this case, cue three minute long staring contest when I run out of things to try and talk about (I was made fun of for days afterwards for the staring contest by other Team Dino members))

Anyway, at around 11:30, we met in the middle of the nursing home and sung for a while, kind of going through a bunch of different songs that were all over the spectrum. I'm a huge fan of singing, so I thought it was fun, but eventually that ended and we headed back to Glenmary. In the car, I found out that I was the only person that had somehow managed to not make a good connection with somebody that was there... I'm not entirely certain how that happened, but it was unfortunate, because I think a lot of other people got more out of it than I did.

Again, the interactions (at least the good ones) I had today were mostly between me and people from Glenmary, so overall I'm feeling a bit unsatisfied with the way that turned out.
However, we are going to the Catholic church for mass this evening, which I'm excited about... I'd better go change. (also, I'm not at 5 days without a shower... I bet I smell gross, as will my church clothes next week!)
