* Made-up songs almost always break the ice
* All emotions are ok, even the big ones, even the sad ones
* Don't force someone to be happy, just hang with them

* Say hi to everyone when u enter a room
* When you meet someone new, make sure they're ok b4 u start to play w/ them
* Being ridiculous can go a long way
* When someone takes over & you don't want them to, best to walk away
