I feel like, or like to think that I live like an Emersonian friend everyday. Maybe not the whole day. In some parts of the day I know some of the people I encounter would not like me to be honest with them. They could be offended by what I might say to them. But they would not understand that I was only saying it to be nice or to tell them that in case they cared about it.
On the day that I chose to try to be an Emersonian friend was on Saturday. The day of formal and earlier that day I had water polo all day long. All that day I was around people that I know appreciate who I am. And then there are some that I feel like that don't understand me. Nothing exciting happened during water polo. Then I got ready for formal and went to dinner. I was running late because of water polo. I think hunger got in the way of me trying to focus on being an Emersonian friend. So I wasn't much of one at dinner. Then formal came. At then at the dance so much was going on it was hard to be an Emersonian friend again.

I love how you open the post by explaining what an Emersonian friend should be. I totally agree with what you said about having to be completely open and honest.
I also think that you are an Emersonian friend, which at times may not have been what I wanted to hear, like the being completely honest, but I know that it's because you're being nice...and that you're not doing it to be mean or anything.
I disagree that you weren't like Emerson during the dance, because you did try to get everyone to dance together-which I thought was really nice...very Emersonian!
