Things worth remembering

This is something I "borrowed" off G. ( thanks Dude )

Don't let someone sell you something you don't want.

Always be nice to the servers, bellhops, and cleaners.

If you can't trust your friend with your boyfriend, you can't trust your friend, and you can't trust your boyfriend. Don't waste your time with either one.

Never be afraid to experiment with glue, scissors, and glitter.

Always have a washcloth and paper towels handy when experimenting with glue, scissors and glitter.

Ignore the insult and just walk away. It's never worth the trouble.

It is possible for you to be wrong. Accept it, apologize, and move on.

Dancing is important.

Take the time to include those who love you and whom you love in your life. If they want more than you can give, don't worry about it too much, just give what you can.

Late is better than never. Just call. Things don't fix themselves alone.

A day off is worth more than the price of a day of work, when you need it badly. Don't be too worried about it.

If you hate your job, find something else, then quit. It is easier to find a job when you have a job, and less stressful too.

There are bullies in every chapter of life. Don't be one.

Tea is necessary.

When you don't know what to say, just smile. If it is a tougher situation, just hug.

Travel at every opportunity.

Your perspective changes each time you experience something new. So do it, rather than sitting there.

Learn to fight with reason, logic and flair. It is not necessary to be violent, mean, or cruel to make a point.

If you start out on the defensive, everything will sound like an attack.

Be generous.

When you love someone and realize it, just tell him or her.

Spend enough time alone to get to know yourself. You will be happier in a relationship when you know who you are, because you will know what you want.

Live alone long enough to appreciate what it means to live with someone.

When you fall in love, don't forget to make time for your friends. It is rude to call someone only when you have problems; that someone will feel used, and with good reason.

Always have a back-up plan, even if it seems paranoid. You'll feel better.

Be polite. People remember.

At least once in your life, do something completely out of character and completely irresponsible. Everyone needs something to regret.

Keep challenging yourself. If you let your life become routine, you will enjoy it less.

Don't be afraid to sing in the shower.

Stay classy.

At Least...

"... I'm the kind of girl who needs at least two inches."

"You know, that group of people we passed just now? They will take that completely out of context."

And so will the Internet, GT, so will the Internet.

The Next Time my iPod Battery Knocks Out, I'm Going to Fake Listen to Nothing!

I really like going to the gym early on Sunday mornings. It’s never crowded and it is a good start to the day. I mean, since I am awake before seven anyway, I might as well get the morning workout out of the way.

Right?

This morning, within minutes on the treadmill, my iPod died. I guess it must have been playing all night in my bag. I cursed to myself and wrapped the earphones up around the iPod.

Almost instantly, the guy next to me began chatting. “Do you know how hard it is to work out, knowing that there is a new Ice-Cream shop just down the road?

“I do.” I assured him.

“It’s so tempting to just get off this machine and go there instead.”

“I know.” I said. “Too bad for you they’re closed in the mornings.”

“Closed?” the man asked, in horror.

“It’s not even eight A.M.” I said.

“What kind of ice cream store is not open at this hour?”
he asked.

“Um, all of them?”

Studies show that even when they are not there, other people exist, with thoughts, feelings, and desires just like you

N is for ...

....... New Attitude


I've come to the realization that I need a new attitude on dating.

I'm no longer going to try and dazzle a guy into keeping me around. I'll still be my fabulous self (hah!) , but I've decided that it's now up to the guy to impress me into keeping him around.

Kind of like a dating interview, if you will. I think this will be a good plan and I'm thinking of setting up an obstacle course and writing up a few essay questions. (ell oh ell )

Is that too weird?

Lessons in Life...

Do not date boys named Keith. Always buy the shoes you wanted. Be the first person to say sorry. Righty tighty, lefty loosey. Frying an onion is the quickest way to make your kitchen smell like dinner. Bigger sunglasses are always better. Keith Richards will always be trouble. Moisturize. Count to ten before you say something you regret- and if you are still mad, count higher. Wear red. Give more than you want and you will get more than you need. When you are young and in a group of three girls, one girl will almost always feel left out- include everyone. You can always have more garlic. Hot curlers fix a bad hair day. No really, Keith will break your heart. It’s color- not dye. Be brave. Everybody has problems. Own something leopard print. Invest in a good can opener - and stocks. Find something to like in everybody. It’s hussy, not whore. You really do need to sort your laundry. You are too young to use the word “old”. Don’t say something about someone that you couldn’t say to their face. Fresh flowers are not an extravagance but a necessity. If you want something- ask for it. Adding vanilla pudding to chocolate chip cookie mix makes them taste so much better. Look people in the eye. KEITH IS TROUBLE. Take a photo of what you want your hair to look like when you get it cut. Learn the difference between “your” and “you’re”. Buy lemons. It’s not really giving if you expect something in return. Your shortest skirt should not be worn with your tallest shoes. And lastly, never say ” I told you so”- it’s annoying and can usually be said only when someone has made a poor choice and needs your support. Especially when the choice involves boys named Keith.

Random Quote of the Day

"Man is the symbol-using animal, inventor of the negative, separated from our natural condition by instruments of our own making, goaded by the spirit of hierarchy, and rotten with perfection."

- Kenneth Burke
