Not my own musing, but I agree with quiet a few of them:
- While driving yesterday I saw a banana peel in the road and instinctively
swerved to avoid it…thanks Mario Kart. - Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and
you can wear them forever. - I can’t remember the last time I wasn’t at least kind of tired.
- Whenever I’m Facebook stalking someone and I find out that their profile is public I feel like a kid on Christmas morning who just got the toy gun that I always wanted. 546 pictures? Don’t mind if I do!
- Why is it that during an ice-breaker, when the whole room has to go around and say their name and where they are from, I get so incredibly nervous? Like I know my name, I know where I’m from, this shouldn’t be a problem…
- You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you’ve made up your mind that you just aren’t doing anything productive for the rest of the day.
- Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after DVDs? I don’t want to have to restart my collection.
- There’s no worse feeling than that millisecond you’re sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.
- I’m always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten page research paper that I swear I did not make any changes to.
- “Do not machine wash or tumble dry” means I will never wash this ever.
- I hate being the one with the remote in a room full of people watching TV. There’s so much pressure. ‘I love this show, but will they judge me if I keep it on? I bet everyone is wishing we weren’t watching this. It’s only a matter of time before they all get up and leave the room. Will we still be friends after this?’
- I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Dammit!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail. What’d you do after I didn’t answer? Drop the phone and run away?
- I like all of the music in my iTunes, except when it’s on shuffle, then i like about one in every fifteen songs in my itunes.
- Why is a school zone 25kph? That seems like the optimal cruising speed for pedophiles…
- As a driver I hate pedestrians, and as a pedestrian I hate drivers, but no matter what the mode of transportation, I always hate cyclists.
- I keep some people’s phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.
- The other night I ordered takeout, and when I looked in the bag, saw they had included four sets of plastic silverware. In other words,someone at the restaurant packed my order, took a second to think about it, and then estimated that there must be at least four people eating to require such a large amount of food. Too bad I was eating by myself. There’s nothing like being made to feel like a fattie before dinner.
- More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can thinkabout is that I can’t wait for them to finish so that I can tell my own story that’s not only better, but also more directly involves me.
- Do you remember when you were a kid; playing Nintendo and it wouldn’t work? You take the cartridge out, blow in it and that would magically fix the problem. Every kid did that, but how did we all know how to fix the problem? There was no internet or message boards or faq’s. We just figured it out. Today’s kids are soft.
- There is a great need for a sarcasm font.
- I think everyone has a movie that they love so much, it actually becomes stressful to watch it with other people. I’ll end up wasting 90 minutes shiftily glancing around to confirm that everyone’s laughing at the right parts, then making sure I laugh just a little bit harder (and a millisecond earlier) to prove that I’m still the only one who really, really gets it.
- The only time I look forward to a red light is when I’m trying to finish a text.
- Lol has gone from meaning, “laugh out loud” to “I have nothing else to say”
- I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.
- Whenever someone says “I’m not book smart, but I’m street smart”, all I hear is “I’m not real smart, but I’m imaginary smart”.
- How many times is it appropriate to say “What?” before you just nod and smile because you still didn’t hear what they said?
- I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars teams up to prevent a fool from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers!
On one page she’d written a single line: ‘Yesterday he spent an hour with me and it was like heaven: I love him so much.’ A reality he’d somehow been too blind to see now revealed itself with crushing clarity. He’d been too busy to notice how much he meant to Jane. He thought of all the times he’d been preoccupied with his work and failed to notice her. He hadn’t seen her suffering. He hadn’t seen her love. Turning the page, he read words he’d never forget: ‘I’ve listened all day to hear his steps in the hall, but now it’s late, he won’t come today.’ Thomas was devastated. Later, friends found him at the side of her grave, covered with mud. His eyes were red from weeping, ‘If only I’d known, if only I’d known,’ he cried. After Jane’s death, Carlyle made little attempt to write again.
