New Signs of Happiness

(In talking about a program to study for a multiple choice test where upon answering a question, you either see a green check mark or a red "X" next to your answer choice.)

K: I am at the point where I know there is an exception to the rule but can't remember what the exception is and I keep going back and forth between the two last options.

S: I know, I can narrow it down to two choices but then I usually end up picking the wrong one.

K: Me too. I just sit there wondering which one is the correct answer and then after I click the answer, I just hope and pray I don't see a big fat red X.

S: haha. Yes, the green check mark has become a sign of all goodness, hope, and happiness in the world.

(maybe you had to be there. Or at least have taken the test.... =P)

Hitch 101

C: How many times did you watch Hitch?

M: Why?

C: You used the tactics in the movie Hitch to get H, didn't you?

H: Yes, he did the dance.

A: Aaawww!! That's a nice say of saying that M thinks he's dating up!

(I emphasize....the cup is half full.)

I am Woman, Watch Me Pretend.

L: He said he wanted to try to wrestle me to see if he could flip me over. I tried my hardest and held my ground. After a while I started encouraging him by telling him to try harder and that he could do it.

M: Oh my god. You are so clueless and emasculated him.

P: And this is after they were cuddling!

L: What? I'm supposed to let him win and just inflate his ego by saying he's strong?!

X: Yes!

L: I'm supposed to pretend?

R: We are women! Pretending is what we do!!

Lazy, But Not Alone

Conversation:

A: I don't want to wash my face! I'm soo lazy!

R: No one told you that you had to. I practically had to force myself to wash my face and brush my teeth. I am lazy.

A: You are not alone~. I am lazy too~. Though we're far apart~, we are both lazy farts~~.

(Thanks Michael!)

Lone Studier

Student's mind starts wandering after studying for an important exam and comes up with the following song to reflect the situation of being alone and studying alone sends this email:

I'm soo bored I might die, so I will "sing" a song for you:

Lonely~, I am so lonely~, I am a hermit, all by my own EEEEEEEEeeEeEEEEEEEE!


(Sung to the tune of Mr. Lonely.)

Birthdays - Sucks to be in a Rut

Tomorrow is Super Bowl Sunday. It got me thinking about the people who have birthdays tomorrow. What if you don't even like football but all of your friends do?

So some birthdays just feel more special than others because they happen to fall on a holidays. The more famous or popular the holiday, the more special people say your birthday is.

The ultimate seems like Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years. We all talk about how special you are for having those birthdays, yadda yadda yadda. Those birthdays are the worst though if you think about it.

At least during Thanksgiving, you get to see your family and you probably get gifts, but people are too busy celebrating the holiday so all you get is a cake which blends in with all the pies and other desserts.

If you are born on Christmas or Christmas Eve, it sucks because often times people only give you one present. Actually, at least if you are born on Christmas or Christmas Eve, please at least acknowledge that you are a Christmas baby. If you are born on the 22nd or something, you aren't special AND you don't get extra presents.

New Years, well it might not seem so bad when you are young, because you might get presents separate from Christmas, but then when you are older, it is quite possible that you or all your friends will be hung over on your birthday.

Then, if you have a birthday where businesses give a day off, such as Memorial Day, people leave town so you don't have any friends to hang out with.

Of course, for regular birthdays, if it falls on a weekday, then your friends might not be able to do much because they have to work the next day, but at least you get dinner or you move the celebration to the nearest weekend. Of course then you have to compete with everyone else who was born in the same proximity as you.

Maybe the best birthdays are the ones where you were born on the first or last day of the month. For whatever reason, it seems significant, but you are still not a holiday.

Hmmmm....what a strange turn of events. I love birthdays and I am a true believer in Birthday week (the celebration of your birthday over a weeks period of time) and getting whatever you want. Originally I began writing this post to show that although on its face, it seems like it is fun to have a birthday on a holiday, birthdays on "normal" days are the best, but now it seems there is a bad side to every birthday. Either that or I'm just being pessimistic. Probably both.

It sucks to be in a rut.

Revealing Comments

R holds "the squat" position in a public restroom. Before she knows it, she loses control of her aim and hits her pant leg leaving a round circle of dampness on the bottom of her pant leg. R never knew what it looked like when people peed on their leg before. Seeing she never knew what it looked like, R tries to pull it off as if she somehow splashed water on herself. (How she would suddenly get the bottom of the back side of her leg wet by accident, you'd never know...)

R overreacting after going back into the office: "Dang it! I spilled water on myself!"

T: "Looks like you peed down your leg and onto your pants."

R (*Shocked silent for 5 seconds*) comes to a realization then exclaims: "You only know that because you've done it before!"

T: ...
