A few interesting thoughts*

- MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.

-There is a great need for sarcasm font.

-I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.

-When I meet a new person, I'm terrified of mentioning something they haven't told me but that I have learned from some light internet stalking.

-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.

-Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.

-Sometimes, I'll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger and suddenly realize I had no idea what was going on when I first saw it.

-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.

-I would rather try to carry 10 grocery bags in each hand than make two trips to bring my groceries in.

- I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.

-The only time I look forward to a red light is when I'm trying to finish a text.

- I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.

- 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. Jeans? Jeans never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.

- Bad decisions always make good stories

-Whenever I'm Facebook stalking someone and I find out that their profile is public I feel like a kid on Christmas morning! 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? I know my name, I know where I'm from, this shouldn't be a problem....

-Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after DVDs? I don't want to have to restart my collection again.

-I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my 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 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 hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.

- 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.

-Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.

-It really pisses me off when I want to read a story on CNN.com and the link takes me to a video instead of text.

-I wonder if cops ever get pissed off at the fact that everyone they drive behind obeys the speed limit.

-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.

All of these are great! I was nodding my head and smiling with agreement almost the whole way through.;))

Those are so awesome! Every one of them makes complete sense to me too!...And don't worry, I will delete your entire computer when you die (unless I go first)!??

This is my most favorite blog of yours. They are all great. The Mario banana peel was perfect and I love the Facebook stalking.

OMG, who is the incredibly insightful person who came up with these?? Every one of them is perfect (except for the Mario banana peel which I don't get. Oh, and I've never logged on to CNN.com.) It's nice to know I'm not the only "light" internet stalker.

I thought the thoughtful thoughts were from a very thoughtful person and I was right.

Sarah said...

You are so very funny! I also get bugged when I call someone right back and it goes to their machine. I bet they are just annoyed that I didn't pick up. Love the last comment about your talk-out order :)

Julie,
These made me laugh so hard. I guess it wasn't a good idea to ready this post at work. Everyone is looking at me like I am crazy. Oh well! Thanks for the great blog!
