Things that make you go hmmm

I don't understand...

...the appeal of Paris Hilton and why her 15 minutes aren't up yet.

...why I can be bounding with energy on my way to work but as soon as I walk into my office it's as if my walls are made of kryptonite.

...why I can remember all the lyrics to Salt-n-Pepa's "Shoop" but I can't remember what I had for breakfast or why I am standing at the photocopier.

...why my landlord has not yet resolved the hot water problem in my apartment.
...why no matter how many clothes I buy, I still have nothing to wear.

...why pants sizes and underwear sizes do not match up. I wear an 8-10 pants (8 on a good day) and yet I wear a 5 or 6 in underwear.

...the attraction of Crocs. Ugh.

...why people can't just talk to each other and figure out world peace.

...why I trust the Geico Gecko more than any spokes...person? on the planet.

...why my maid hasn't come in and vacuumed or washed the dishes this week. Oh yeah, I don't have a maid. Nevermind.

...why my best hair days are on days when I'm getting my hair cut.

...what it is about politics that makes everyone corrupt.

...why George W. Bush is still in office.

...how people can be Christian and so obviously not follow Christ's teachings.

...why people still have a problem with educating our kids about sex.

...how assassination plots manage to actually kill good people (JFK, MLKJ) while evil dictators or otherwise not so great politicians remain bullet free.

...why the concept of RSVPing seems lost on some people.

...people who don't paint their walls.

...Nascar.

...why Subaru hasn't made a hybrid yet.

...whether or not "boyfriend" is an appropriate term for someone in their 30's.

...how I can leave the grocery store having spent $50 and not have any food.

...why my apartment for one month and a vacation cabin for one week can cost the same amount.

...the allure of niknaks bearing logos. How many foam doohickeys does a person need? (The answer is none in case you were wondering.)

...how photos actually get from a real event to an image on a piece of paper.

...why English people automatically sound smarter.

...people who don't read.

I never got the undie thing, either. Although, I opt for size 7, which is fairly close to my pants size.

And crocs are fugly. And people who wear them usually look pretty stupid. I've only come across a handful of people with them, though.

Making Eye Babies

Colleges often have a lot of rules the students need to follow. After all, a bunch of 18-21 year olds can't really be expected to self-govern on their own, at least not 24/7, no matter how vehement they are that they can do just that. (I was 18-21 once myself so I know it's annoying to hear that. I don't mean all 18-21 year olds individually, I mean when they all get together in one place.) Then there are Christian Colleges which have more rules, often based on biblical teachings and moral dictates. Further down the spectrum is Bob Jones University* which considers the Christian colleges just too darn liberal so they piles on a bunch of morally based codes of behavior. Not to be outdone by the crazy liberal heathens at Bob Jones, Pensacola Christian College goes hog wild with the rules and moral imperatives and makes the Taliban look almost liberal. An article in the March 24th edition of the Chronicle of Higher Education explains some of the rules and regulations the stu...

Gone by the wayside

I have no idea if anyone is reading this anymore. If you have been loyally checking back now and again I applaud you. At one point this blog was a therapeutic outlet for me. I'm glad to have a chronicle of my experiences during this time of my life. Now, however, instead of a creative outlet it's more of a nagging reminder that I should be posting and this girl does not need one more thing on her "To Do" list. I'd love for you to explore the archives if you so chose. If you have already done so, here's a brief update: Friendster Guy and I are still together and co-habitating. We are in domestic, but still unwedded, bliss (that status could be a post or two in and of itself, but, as I've just said, I'm done with that.) We're so domesticated we're in the market for granite countertops. We also just returned from an Aussie/New Zealand vacation and if 8 days in a tiny RV won't solidify (or destroy) a relationship nothing will. We're stronge...

Mycology*

A Phone Conversation: Me: "In the spirit of full disclosure, I should let you know I am signed up to auction myself off at a batchelor/batchelorette auction next month." Friendster Guy: "How much does a single girl go for these days? Will I have to bring my checkbook?" Right thing to say Friendster Guy. Right thing to say. Also, today is Compliment Day. According to this site , this day was created in 1998 by Kathy Chamberlin, of Hopkinton, NH. and Debby Hoffman, of Concord, NH. Sad that it took until 1998 to have a Compliment Day while National Pie Day began in 1986 (thanks American Pie Council and Crisco), and National Handwriting Day started way back in 1977. Spread the love today. Compliment 5 people. By the way, you're fabulous. * Mycology = the study of fungus
