Tru Dat (a repost)

May 24, 2011 by serialswooper

I posted a comment on Facebook yesterday about how I will gladly lug 18 bags of groceries in to avoid taking two trips up the stairs from the car. A friend commented that he thought the post was blog-worthy. It is. In fact, it already was. Here’s a repost on a blog from December 2009.

_____

1. There is great need for Sarcasm font.

2. I can’t remember the last time that I wasn’t at least kind of tired.

3. Bad decisions often make really good stories.

4. Seriously, how the hell am I supposed to fold a fitted sheet?

5. I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in each hand than have to take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.

6. Was learning cursive really necessary?

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

8. 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”.

9. I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars teams up to prevent some jerk from cutting in up at the front. Stay strong, my friends!

10. 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.

11. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever technology comes after DVDs? I don’t want to have to restart my collection.

12. There’s no worse feeling than that millisecond when you’re sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.

13. I’m always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my document that I swear I did not make any changes to.

14. “Do not machine wash or tumble dry” means I will never wash this ever.

15. 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.

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

17. I think it should probably be called Unplanned Parenthood.

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

Disclosure: this list was actually not compiled by me. It was sent to me by someone who received it directly from another someone. I think the writer must be my long-lost twin so I feel entitled to share it and (sort of) pass it off as my own to those of you who don’t read long or carefully enough to see the end of this message. And, if she decides to come sue me for using her 18 points in my blog then so be it. I think we’ll enjoy each other in the long run.

LOL at 8 & 9.
Very big of you to admit that you didn’t make these up. Way to take the higher road. 😉

Too god-damned funny! Especially your disclaimer at the end. Reminds me of the test you got at least once/yr in school that was 20 pages long. The first line said, READ the whole test before starting. Then the last line says, Write your name at the top. Put your pencil down. Done.”

I really have to stop reading you at work! I am so selfish and I don’t want to share your awesome blog with anyone because this is my safe space. Okay that sounds really scary but I hope you know what I mean. I love # 1 and 9

p.s. I can’t wait until my husband gets home though so I can read it to him.

Thank god for that.

6. I never use cursive. Its usefulness ranks up there with knowing the metric system and learning geometry.

Knowing how to close an italics HTML loop, on the other hand, does help.

Wow. I sort of feel like I could have written this. I guess it’s more like wishing I had because it’s AWESOME! Thanks for sharing it. (And perhaps I did write it… maybe in one of those bad decision moments? wouldn’t that be a good story?)
