Winter Fashion...?

Winter.  It's cold outside, yeah?  Then... why are people dressing like it's summer?  It's -80 and what are the girls wearing?  Shorty shorts and boots.  Yeah because that's warm.  Personally, I don't think blueish-purple legs are sexy, but then again I'm not all that attracted to girls.  Seriously though, what good does wearing boots do?  Sure your feet are warm, but you have half of your body exposed to the freezing cold weather.  To me, that doesn't make sense.  At least throw on a pair of tights under the shorts and pretend you have a brain.  So when it's a blizzard outside, will I be wearing my barley there shorts and some snow boots?  Yeeaahh... no [:  I like to think I possess what most people seem to have lost.  Common sense [:

My Fault?

The ultimate, lame excuse that people use.  "It's all YOUR fault."  It doesn't even matter that you didn't have any involvment, somehow you manage to be the cause for whatever stupid thing that the person did.  My very favorite is when the person you are in a relationship with gets caught cheating.  "Well it's your fault!  (Insert lame excuse here)."  My personal example of this was a classic.  "Well it's your fault I was with another girl!  You got too close to me, so I got scared."  Right...  You're the one talking about how much you like me and how you want to date me for at least a year and I'm the one was getting too close.  Another time this horribly stupid excuse is when someone makes a decsion that they don't like.  Maybe it's buying a shirt they weren't too crazy about and the 'cute boy didn't notice them, so the money was wasted'.  Or going to a party that they didn't want to go to that ended up with something to 'ruin' their night.  Seriously people, is society too unoriginal and spineless to own up to the choices they make?  So everything YOU do wrong is MY fault?  Yeeaahh... no [:

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall

Don't you love when people (mostly girls) think that they are just so darn adorable that they take about 1,000 pictures of themselves in the bathroom mirror and post on Facebook?  Is anyone REALLY that cute?  Yeeaahh... no [:

The Price of Dating

Some time ago, I was 'asked on a date', only it wasn't your typical date.  The guy asked me to drive to his house to meet him.  Since I live on the opposite side of town, I thought it was fair since I thought he would be driving for the rest of the date.  (Thought being the key word here.)  As I pulled into his house, he walked outside to meet me.  (So I thought.)  Instead he got in my passenger seat and buckled up.  Upon seeing the quizzical look on my face, he told me that he ran out of gas so I was to drive us.  As we were driving clear to the other side of town to the movie store, he informed me that he also didn't have cash; so I would have to purchase the movie.  Flustered, I paid for the movie.  The next part of the date was finding a house to watch the movie at.  Of course it would be too easy to go to his house which was closer... so I drove us all the way back to my house [:  This fun date that I was asked on cost me over $10 in gas and about $10 for the movie.  Yes, about $20 isn't all the much money.  But here's my thought.  I thought that when a guy asked a girl on a date, he had full intention of paying for everything, especially since the activity was completely his idea.  Apparently I'm a little old fashioned [:  Either way, I'm sure you can guess what I said to him when he 'asked me out' again.  Yeeaahh... no [:

No Such Thing Eh?

Whether it's by a school teacher, an instructor, or even a parent, we have all heard this same line.  "There is no such thing as a dumb question."  Well.... just going through my day I can name a few that I believe contradict this saying [:

Dumb question #1 -  The 'what if' questions.

• "What if I get sick and can't come to school.... will the project still need to be turned in that day?"  They ask this just after the teacher explains that no matter what, the project must be turned in that day... Great listener right? [:
• "What if I told you I didn't like that... would you be upset?"  This is the kind of question that is used to 'hide' the fact that they are not a fan of the present you spent months and months searching for and saved up for because you thought it would make them sooo happy.  No I wouldn't be upset [:  I love knowing my time and money was wasted [:  Thank you, kind person [:

Dumb question #2-  The 'what did you say' questions.  

• "What did you say?"  This question is commonly asked when someone claims they didn't hear you.  When you choose to say never mind, they just happen to repeat exactly what you said.  Um.... why would you ask what I said if you obviously know what I said?  Guess my voice is much nicer to hear than I thought it was [:
• "What did you say?!"  Although the same question as before, this is used to express shock.  I'm not entirely sure what good this question does in the context, because when the person sharing the news repeats themselves, the news doesn't magically change into something else.  It's still the same, boring news they shared the first time [: 

Dumb question #3- The 'do you want me to tell the truth' questions.

• "Do you want me to tell the truth?"  No, I just asked what you think because I wanted to get false opinions [:
• "Do you want me to tell the truth?"  No, I just assumed we both knew I wanted to hear a lie [:  Did you not get the memo I sent out to everyone saying I never want someone to be honest when I ask them something?  Sad day...

Of course there are many other examples of dumb questions, but that could take hours to write about all of them.  So there is no such thing as a dumb question??  Yeeaahh...no [:
