I got a list of these delightful random thoughts in an email from my friend Kristi. Now, on a normal day I usually delete these frequent forwards (not that I don't appreciate the thought . . .), but today, in an effort to ignore the Nesquick Strawberry powder that I just spilled all over my kitchen floor, I opened it. And read it. And I don't regret it. So I thought I would share a handful of them with you, my friends (also in an effort to ignore the overwhelming mess).
* More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can
think about is that I can't wait for them to finish so that I can tell my
own story that's not only better, but also more directly involves me.

realize you're wrong.

* I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was
younger.

* 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.

your computer history if you die. (Holly . . .)

* Answering the same letter three times or more in a row on a
Scantron test is absolutely petrifying.

* 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".

and smile because you still didn't hear what they said?

up to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers!

* Whenever I'm Facebook stalking someone and I find out that their
profile is public I feel like a kid on Christmas morning who just got the
Red Ryder BB gun that I always wanted. 546 pictures? Don't mind if I do!

productive for the rest of the day.

* I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello?
Darnit!), 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?

Dont worry...you can count on me.
Hilarious! I found the majority of those to be quite true...although I too get in the shower before turning on the water.
I found most of them to be true as well. Isn't the water kind of cold when you first turn it on??
I laughed out loud at several of those. Ah, the Mario Kart days!
Those are funny. Man, to live in the mind of Carlye even for one day. I don't think I would ever be the same.
I so wish I would have napped more before kids...
Obituarties would be better with the cause of death...
and yeah I do get super annoyed with cyclists... there always in the dang way!
Funny thing is I recieved this email and did not want to read that much at that moment, but if it is that important to you that you would post it then it is important to me Carlye.
