Thread: Life Lessons

- mind your own business
- you should be able to talk about anything with your best friends
- you should realize they will make fun of you for it
- you should return the favor in kind
- eat your vegetables
- sometimes there's no way but the hard way
- running away isn't the answer
- realize people have problems that seem silly to you, but aren't silly to them
- take your own advice
- when you and another person have the conversation: "this is a bad idea." "yeah, but it's fun." it really is a bad idea, and you shouldn't do it, despite how much fun it is
- when your friends tell you someone's a skanky whore, they're a skanky whore. wrap your cock even if you don't believe them
- always look at people's motives
- there's nothing that lifts your spirit more than good poetry and stand up comedy
- things can happen to you
- only drink when you're already happy
- tequila doesn't like you
- smoking can still kill you even after you quit
- credit cards have to be paid sometime
- you don't need most of the things you buy
- spending money on other people is one of the most satisfying things you can do
- that deaf/veteran/homeless/needs-an-operation-for-his-wife guy who wants a dollar is probably ripping you off, but it's better to give a dollar to someone who doesn't need it than not to give a dollar to someone who does need it.
- when all else fails, sinatra is always there

Gogol is the best Rusky

Most people love their positivist anchors even as the pull them below the water line, don't cut em!
Environmentalists will be mocked no matter how dire out situation becomes.

Subliminal messaging work, srsly.

- If someone is too good to be true, they probably are[/b]

Oh, bullshit!
[/b][/quote]

I don&#39;t mean that they aren&#39;t still a good person, or that they are up to no good. I just meant if you meet someone who seems to have everything, they probably don&#39;t. Or if you meet the "perfect" girl/guy and you two agree on everything, and you cannot find one thing at all that annoys you, it might even be a stupid habit, like nail picking, then they are proabably not as perfect as they seem, there is something that will irk you.

You don&#39;t have to justify yourself, I&#39;m just saying that if you meet someone who&#39;s amazing to you then anything that is potentially unappealing will be irrelevant.

Oh sorry, I didn&#39;t mean to get defensive. I just wanted to explain myself, and I do get what you mean.

If you&#39;re going to drink to forget, pay before you start.

Eat right, drink water, sleep.

Smile.

Vitamin D + Calcium fortified orange juice and sex will cure any hangover.

It&#39;s either beer, wine, or liquor. Don&#39;t combine them.

Never pay for something when you can learn to do it yourself.

The journey is half the trip.

Look people in the eye when you speak to them.

Save cuss words for when you really want to get your fucking point across.

Ask questions.

Listen to the answers.

Haha. I love this! I kind of follow this, but specifically with the fuck word. I&#39;ve always felt that it&#39;s a very unattractive thing if I say it, so I rarely do. Only when I&#39;m drunk or really pissed off.

- never try to be someone else, their shoes won&#39;t fit you

-Dont sleep with your makeup on

-showers are more hygenic than baths

-Give yourself a two day sex-less window after your period ends. It has a tendancy to breifly come back with all the thrusting

-Wearing a brightly colored wig is a good way to meet people

-Getting wasted and loud is a bad way to meet people

-Dont piss off the person cooking your food

-Read everyday

-Education is your best investment

-Take time to learn about your friends intrests and hobbies...Not only does it make it easier to participate in their lives and have fun convos...but you get to learn something new.

edit: oh snap. my bad for bumping this. carry on.

Don&#39;t worry, bumping is in season. It&#39;s not like you bumped a topic from 2003 or anything...

Avoid soap at all costs.

Stand naked in the shower, rub on shower gel, then turn on the water and be grateful if anything hot comes out.

Don&#39;t stir rice when it&#39;s cooking.

Always salt the water when cooking pasta.

When making a massive fuck off sandwich baguette, ingredients do clash (sweet chilli sauce and roule for example).

these are actually all really good. i&#39;ve just discovered the difference of salted pasta water, and rice cooking always gets me. shower gel > soap too!

I only very recently learnt about the rice thing. When I&#39;m tenting, we all take it in turns to cook for each other, and one day my mate Simmo made a curry for like, 15 of us, and the rice was absolutely perfect. I grilled him about it, and was delighted to discover that he internally rages every time he eats badly cooked rice, because &#39;ITS SO FUCKING EASY, I DONT KNOW WHY SO MANY PEOPLE CANT COOK FUCKING RICE.&#39;

Rinse pasta with cold water if it&#39;s sticky to get rid of the starch on the outside.

Cut potatoes length wise in quarters to boil, they cook faster.

Don&#39;t try to have a serious discussion when drunk unless you want to fight.

A small group of close friends/family is better than lots of people you hardly know anything about.

Life&#39;s too short to stay angry and bitter at someone forever.

Learn to say no.

oh, and if you dress slutty...you attract guys who will treat you as such. If you dress classy....you attract classy guys...usually.

Seems simple, yet alot of girls dont quite get it.
