ask me anything

 

i will always try

to develop and maintain realistic expectations for myself and the people in my life.

when it’s 4:30am

i will not start world war bajillion on the xbox/playstation/wii. i wouldn’t even know how to turn the thing on, much less rage at the people on the other side of the game.

i refuse to

rejoice in the suffering of others. no exceptions.

when under a tornado warning

i will NEVER do anything to make the fire alarms go off, NEVER EVER EVER, because i understand the trauma of not knowing whether it is safer to be inside or outside.  

i will never

scream obscenities outside of your window at three am because i’m the sort of person who knows that, even on a friday night, it’s horribly rude.

on a roadtrip

i will always try to stay awake with the driver, even if there’s nothing to talk about.

whenever i’m having people over

even if they’re just popping in for a moment, i will always give you warning, roommate(s). i know it’s embarrassing for a bunch of people you don’t know to catch you in the living room in the middle of a dvd yoga session, especially when you look nasty and smell worse. 

i will never

leave chocolate sitting around unless it’s chocolate that i intend to share with whomever happens to pass by; leaving chocolate out on display without the intention to share is pure evil.

if i’m in an elevator

and i see you running to catch it, i will hold it for you.

even when i’m eighty (or ninety)

i will never, ever drive thirty miles per hour beneath the speed limit on the interstate and hover in the left lane and completely block traffic.
