I love you.

I love, love. So I'm a hopeless romantic. Not the kind that cries in the movie when the couple you thought would never be together kisses. No, that's not me, I usually giggle at that point. I'm a hopeless romantic in the sense I'm a match maker. I love it when people get, engaged, get together....I just love it. I love, love basically. I also love when people show their love. Like helping people out or just being plain old kind and considerate. Like that song we used to sing when I was little. "Be kind and considerate, love one another..." and I can't remember the rest. Anywho, like I've stated about seventeen times. I love, love. :) So I'm doing a love challenge. For the rest of the month, I'm posting everyday something about love. Either something I drew, painted, learned, a quote, a story.... Please don't think me an idiot. :) I just love, love. Hehe. :)

And this post is pink, cause I think if love had a color, it would decide to be pink. Cause pink is..."lovely." hehe.

Admit you've thought it.

So I found this list of things on my friend's facebook. A list of things we've all thought but never seem funny till now.

Random Thoughts We've All Had

Nothing blows more than that moment during an argument when you
realize you're wrong.

Have you ever been walking down the street and realized that you're
going in the complete opposite direction of where you are supposed to
be going? But instead of just turning a 180 and walking back in the
direction from which you came, you have to first do something like
check your watch or phone or make a grand arm gesture and mutter to
yourself to ensure that no one in the surrounding area thinks you're
crazy by randomly switching directions on the sidewalk.

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

The letters T and G are very close to each other on a keyboard. This
recently became all too apparent to me and consequently I will never
be ending a work email with the phrase "Regards" again.

Do you remember when you were a kid, playing Nintendo and it wouldn't
work? You take the cartridge out, blow in it and that would magically
fix the problem. Every kid in America did that, but how did we all
know how to fix the problem? There was no internet or message boards
or FAQ's. We just figured it out. Today's kids are soft.

There is a great need for sarcasm font.

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.

How the heck are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?

The only time I look forward to a red light is when I'm trying to finish a text.

Was learning cursive really necessary?

Lol has gone from meaning, "laugh out loud" to "I have nothing else to say".

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

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

How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod
and smile because you still didn't hear what they said?

Every time I have to spell a word over the phone using 'as in'
examples, I will undoubtedly draw a blank and sound like a complete
idiot. Today I had to spell my boss's last name to an attorney and
said "Yes that's G as in...(10 second lapse)..ummm...Goonies"

What would happen if I hired two private investigators to follow each other?

While driving yesterday I saw a banana peel in the road and
instinctively swerved to avoid it...thanks Mario Kart.

I find it hard to believe there are actually people who get in the
shower first and THEN turn on the water.

Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty,
and you can wear them forever.

I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.

If Carmen San Diego and Waldo ever got together, their offspring would
probably just be completely invisible.

Why is it that during an ice-breaker, when the whole room has to go
around and say their name and where they are from, I get so incredibly
nervous? Like I know my name, I know where I'm from, this shouldn't be
a problem....

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

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

I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me
if I want to save any changes to my ten page research paper that I
swear I did not make any changes to.

"Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never wash this ever.

I hate being the one with the remote in a room full of people watching
TV. There's so much pressure. 'I love this show, but will they judge
me if I keep it on? I bet everyone is wishing we weren't watching
this. It's only a matter of time before they all get up and leave the
room. Will we still be friends after this?'

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

I like all of the music in my iTunes, except when it's on shuffle,
then I like about one in every fifteen songs in my iTunes.

Why is a school zone 20 mph? That seems like the optimal cruising speed for pedophiles...

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.

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

It should probably be called Unplanned Parenthood.

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

Even if I knew your social security number, I wouldn't know what do to with it.

It really ticks me off when I want to read a story on CNN.com and the link takes me to a video instead of text.

I wonder if cops ever get mad at the fact that everyone they drive behind obeys the speed limit.

I think the freezer deserves a light as well.

The other night I ordered takeout, and when I looked in the bag, saw
they had included four sets of plastic silverware. In other words,
someone at the restaurant packed my order, took a second to think
about it, and then estimate d that there must be at least four people
eating to require such a large amount of food. Too bad I was eating by
myself. There's nothing like being made to feel like a fat loser
before dinner.

I don't even care if you didn't find that funny. Just laugh! :)

"A laugh is a smile that bursts."

I believe I can fly!

I believe I can touch the sky! Ok, not really. I just feel like flying cause my blog looks SOOOO much better. No more embarrassment! Hallelujah! :) With the help of a few people...er, nevermind, no one helped me! I figured out all the things that went wrong! *clap clap* While scouring the globe for an elusive jackalope, I found the PERFECTO background. You may think it's little kiddie or something, but, it is exactly what I was looking for: fun, calm, laid back, not too computer generated looking, doesn't look like it was made in the paint program. I LOVE it! :) And I found it all by myself. Seriously guys, I'm proud of myself. Anywho, here's my new and improved blog! YAYYYYY!

SUPER MESS!

Dreamy list.
