In reply to It's Spring - I must do a 10!, posted by All Done on April 16, 2004, at 12:32:43
thank you for the WONDERFUL!!!! ten list... they just keep getting better and better each time i read them.... ok, here's mine!!!
10. i saw a girl today. she looked so very sad. i walked past her, staring at her as i walked by. i stopped and decided to go back. i simply said, 'you look so very sad.' she talked to me. for about 10 minutes while we waited for her roomate to arrive. i don't think i'll post what she said, but i'm so very glad i followed my instinct to talk to her. i think i helped her just a bit and reassured her that things will be better. as she drove by, she smiled and waved. and her smile was real. that's a truly wonderful feeling. honestly it is. to be able to talk to someone and make them smile even when they are in pain and wondering if they are going to die. i'm glad i stopped. i say pooie on those people who don't talk to strangers. you never know who might help you or who you might help!
9. remember the boy i made blush? i found out today he's a psychology major. and i said 'you're a psychology major' in such a loud and flirty way that the whole back part of the class heard it and laughed. he blushed again. i told him i was going to pitch a tent in front of the building that houses the classes for psychology. looks like the beginning of a beautiful relationship. i also started the day with asking him 'how's your day lovely?' he enjoyed it nearly as much as i did...
8. i took a german test today and i believe i actually knew (woooo hoooo!) some of the words and what they meant. now, can you believe that? i may get higher than a c on a test in there finally! looks like some of that hard work will finally pay off! BLASTED language. i still dislike it though..
7. i took off my shoes and walked home bare-foot today. on the side walk and through the grass. it felt nice. i just hope no one looked at my feet. on second thought, who cares? look all you want. i don't care if you look at my feet. i'll agree they aren't the best looking feet in the world, but BOY OH BOY do i have people skills! :)
6. i came home to find i was locked out of my house. i thought 'i'm going to call my old man and rip him a new one.' then i remembered i've lost my cell phone. (oh yes! one of those months!!!) so, using my brains and skills, i found a way into my house. and!!! my dog didn't poop on the floor. my old man will get a hug when he gets home. and i'll somehow find my cell phone. all is right in the world...
5. i have a full carton of smokes. life is good. i'll need them as i have a resume due, a project/proposal/ that dreaded law paper/ another german test/ and i'm still waiting for my shrink to return my call so i can fire him..... but BOY OH BOY do i have people skills. a full carton of smokes. and a huge grin on my face.
4. DEADLINES!!!!! if it were not for deadlines, i'd never get anything accomplished. i'd not do a darn thing. thank the world for deadlines. when i have a deadline in front of me, i work to get things done. and i get them done. in a frenzy. but, somehow i do it. and things get done. and they turn out well. so, thank you deadlines. if it were not for you, i'd not do anything. thank you thank you thank you!!!
3. coffee. thank you coffee. if i didn't have coffee, i'd never hit those deadlines. i wouldn't be able to roll out of bed. i wouldn't be able to stay up past 8 o'clock. i wouldn't be able to function. thank you coffee for helping me get things done. you are a life saver.
2. martini. thank you martini. for allowing me to celebrate when i do accomplish things. if it weren't for you, i wouldn't accomplish anything, as i wouldn't have anything to look forward to. thank you martini for giving me that extra push when coffee falls short. thank you for giving me something to look forward to after the deadline. thank you thank you thank you....
1. friends. thank you. if it weren't for you, i wouldn't be able to take breaks. and without breaks, i'd go nuts. all work and no play makes karen a dull girl. thank you gfor giving me strength. thank you for taking the nightmares away. thank you for giving me something to look forward to. thank you for just letting me be stuck with you. thank you for supporting me. thank you for allowing me to learn. thank you for allowing me to admire you. thank you for your advice. thank you for letting me listen to you. thank you for teaching me. thank you for letting me teach you. thank you for loving me. thank you for letting me love you. thank you for so much more than you people will ever really know. thank you for letting me be an emotional brat :) and thank you for the $3 dress. i look forward to learning so much more in the future from each and every one of you. thank you again really for so much more than you people really will every know....(ok, end scene.. take two action)
