"What a sad trick you thought that you had to play,
- but I don't blame you."
The library recently put signs up to stop people from smoking outside near the entrance. The signs show a cigarette under a big red circle and slash, and beneath the picture are a few polite words about not smoking on the steps or near this area by the door.
If I had been in charge of the signs, they would still have the picture because that's totally on target, but underneath it would just read, "CANCER YOU IDIOT!!!"
Anyhow, here is a small list of odd things people (even I at times) brag about:
1. How little sleep they need, or how late they stay up.
- So you're awake more... and? What specifically am I meant to be impressed about?
2. How drunk they once were.
- I think this is rather like saying, "I'm not naive, I'm exciting and I've done things to the extreme!" Yes you are, no you're not, and no one cares.
3. How much they ate once.
- So you were really hungry one day... woo hoo.
4. Knowing someone who knows a famous person.
- Fine to mention in conversation, but I bet neither of us gets an invite to the Grammys.
5. That so many girls/boys hit on them when they go out.
- One, no they don't. Two, if being attractive and popular was working out so great, you wouldn't need me to boost your self-esteem. Being a player is cooler when your reputation isn't spread mostly by yourself.
