So, ya know what I love? Strangers. Seriously one of these days I just want to sit down with some random stranger off the street and talk. Find out about them. I can say anything I want cuz I'll prolly never see them again, they don't have expectations and they will never be able to spread things around cuz they most likely don't know anyone I know. But seriously strangers make me smile. Like when you're sitting in traffic and some nice person actually lets you switch lanes. Or (like what happened to me today) some random guy with long hair and lots of tattoos is walking down the street kinda moving to the music playing on his iPod that you can see hanging from his ear. And so you're looking at him, not really interested but just cuz there's nothing else to look at. And even though you're in a car like 3 lanes away from where he's walking he feels you watching so he looks over and you make eye contact. And you keep watching one another and keep looking back to see if he's looking. And Goddess only knows what he's thinking but he smiles, and you can tell he's kinda chuckling. So you're light turns and you go to make your turn and even while you're turning you keep looking back at him and for that moment, he puts a smile on your face cuz you know that even though you'll never see him again you put a smile on his face and it kinda makes you laugh that you can have that small instantaneous little connection that won't last long but you'll never really stop feeling. That's the person I want to invite out to coffee and donuts just to chat.

(Got this from a friend. It brings back so many memories! XD I definitely miss these days!)

Born (1989)

If you're the age 12 OR UNDER...you should not read this

and if you do, you should not repost this.

Just because you were born in '96 doesn't mean you're a 90's kid.

It's not like you could remember the original Simpsons. I am sorry but four conscious years of the 90's just wont cut it.

When checking out drawing books and that one book about the rainbow fish from the library was THE cool thing to do.

You had slap bracelets!

Way back.

Before we realized all this would eventually disappear.

Who would have thought you'd miss the 90's so much!!!!!

Post this in your bulletin if you remember these days . . . .

post it with the year you were born in.

OMG! To any and all who have seen the VMA's, I'M MADLY IN LOVE WITH GERARD'S NEW HAIR! I'll admit, if you had told me Gerard was going to bleach his hair, I prolly woulda cried, but now that I've seen it... I'm still drooling over him! He looks so effing hott with bleached-white hair, it's just OMG I can't even put it into words! Please, let me know I'm not the only one that thinks so......

(Verse 1)
I have to block out thoughts of you, so I don't lose my head
They crawl in like a cockroach leaving babies in my bed
Dropping little reels of tape to remind me that I'm alone
Playing movies in my head that make a porno feel like home
There's a burning in my pride, a nervous bleeding in my brain
An ounce of peace is all I want for you, Will you never call again?
And will you never say that you love me just to put it in my face
And will you never try to reach me, it is I that wanted space

(Chorus)
Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn't do for you
Hate me in ways, yeah in ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see whats good for you

(Verse 2)
I'm sober now for 3 whole months, it's one accomplishment that you helped me with
The one thing that always tore us apart is the one thing that I won't touch again
In a sick way I want to thank you for holding my head up late at night
While I was busy waging wars on myself, you were trying to stop the fight
You never doubted my warped opinions on things like suicidal hate
You made me compliment myself when it was way too hard to take
So I'll drive so fucking far away that I'll never cross your mind
And do whatever it takes in your heart to leave me behind

(Chorus)
Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn't do for you
Hate me in ways, yeah ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see whats good for you


(Verse 3)
And with a sad heart I say bye to you and wave
Kicking shadows on the street for every mistake that I have made
And like a baby boy I never was a man
Until I saw your blue eyes cry and I held your face in my hand
And then I fell down yelling make it go away,
Just make her smile come back and shine just like it used to be
And then she whispered "How can you do this to me?"

(Chorus)
Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn't do for you
Hate me in ways, yeah ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see whats good for you
For You
For You
For You

[Great song, if you haven't heard it, look it up, it's called "Hate Me" by Blue October]

you know you're living in 2006 when:


1) you accidentally enter your password on a microwave.


2) you haven't played solitaire with real cards in years


3) thE reaL reason for not staying in touch with friends is that they don't have a screen name


4) you'd rather look all over the house for the remote instead of just pushing to button on the tv.


6) your boss doesnt even have the ability to do your job.


7) you read this list, & keep nodding and smiling


8) as you read this list, you think about sending it to all your friends


9) and.. you were to busy to notice number 5.


10) you actually scrolled back up to check that there was no 5


11) & now you're laughing at your stupidity


12) You actually post this somewhere so your friends can see it.


I'm SO living in 2006
