I appreciate that shoe stores have footsies... but I do not appreciate those shoe stores that do not provide a trash bin near the shoes. I don't want to take these footsies home with my new shoes.

Please try and remove stray hairs that may be on your clothing... chances are if we are in a conversation and I notice it, don't expect me to pay very good attention to what you're saying anymore.

Yeah food network, I probably would be able to make a fantastic meal if I had your budget- which I don't- and a stock room of food that I happen to have "on hand"- which I never do.

Ever notice how ridiculous people look when a bug is flying near them or by their head? Funny to watch, not so funny to have happen to you.

Has anyone noticed how much little, random crap is actually by a register in a store? Yesterday, I saw: giant calculators, over-priced batteries, three different sizes of Sharpie markers- minis, regular, and over-sized, Bandannas, and chocolates.

There is a definite point in a class when you go from taking notes and studying, to doing the least amount of work needed to pass the class.

I think I learn more from the Discovery channel, Food Network, & Animal Planet than I do in some of my classes. If watching the Discovery Channel was considered a class, I'd totally take that class.

Anyone else ever had a heart palpitation? It's entirely awkward and frustrating that my body makes me worry for my life for about 3 seconds.

I sound like a bed hog when my boyfriend tells me about how I steal the covers and push him up against the wall when we're sleeping. Ok, ok... I'll fess up to the blanket stealing... but the pushing up against the wall? I think he rolls away at night and leaves me cuddle-buddy-less. I'd like to think of it more in terms of being cuddly and wanting to be close to him. I'm not so sure he agrees...

I'm willing to go above and beyond for you, body. If you feel a cold coming on... together, we will rise to the occasion... take drugs to feel better... sleep like it's our job... Drink fluids until we feel like we're going to throw up... Body, together, we will have VICTORY!

I really should retire these jeans. They are becoming see-through in the ass and getting holes near the back pockets. But they're too comfy and I plan on wearing them until my underwear is officially seen by the public.

Feminine Hygiene Products should be free, it would probably help release some tension of the whole PMS phase... at least financially.

One of my goals in life is to go into a coffee shop and have the barista know my order without me saying anything. Or something along the lines of, "yeah, I'll have my usual"... and they would know it.

When I clean, I tend to disinfect the hell out of the area I'm cleaning... but then usually have to leave the room for several minutes to escape the intense fume-age I had created with all the spraying.

I'm pretty sure I always have someone with me when I encounter a door that is rather difficult to open. Then they usually assist me in opening the door, like I'm weak... Door, you embarrass me.

feeling something in my shoe that should not be there, a random hair on my arm which i can not locate in order to remove, and an itch i can not scratch are probably my top three most easily noticed and irritatingly bothersome feelings.

I've noticed that people start dressing for summer the FIRST day it gets warm out... It's terribly mis-leading. Spring is never consistent in it's weather behaviors... if i trusted in it, i would be constantly disappointed.

My frustrated thoughts during one of my professor's lectures: "If it weren't for your stupid attendance policy, there's no way in hell I'd ever attend your class. I shouldn't technically even be considered as "attending", because the whole time I'm wishing to be elsewhere and watching the time pass (4 minutes 37 seconds in). Your horrible "sense of humor", terrible monotonous lectures, weird & careless facial expressions, and damn powerpoint lectures are going to be the death of me... Fuck... 45 minutes left".

I never fail to recognize how soft and comfy the blankets on my bed are in the morning, on days when I have to get out of bed and truly don't want to. Getting up and walking past my bed 20 times while getting ready is torture. I swear those blankets taunt me.

I consider myself to be a rather fast walker, but I never realize just how fast I'm going until I come up on slow walkers and I feel like I'm going to run them over.
