Quickies

1. Buses

Lately I've been in a dangerously bad mood in the mornings and it's been all I can do not to explode with rage every time I'm on the bus. Some guy will inevitably weasel his way into a seat that opens up right next to me every morning, forcing me to stand while 10 people squeeze past where I'm standing in the middle of the aisle. I have a new theory that the murderous ideations of serial killers are born on public transportation, and I dare you to defy me. Also, please don't give me dirty looks while we're across from each other on the bus. It's not my fault that you chose to put on that much eyeliner, lady.

2. Baby's First Car

Last weekend, I purchased my first car. Car shopping is a lot like clothes shopping except... the salespeople are usually fast-talking men, I fit into everything I looked at, and when I went home at the end of the day, I didn't hate my body. Now I'm broke so I won't go clothes shopping for awhile, which makes me sad... but I like my car. I'm trying to think of it as an accessory... like a really expensive, rapidly depreciating scarf.

3. Emotionally Unstable

In my life, a few men have referred to me as "emotionally unstable." This would bother me if I hadn't pieced together a few coincidental facts about these men:
  1. They considered themselves to be very good looking and intelligent.
  2. They were interested in me romantically.
  3. I was not interested in them romantically.
Just throwing this out there, but maybe what's "emotionally unstable" about me is my unshakable opinion that they are undesirable mates. Also, who seems more emotionally unstable: me, or a guy who cries every day? That's what I thought.

4. Science

Science is like the big brother who sometimes lets you have the larger slice of pie for dessert, but then the next day he calls you fat and rubs your face in his dirty underwear. What a fickle, fickle world I work in.

I don't think it's possible to come up with a better metaphor for science. You should be quoted on this.
