1. Don't call when they say will
2. Forget birthdays. ( I don't really care about "anniversaries", but I do care about birthdays!)
3. Forget to say "Thank You".
4. Talk about other women in the presence of the woman who's company they are in.
5. Ignore you when they have someone "better" aka: sluttier/ easier, won't leave you alone when they don't
6. Get sloppy drunk and then try to make out with you (Yuk! Gross slobbery kisses, BLech!)
7. Get pissy when you don't want to see them and would rather be with your friends. (although, to be fair, women do that too. I think that might just be human nature.)

I know that this isn't true for everyone, and I know other people have a far, far longer list. This is just the pet-peeves that come up off the top of my head. Off to write a two page paper. Adios muchachos!

Thank you, Dr. Chlorine, I now have "Hollaback Girl" stuck in my head! As if I don't have enough problems! Off to read. I have gads of homework. No time like the present. Outie.

And so it goes and so it goes. Jason, my dear, you are far too cynical for your own good. I think that you'd be surprised to find that most women would find the idea of that reality show as totally and utterly abhorant. I know I do. Personally, I'm rooting for the prostitutes.

I just spent $52 on 7 books, not bad really, but it's the fact that it's the first 7 out of 11 for just one class that's really bothering me. I have to take this class, or rather an upper level English that's at night, and what's more is that I have to do well. Well for me is a B or over. I have roughly a novel a week to read, two papers, miscellanious creative writing assignments, and a final exam. And this is just the *UNDERGRAD* class! I have 4, yes, count them FOUR, grad. classes.

I shall try to stop whining about it but I don't know if I'll be able. God give me strength to not have a nervous breakdown and to do *Well*! Outie.

So... who's up for meeting out for a few drinks next Friday?

Yesterday, I spent a very pleasant day with my very dear, very pregnant friend, Mrs. Trisha. I had had a class for work downtown at HSBC Tower and after I was finished, I took a drive down Elmwood and over to the Lehnens' new residence. It was so good to be in the city, doing city things. I do love living in the country, but I really love the city and I miss it. It's only been a month of living in the country, but I already miss the convenience of being fifteen minutes from my friends, my church, Delaware Park, etc, etc, etc... So, Trisha and I were on a hunt for a present for her dear husband's birthday, which is today. We tried Talking Leaves, where we got roped into a discussion about ultra- conservative Christian parents trying to tell a teacher what books the students could read. After that, we journeyed down to New World, where I bought an Ella Fitzgerald/ Louis Armstrong c.d. I put it on my credit card which I probably shouldn't have but, seriously, I feel like it was the missing piece in my c.d. collection. It makes me really happy! Then, Trisha and I headed over to Spot, where we saw her old friend, Marc, and then as we sat on their patio, we spotted none other than E-strip's own, Terry! It was good to chat with him for a bit before he headed off to T.K.'s. All in all, it was a lovely evening on the Elmwood Strip.
