Like I was thinking
All I want to do all day is watch Scrubs, What I like About you, read various books and go outside....all in the while I am wearing my pearls (except if I'm going to play some sports of course!)
No, I hope it gets slammed in YOUR face.
Thank you.
I think it's safe to say that saying those two words are faster and easier to say than typing it, writing it, or even thinking it. I always thought that in Canada and in developed countries, manners come in a packaged deal for middle class families; especially if they're white. If your mom or dad gives you food so you can live to do all of those thoughts that you have concocted from the streaming media that is Disney, wouldn't you say thank you? And would you not say thank you to your mom and dad for allowing you to live in their house until you're old enough to move out or pay them rent?
I know if I didn't say thank you or please to my parents or grandparents, I would never hear the end of it...or even feel the end of it.
Even in school manners were applied and enforced. I remember a classmate who didn't say thank you and gave the teacher attitude about when asked, got a half hour detention after school. Now, was it really worth it?
Pride can be such a bitch.
So given all of that training, conditoning, and reminding, how come you will not say thank you to a nine year old girl who is standing there and blantly holding the door for you? Next time, I'm just going to instruct her to slam to door on your face so the whole world can see your dirty ass on the ground.
Everybody is an offender. I have to say "your welcome" in a monotone and unpleased voice just so you're reminded of what manners are. They really only are one to two letter words that take less than two seconds to say. They don't even require that much input from higher level brain functions.
Furthermore and to a close, you disappoint me. I would throw my fruit at you, but the fruit's too good for you.
On a happier note, I'm getting the Loop backpack that I have been eyeing at since Christmas! It was much cheaper buying it on Ebay so I guess you were right Will.
People talk about travelling a lot and going out to see the world, but for now I am dreaming of wearing awesome Diesel jeans and vintage clothing from The Paper Bag Princess (along with my loop backpack of course!). Not just vintage clothing, but clothing with patterns that boggle your mind and jeans that make your heart skip a beat. They might not be as powerful as that hot guy from Rutherford or Cameron but I think they'll keep me happy.
Yes, that did sound materialistic.
Were you looking for an excuse after that?
I'm tired of excuses. In other words, I don't care.
I just finished the hardest test in the world on Friday and now I'm off to do my two psychology assigments, Political Science midterm and paper, and Witchcraft presentation.
But first, the snow has to be shoveled.
