jumping on the LOVE bandwagon

-

no I’m not going all sister wives on you ... don’t get me kidding.. if I could get away with having a hubby that wasn’t constantly pestering me for sexy time cuz he was getting it on with his “other wife” and just indulge in sexy time when and if I felt like it... that might be ok.. maybe... now I’m all confused.. why aren’t we all in these kinds of relationships?

well... I’m not going to try and solve the relationship woes of the world... mostly because I’m too tired after studying for my midterm for 5 hours and then working another 2 hours on lab prep... that I’m amazed I’m able to pull together a sentence that is even remotely coherent.

I’m sidetracked again.. I think. What was my topic again?

OH yes. love.

SO .. it seems like the hate is all over the blogosphere lately... Oh, Noa., socialassassin, "Jen" e sais quoi, Becky.. they are all feeling the hate. Which makes me oh so very happy.. but rather than just attach my own hate to their amazing awesomeness... I’m going in the opposite direction.

LOVE!

I’m going to name some of the people of the world that I actually LOVE .. they are rare.. I admit.. (point of fact, I actually only had one in mind when I started writing, but I’m sure they’ll come to me as I go)

drivers who signal wave at crosswalks
as a broke college student, I’m cursed with the awful life of taking transit and walking ... and there is nothing more frustrating that knowing whether or not the self absorbed cuntcake in the amped up SUV is paying attention to the fact that there is someone at the crosswalk or what her BFF lol’ed at in her latest text.. so a little nod, wave, smile... SOMETHING.. goes a long way to let me know that I don’t have to stop and WAIT to make sure you are stopping.. cuz getting mangled wasn’t really in my plan for the day... thanks.

good customer service in retail
I don’t mean the irritating greeters or mofo’s that ask “welcome! do you need any help” when you immediately walk into a store... those people drive me fucking crazy. If I’m walking into a store it’s for one of two reasons... I’m just looking and I would actually like some time to browse before I am accosted by sales clerks OR I already know what I want and you’re a useless waste of retail garbage.
Sorry.. sorry.. hate tangent. (it’s just so easy)  ..OK .. so I love those store clerks that pay attention to the fact that I’ve perused the same section for a good 10 minutes now and am NOT finding what I’m looking for... I’m shy and have anxiety so approaching people has never generally been one of my strong suits... since I’ve met so many of you wonderful people on twitter and through blogging it seems like anxiety is a common thread among us... so having someone come up to me is SO much nicer than me having to seek someone out and feel like the idiot who can’t locate something that is so obviously right THERE.

polite and awesome transit folks
these are SO few and far between that when I do meet one they catch my attention immediately... these people include those who: wait in the proper line and don’t budge, don’t block the doorways on the train, give up their seats to those in need (elderly, disabled and pregnant women), walk in an orderly fashion, stick to the sides of the stairwell so those who want to run down the stairs have room to do so, have their shit out and ready so as not to hold up the bus line-up, don’t continue to talk to me once I put my headphones back in ..indicating that I don’t ..in fact.. want to talk to you, don’t block the entire aisle with their big bulky shit, play their annoying music so loud I can hear it over my noise cancelling earbuds.... I think that’s it, but I retain the right to add to the list at any time.

people who move to the right lane when someone comes behind them who is clearly going faster
I can’t say this enough... I LOVE YOU PEOPLE.. this is how the world should work.



there you have it... people that don’t suck... and actually make the world a better place.

you know who else makes the world just that much more awesome?

YOU!

yes you.. all you people out there that read my blog even though it’s just a mishmash of shit that usually doesn’t make any sense whatsoever.. I love you guys... thanks so much for being you!

    As someone who walked EVERYWHERE for 8 full years (broke college student and young adult) I too grew to love the I-see-you-in-the-crosswalk-hand-wave-have-a-nice-day!

    I'm glad you wrote a post about your loves, rather than your hates :)

    All of the things you listed are thing is love too, but they are really supposed to be common courtesy. It's too bad these types of courtesy aren't more common!

    In my experience, retail people are completely useless. They hop all over you like a neglected puppy when you first walk into the store and don't need any help, and then when you actually do they're nowhere to be found...probably because they're peeing on something or eating their poop (you know, cuz they're puppies).

    Ohooooo I was just complaining to myself today about rude drivers and pedestria's. A nod/wave/smile goes a long long long way. It is basic manners & common courtesy
    . Things that your mother taught you (or does she not teach this anymore?). During my rant (to myself) I was trying to figure out a way I could start an international movement re-teaching basic manners. I didn't come up with much, so instead shook my head & gave my "you are a piece of pooh" face at the next driver that was rude.

Kitty, I don’t need help to go to the bathroom. “meow?” Kitty, I’ve given you loves… what else do you want? “meow?” Are you hungry? Do you need water? (cleans and refills water dish. Gives kitty a treat) There… happy now? “meow?” Fuck you kitty. (putting on pants in the morning, notice that there is about a pound of cat hair on them) Kitty… I just brushed  you last night.. how is this possible? “meow?” Seriously… how can you have your winter coat.. ALL YEAR LONG? “meow?” I swear… I’m shaving you bald. Would you like that? “meow?” Nevermind. (walking down the hallway to the bathroom first thing in the morning, suddenly a black mass of fuzz comes zooming past almost knocking me over) Kitty… is it really necessary for you to beat me to the bathroom door? “meow?” No really… you almost killed me…. again. “meow?” Do you even feel sorry? “meow?” One of these days kitty, one of these days....

dancing around the room like a fool

My summer term is FINALLY over! Now I can stop driving you all crazy with random tweets about organic chemistry and the excessive amount of negative energy I put out there before and after every midterm. I have massive self doubt, and even when I'm sure I know the material and have done a good job, I still don't believe I got a good grade. Part of it is because of my test anxiety, as I've NEVER scored well on tests before.  This term I don't expect to get the A- that I achieved for the first term, but I'm happy as long as I pass. Which I'm almost certain that I did. (did you catch that almost, there's my self doubt) On the heels of my great news, comes some sad news too. The bf has lost his job. Since he was the sole supporter of the family while I was in school, I don't know that I'll be able to attend full time classes this fall unless he finds a new job. Therefore, I've taken some precautionary measures. I've emailed regarding defer...

Did You Know.... chemistry is fun!

did you know that chemistry is fun? I see you guys shaking your heads... but it is really.. I promise! Where else can you relate the geometry of molecules to porn stars boobs? ...CIS AND TRANS baby! (that probably won't make sense to 50% of you, but that's ok) It's also what makes up our entire universe... the UNIVERSE people... without chemistry, we wouldn't exist. That's basically all kinds of awesomesauce right there. You know what else you can do with chemistry... you can make bizarre analogies like USe your Vacuum while wAtching TV and Hang Your Shorts Please! (or something like that, I’m not quite sure) ALSO ... chemistry has BIG ligands.... like, real big. (it’s a good thing) ..oh, and “that’s what she said” this random post is brought to you by “Did You Know” from Just Jennifer and MotherhoodTruth ... you should definitely check them out... and link up.. cuz I’d like to know what you all know... and because Jen is super ...
