"The Unwritten Rule"

“I know I’m not the only girl without someone but sometimes it sure feels like it.”


“There are a million rules for being a girl. There are a million things you have to do to get through each day. High school has things that can trip you up, ruin you, people smile and say one thing but mean another, and you have to know all the rules, you have to know what you can and can’t do.”


“I just see him and it’s terrifying how easliy he gets to me, how he’s shaped my heart.”


“I was to sad for tears, hurt in deep nameless way that made me feel ashamed.”


“I’ve been taught that love is beautiful and kind, but it isn’t like that at all. It is beautiful, but it’s a terrible beautiful, a ruthless one, and you fall- you fall, and the thing is- the thing is you want to. You don’t care what’s coming, you just want who your heart beats for.”

Diversity Day

Michael Scott: ...some burritos or some colored greens or some pad thai.

Stanley: It's collard greens.

Michael Scott: What?

Stanley: It's collard greens.

Michael Scott: That doesn't make sense. You don't call them 'collard people'... that's offensive.

......

Michael Scott: [to Oscar] Let me ask you, is there a term besides 'Mexican' that you prefer? Something less offensive?

......

Mr. Brown: Mr. Brown.

Michael Scott: Oh! Okay first test, I will not call you that.

Mr. Brown: Well it's my name, it's not a test.

......

Dwight Schrute: Can we steer away from gay people? I'm sorry it's an orientation not a race. Plus, a lot of other races are intolerant of gays, so paradox..

-The Dundies-


Michael Scott: The Busiest Beaver Award goes to Phyllis Lappen! Yeah! Way to go, Phyllis! Nice work! Her usual!

Phyllis: It says 'Bushiest Beaver'.

Michael Scott: I told them busiest... idiots!

......

Dwight Schrute: Having a bathroom is a privilege. It is called a 'ladies room' for a reason. And if you can not behave like ladies, well then you are not going to have a bathroom.

......

-Conflict Resolution-

Jim Halpert: This came out really well. There you go. [hands Dwight his new ID]

Dwight Schrute: This is humongous, I am not a security threat. And my middle name is Kurt, not Fart.

Jim Halpert: What did I write?

......

Michael Scott: Someone complained that the men's room is whites only. Stanley, you know that's not true.

Stanley: I didn't say that.

Creed: Then why is there a picture of a white man on the door?

......

-Sexual Harrasment-

Michael Scott: Stanley, how about that hot picture you have by your desk? Centerfold in the Catholic schoolgirls' outfit? I mean it is hot, it is sexy and it turns him on and I will admit- best part of my morning is staring at it. But what are we just going to take it away?

Stanley: That is my daughter, she goes to Catholic girls school. I'm taking it down right now.

.....

Michael Scott: A guy goes to a $5 lady of the night, and he gets crabs. So the next day he goes back to complain and the woman says, 'Hey, it was only $5, what did you expect... lobster?'

Yes. You two love each other. We know. But as we’re walking down a crowded hall, we do not need you two to block our paths and we don’t want to see you two behind the vending machines locked at the lips. Keep it to yourselves people

— Youth in Revolt: Journals of Nick Twisp by C.D Payne

First, he’s very gangly. I’ve never liked gangly guys, and he’s clumsy, skinny, and always in motion. It’s not surprising that we became friends with him crashing into me in various ways. He’s always jiggling his knees, or drumming his fingers, as if revving up, just waiting for the checkered flag to drop so he can spin out at full speed. I used to find myself constantly reaching over and trying to quiet him, covering his knee or fingers with my hand, thinking it would silence him, when instead I would be caught up in it with him, jangling along, as if whatever current charged him was nor flowing through me.



Point two: He’s a slob. He’s all lose ends, and I hate lose ends.


Point three: He might have really liked me. Not in an only-until-the end-of–school way, which was safest. In fact we never talked about the future at all, as if we had so much time.

We have to forgive to survive in the labyrinth. There are so many of us who have to live with things done and things left undone each day. Things that don’t go right, things that seem okay at the time because we can’t see the future. If only we could see the endless string of consequences that result from our smallest actions. But we can’t know better until knowing better is useless.

This Lullaby

“Relationships always start off with that heavy swoonish period, where the other person is like some new invention that suddenly solves all life’s worst problems, like losing socks in the dryer or toasting bagels without burning the edges. At this phase, which usually lasts about six weeks max, the other person is perfect. But at six weeks and two days, the cracks begin to show; not real structural damage yet, but the little things that niggle and nag. Like the way they always assume you’ll pay for your own movie, just because you did once, or how they us the dashboard of their car as an imaginary keyboard at stop lights. Once, you might have thought this was cute, or endearing. Now it annoys you, but not enough to change anything. Come week eight, though, the strain is starting to show. This person is, in fact, human, and here’s where most relationships splinter and die. Because either you stick around and deal with these problems, or ease out gracefully, knowing that at some point in the not-too distant future there will emerge another perfect person, who will fix everything, at least for six weeks.”

I LOVE you, Beth Cooper

Denis Cooverman: I'm sorry I'm so pathetic.

Beth Cooper: Let me tell you something. All boys are pathetic.

Denis Cooverman: Well, then I apologize on behalf of all boys. And sorry for all the wars and stuff.

Beth Cooper: You're funny

Islam, Christianity, and Buddhismeach have founding fathers

......Muhammad, Jesus, and the Buddha, respectively. And in thinking about these founder figures, I believe we must finally conclude that each brought a message of radical hope. To seventh-century Arabia, Muhammad brought the promise that any-one could find fulfillment and everlasting life through allegiance to the one true God. The Buddha held out hope that suffering could be transcended. Jesus brought the message that the last shall be first, that even the tax collectors and the lepers-the outcasts-had cause for hope. And so that is the question: What is your cause for hope?

Wow. I can’t believe I had to read a book to realize why I’m scared of realtionships

“But it’s probably a total waste,” I told him “Why bother?”

He put down the camera and looked at me, really looked at me, not through the lens, or from the side, just me and him. “That’s the big question, isn’t it?” he said. “That’s the whole problem here. I think they just might come out. Maybe they won’t be perfect- I mean, they could be blurred, or cut off in the middle- but I’m thinking it’s worth a short, That’s just me, though.”


I just stood there, blinking, as he lifted the camera up and took one more shot of me. I stared straight at him as it clicked, letting him know I got his little metaphor.

“But holding people away form you, and denying yourself love, that doesn’t make you strong. If anything, it makes you weaker. Because you’re doing it out of fear.”

“Fear of what?” I said.

“Of taking that chance,” she said simply. Of letting go and giving into it, and that’s what makes us what we are. Risks. That’s living. Being too sacred to even try it-that’s just a waste. I can say I made a lot of mistakes, but I don’t regret things. Because at lease I didn’t spend a life standing outside, wondering what living would be like.”

“You spend your whole life stuck in the labyrinth, thinking about how you’ll escape it one day, and how awesome it will be, and imagining that future keeps you going, but you never do it. You just use the future to escape the present.”

-John Green

The way young people speak about one another’s bodies says a great deal about our society. In today’s world, boys are much more likely to objectify girls’ bodies than the other way around. Boys will say amongst themselves that so-and-so has a nice rack, while girls will more likely say that a boy is cute, a term that describes both physical and emotional characteristics. This has the effect of turning girls into mere objects, while boys are seen by girls as whole people.

Miswanting: Unhappy with Having It All

Image via Wikipedia

 Most people have no idea what will make us happy. So we go after something we think will make us happy and might be temporarily be elated when we get it. Ultimately, we end up disappointed because the thing-whether it’s say, getting into college or snagging a job-doesn’t have the enduring, euphoric emotional payoff that we thought it would. So we set our sights on something else we think will make us happy, only to repeat the cycle indefinably until we die. The upside to this is that the same holds true for negative experiences. Something we think will kill us-say, a best friend moving a thousand miles away or a boyfriend choosing a college across the country-won’t have the long-term devastation on our psyches that we think it will.

Santa in Summer

Image by kevindooley via Flickr

Think about the very concept of Santa for a second: A fat senior citizen in a tacky red suit flies around in a sleigh pulled by magic reindeer, delivering gifts for all the good little boys and girls in the world in just one night. It’s absurd. Yet kids totally buy it. Totally. And in small children that pure, untainted faith is a beautiful thing. In grown adults, however, I find it disturbing. After all, how different is Santa from Jesus and Buddha and Allah and so on?

I used to be down on bloggers, thinking that they’re just as bad as public masturbators. But there’s something to be said for believing in your convictions so completely and confidently you put them out there for anyone to see.

The Irony within Marriage Present day and Past

Image by epSos.de via Flickr

Back in the early 17th c.e, merely everyone married for money. Back then, as throughout human history, marriage was primarily a financial arrangement, more about the merging of property and assets than hearts and souls. If you were lucky, you eventually fell in love with the person you married, but it was by no means a guarantee. Couples stayed together because of the stigma of divorce, of course, but also because they learned to live happily together (i think) within these lowered expectations.



Ironic but true: It’s only when people started marrying for ‘love’, and not money that connubial miseries intensified and divorce skyrocketed.

A sort of existentialism

Humans are uniquely adapted for narrative constructions. Studies indicate that we begin to see ourselves as characters in our own life stories in adolescence, with key periods serving as different chapters. The most dramatic events are presented as the key scenes to the overall plot, the high points and low points of one’s life story. The tales we tell ourselves about ourselves make us who we are. But storytelling not only defines who we already are, it also has the power to determine who we will be.

Secret Life

Image via Wikipedia

I have no idea why I bothered watching the Secret Life marathon. Actually I do..it’s addicting.ha. Even though every other word that comes out of everyone’s mouth is ‘sex’. Gryffin: “Is it true that you only got on the pill to have ‘sex’ with Ricky. Not so that we could have ‘sex’. I thought you wanted to have ‘sex’ with me. That’s why we talked about you getting on the pill.. So you could have ‘sex’ with me not ‘sex’ with Ricky!” HAha..I should keep a count of how many times they say it. The show is so absurd..everyone is pregnant, everyone wants to get married, and Ricky is trying to get into every breathing girls pants. ..hmm imagnie if high school really was like that. It’s funny how television portrays high school. They’re soo far of. Thank god that's over.

So the dorm announcement wasn't on Aug 1. I have to wait until sept 1!! Arghh I don't think I can take it any more the suspense is killing me. I feel anxious and overwhelmed and school hasn't even started. Fine if I've waited 18 years for college. I figure one more month won't kill me.
