* I'm a terrible Scrabble player.
* Don't touch the glass part of halogen light bulbs. The oil on your hands will make it get hotter and burn out faster.
* Secrets are a lot of fun at first. But they inevitably will lose some of the fun when the burden of knowing and not being able to talk about it sets in. Then the burden turns into frustration and impatience. And to convincingly stifle a really good laugh is one of the hardest things in the world to do.
* I feel a sense of victory when I gently machine wash expensive, hand-wash-or-dry-clean-only sweaters and they comes out just as well.

* Happy new year. How's it going so far?
* It's almost always tough to embrace change. Especially if that change involves having to make choices. Along with it comes confusion, fear, uncertainty, among other things. I would tell you how to deal with all that, but I'm still clueless myself.
* Employers do notice the design of your resume.
* Twelve pounds apparently is pretty big for a cat.
* " ... and romance is scary as hell ... just the idea of putting that much emotion into something and opening yourself up to the potential heartbreak and the potential harm that can come from committing to something full on is scary." Yep.
* When do the people you spend your time with become more important than where you're spending it? Do they ever? Are they always?
* And when is it not crazy to do things to make yourself happy instead of doing things because you think you're supposed to? And not in that cheesy, "carpe diem" sort of way, but realistically? Is it ever? Is it always?
* Not once since I've entered the "real world" have I used anything I learned in high school trig. Not once have I needed to really think about declarative vs. imperative sentences. Or the anatomy of a frog. Or the chemical make up of isotopes. Or Greek and Roman architecture. How did I spend the equivalent of more than 15 years in class and still have so many questions?
