Seriously? I love God, for one, and for two, I'm pretty sure I'm actually helping His cause. Do you have any idea how many times His name gets taken in vain over stupid email forwards? And America? Let's not even go there.
So I'm not sure why I'm posting a few "random thoughts" from a forward my boss just sent me. I hate to admit it, but some of these made me laugh out loud (and I hate to admit that because you know, they're from an email forward, and I HATE
Without further ado (read: rambling), here you go -- fifteen of my favorite!
Random Thoughts For The Day (with some of my thoughts in bold):
1. Lol has gone from meaning, "laugh out loud" to "I have nothing else to say."
2. How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear what someone said?
3. Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.
4. I like all of the music in my iTunes, except when it's on shuffle, then I like about one in every fifteen songs in my iTunes. (This is inexplicably true!)
5. More often than not, when someone is telling me a story, all I can think about is that I can’t wait for them to finish so that I can tell my own story that’s not only better, but also more directly involves me. (I really hate this. Do I do this? Please tell me if I do this.)
6. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.
7. I think everyone has a movie that they love so much, it actually becomes stressful to watch it with other people. I'll end up wasting 90 minutes shiftily glancing around to confirm that everyone's laughing at the right parts, then making sure I laugh just a little bit harder (and a millisecond earlier) to prove that I'm still the only one who really, really gets it.
8. How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?
9. I would rather try to carry 10 grocery bags in each hand than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in. (This is so me. It's embarrassing.)
10. Was learning cursive really necessary?
11. Why is it that during an ice-breaker, when the whole room has to go around and say their name and where they are from, I get so incredibly nervous? Like I know my name, I know where I'm from, this shouldn't be a problem....
12. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you've made up your mind that you just aren’t doing anything productive for the rest of the day.
13. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after DVDs? I don't want to have to restart my collection.
14. MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
15. The only time I look forward to a red light is when I’m trying to finish a text.What about you? Can you claim any of these as your own? 'fess up....

2. Happens to me on a regularly basis. I swear I forget English sometimes.
6. I took them back and use them to survive medical school.
7. YES YES YES. I have stopped watching about 5 movies with other people because I want so badly to like them as much as I do, because I can't handle ANY distractions when I'm watching them, and because I forget that there just may be a reason they wouldn't agree that they are the BEST MOVIES EVER.
8. My dad can. He's a super hero.
11. I failed an icebreaker today. First I spelled my name wrong on the sign-in sheet. Then I spaced out mid sentence. Then I forgot what year of school I was in and said the wrong one. Yessssss.
12. The moment came for me about 20 minutes ago.
15. Did it this evening!
These are GREAT, Beth! So funny . . . and true.
