    I just had a moment where I realized I am aging...and changing. Or is this what people call "maturation"?

    In the past, I would have never walked away. I would have ripped you a new one, verbally because using physical aggression is beneath me. Probably in public, too. Now, I am more inclined to shake my head and walk away because people like you are not worth my time, in my opinion.

    Or am I becoming a coward?

    Maybe verbal abuse is also beneath you as well. Verbal abuse isn't any better than physical abuse.

    Verbal abuse is *somewhat* more tolerable; at least everybody walks away from verbal abuse.

    Some people learn manners after a good *** whooping. Many a humble pie was served back when dueling was an appropriate way to satisfy honour.

    Why did I eat that ho ho? I didn't even taste as good as I imagined it to be.

    People forget as soon as their bruises heal. I am a girl, so getting into a physical altercation is inconvenient. Not to mention that there is an over abundance of big stupid people. Well, my size hasn't stopped them from hitting me, male or female. But I have successfully fended off potential bullying and harassment by giving verbal beat downs. My original post has gotten off topic. I feel I need to defend my honorable self, pshhhh. To think I was talking about a fake friend.

    On another note, I am going camping and hiking this weekend! I am not an outdoors person but I am quite excited. I only know 1 out of the 7 ppl who are going. Well, it is good to make new friends.
    I like me.

    Yes, get to know more friends. Human beings are social organisms.

    Hiking is really a different sort of exercise compared with going to the gym!

    I might have to retract my criticism of Twitter: although I still personally feel it's daft and I don't plan to use it, I do recall several stories about it being used to save lives (e.g. suicide intervention and warning people away from a hazardous area), in a way that perhaps could not have been duplicated using other forms of communication.

    Anything that saves lives can't be completely lame, even if I don't care for it.

    Waiting for the postal worker to deliver my package from Amazon and knowing it would come today is pure agony. Well, I may exaggerate, but he sure is taking his sweet time to deliver a box.

    Stop pondering why and enjoy it.

    I am determined to get my laundry done today. Let's just hope I still hold on to that determination after I leave work.

    One person leaving the house has a 50/50 chance of getting there on time. But two people from the same house leaving the house will not get there on time. I give it 40% chance.
