As I've matured...

(not that it has actually happened for me, maturity I mean)

I was cleaning my room today since I will be moving in June and I had some extra time before LOST. I have to admit to slight embarrassment regarding the state of my bedroom. I actually like to dust but sometimes things will pile up on my desk, dresser and nightstand, things like mail, new cell phone boxes, pretty much just use your imagination. Well, when all the surfaces are hidden, no dusting necessary. So it was time to dust, no more excuses since I have graduated now and don't have school to blame for the "piles" in my room. I needed a little break so I stopped and got online. Sacha had sent me this e-mail titled "As I've matured..." and for your reading pleasure:


I've learned that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is stalk them and hope they panic and give in.

I've learned that one good turn gets most of the blankets.

I've learned that no matter how much I care, some people are just jackasses.

I've learned that it takes years to build up trust, and it only takes suspicion, not proof, to destroy it.

I've learned that whatever hits the fan will not be evenly distributed.

I've learned that you shouldn't compare yourself to others - they are more screwed up than you think.

I've learned that depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.

I've learned that it is not what you wear; it is how you take it off.

I've learned that you can keep vomiting long after you think you're finished.

I've learned to not sweat the petty things, and not pet the sweaty things.

I've learned that ex's are like fungus, and keep coming back.

I've learned age is a very high price to pay for maturity.

I've learned that I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy it.

I've learned that we are responsible for what we do, unless we are celebrities.

I've learned that artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.

I've learned that 99% of the time when something isn't working in your house, one of your kids did it

I've learned that there is a fine line between genius and insanity.

I've learned that the people you care most about in life are taken from you too soon and all the less important ones just never go away. And the real pains in the ass are permanent.

Well, I've learned that if you put off cleaning up the piles, it sucks!
