Say it with Cake

I have realized that the best way to get a person's heart is by something delicious. Although the doctor lady says its bad to equate food with emotions, we all do it! I brought a cake home for my sister's birthday and she was so thrilled. I made sure to also get gluten-free muffins for my dad. Just wait, more and more people will have allergies because now we will be more able to diagnose it or able to compliment them. So if this was 2100, naturally I will read this in the future and laugh at the media ploy, like y2k: how many people out there bought a generator?

In 2100 we will all be so advanced. Think about the amount of "intelligence" or really just data a computer will have? I set up my desktop computer, finally, and it was complicated.. or really just took effort and time. And the printer for some unknown reason, does not work, when it worked before (amazing.)

And now I have a laptop I could ship on ebay way easier than a VCR going out tomorrow. Thanks to my buyer. I wrote him a thank you card, to be nice, but forgot to put it with the item and taped it shut. So I wrote it to myself. Does anyone out there write something for someone and then not send it? I've never done this before to be honest. I have written in a diary or forget to send (like that unthankful thank you card). That is all I attest to, but I understand it releases the anger and by not sending it there is less drama. Maybe it should be sent?

Another thing I wanted to talk about: screeners? We all know who you are. In this cellular society, we all have a different connection to our phones. Some message on their phone constantly, some check casually. Either way, when it beeps or vibrates, those who have ears are aware of the situation.

The problem is: who's call to avoid and who's to answer?

1.) An ex? They can be the immediate- answer right away, or- rather not, or- should I answer? Everyone "understands" ignoring their call so it really is a freebie.

2.) A family member. Also depends, I find emailing my parents easiest to be honest because they always call me at a bad time some way or another. Another freebie

3.) Acquaintance. Most likely answer because I am curious what they want. But you could play it off-- thats kinda weird he/she is calling me...

4.) Friends: This is the valuable part of the exercise. Please stop ignoring these calls. The main reason depends on how often it is done. It becomes obvious if you start ignoring a friend's call in front of another friend. Mainly because when the friend you were with calls you later and you don't answer, she will knowingly convict you of screening. A crime punishable by the fashion place.

Oscars eating toilet paper. Yum.

And pushed my phone under the bed.

bad dog.

When she says, "I don't care"...

"Do what I say now or else..." OR "do what you want, I don't care" are big signs that you are in deep doodoo. It is truly the response to "does this dress make me look fat?" No response is a good one. Its especially annoying when it becomes your fault in the end, inevitably because your dammed if you, and dammed if you don't. How do you get by scott free? The best thing to do is tell it like it is. If you are backed into a corner or slowly digging the ditch, the worst thing to do is say "You." "You did this, you are digging my grave, you did the deed with ((insert name here))... you ruined my life." It is best to say, "I." "I definitely see no fat in that dress. I want to do that but I..." The second you say "you".... Such as: "I would but you and ((he-who-must-not-be-named))"...It all goes down hill. Stick to the word I and avoid you. If she calls the kettle black, then say something right then and there. Do NOT under any circumstance, start with I and end with you. Also, leave the "but" out of it as well. If, ands or but's if all else fails, and you genuinley tried the "I" approach... then she is way too controlling and you need to get out before you are whipped like Cool Whip.
