What I learned this weekend
April 10th, 2006 Rachel1. Onions are…the devil. I’m not allergic, but I would truly appreciate it if everyone would participate and act as though I am allergic to them/their smell/the way they look/the thought of ‘em. Please, and thank you.
2. When you depress your friends by moving, they might bake to feel a little better. This may not be much of a consolation prize, but it does taste so very good…
3. Fake tan stuff is messy. And difficult. But utterly fantastic for masking the pasty whiteness that comes from hibernating under a pile of Canadian snow for four months.
4. When the people you’re meeting up with at the restaurant say "I’m right here…by the front door…can’t you see me waving?" they are indeed at the same restaurant, merely at the wrong location. Oops. (Another downside to food chain-ness).
5. 9 in 10 statistics students put off learning the subject material until the last minute (okay, I actually learned this one today, Monday…but the source is so very important and reliable that I had to include it, no?)
6. When they say "oh it’s not bad at all…" about the smoking section of the restaurant, don’t believe ‘em. And when you go over and check it out and just how wrong they are becomes known, *don’t* be afraid to push for the non-smoking table you really want (thank you, Adam).
7. Sometimes there was more going on in someone’s troubled life than you knew. Hopefully you find this out once they’ve bounced back and are doing great again.
8. Don’t get angry at the ‘random’ guy who appears to be boxing you in on the left until you rule out for sure that you know him. (Sorree Lee…)
9. "Liquor before beer, you’re in the clear…Beer before Liquor…" is true for even a few sips.
10. I will never ever ever get over how much pasta the guys at Big Poppa’s pile onto one plate. Little Mama size…when the meat sweats start, it’s time to put the fork down and push the plate away…
