I think part of a best friend’s job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.<br/><br/>2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong.<br/><br/>3. I totally take back all those times I didn’t want to nap when I was younger.<br/><br/>4. There is great need for a sarcasm font.<br/><br/>5. How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet? <br/><br/>6. Was learning cursive really necessary?<br/><br/>7. Map Quest really needs to start their directions on #5. I’m pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.<br/><br/>8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.<br/><br/>9. I can’t remember the last time I wasn’t at least kind of tired.<br/><br/>10. Bad decisions make good stories.<br/><br/>11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren’t going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.<br/><br/>12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don’t want to have to restart my collection…again.<br/><br/>13. I’m always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page research paper that I swear I did not make any changes to.<br/><br/>14. “Do not machine wash or tumble dry” means I will never wash this—ever.<br/><br/>15. I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Damn it!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail. What did you do after I didn’t answer? Drop the phone and run away?<br/><br/>16. I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.<br/><br/>17. I keep some people’s phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.</p> <p>18. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.<br/><br/>19. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lite than Kay.</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/FlashTraffic/~4/2u3np2CPo38" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/FlashTraffic/~3/2u3np2CPo38/252143882http://flashtraffic.tumblr.com/post/252143882Sat, 21 Nov 2009 13:26:17 -0600http://flashtraffic.tumblr.com/post/252143882<a href="http://www.desktopblues.lichtlabor.ch/">Be your own BluesMan</a>: <p>I’m loving this little interactive</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/FlashTraffic/~4/sl51eHoU9SQ" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/FlashTraffic/~3/sl51eHoU9SQ/239327072http://flashtraffic.tumblr.com/post/239327072Tue, 10 Nov 2009 12:14:40 -0600http://flashtraffic.tumblr.com/post/239327072<img src="http://11.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ksko803wCV1qzy3cwo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://loveallthis.tumblr.com/post/238431131">loveallthis</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="http://lab.andre-michelle.com/tonematrix">ToneMatrix</a> is really fun… for two minutes.
