The follow list is things I learned in the year 2010. It is in no particular order and I'm sure some of the items will seem odd to the reader of this blog.
Here we go...
*Vampires are still popular... ugh!
*The people who work at mall kiosks are pushy and fake.
*"To Kill a Mockingbird" is an excellent book! I hadn't read it before.
*There is a lot of "@$$-kissing" in the world of retail. I am not able, nor do I have a desire to participate in such actions.
*I get tired of people being fans of really, really stupid crap!
*Cream cheese won-tons are tasty!
*The "Incident" of 2009 was NOT my fault! However, I'm sad to say that the proof of this came with great pain of another.
*(To the instigator of that pain) "Once a douche bag, always a douche bag!"
*Nice guys turn out to be jerks and the jerks turn out to have a good heart.
*I LIKE KILLING ZOMBIES!!! (Left 4 Dead!!!)
*It is not possible to have a genuine "Girls Only" weekend when one of the girls is a married woman. She will call, text, and whine about her spouse and how much she misses him.
*I still want to travel.
*I do want to earn my degree... but it is mostly so I can get a job that actually pays a decent salary.
*I don't want to get old.
*I'm glad I'm no longer a teenager.
*When someone says, "How are you?" or "How's it going?" the only acceptable responses are, "(I'm) Good/great/fine, how are you?"
*People don't really care HOW you're doing... they're just exchanging pleasantries.
*I still have no idea what happened in the movie, "Inception". I think I'll be forever confused on that one. It's almost as bad as "The Matrix".
*I don't like "Glee". I... just... don't.
*"It is what it is" came into my life. I use it now as a sort of mantra.
*Longevity in marriage no longer guarantees eternity.
*While divorce truly is hardest on children, divorce due to unfaithfulness is hardest on the innocent spouse.
*I now have a better understanding of why parents struggle through their child's teenage years.
*The State Fair is more fun when you have a ton of money to blow.
*Wendover is fun--but it sucks when your money gets blown.
*Christmas really has become too commercial.
*People hate people who say, "Christmas is too commercial". I used to hate them too.
*Haunted Houses are much more fun when you go with a group...especially when someone in the group is genuinely scared.
*When you laugh in a Haunted House, the workers don't really bother you.
*The further back they go, the more likely two people will be on the same side.
*Screw your loyalty... we all know I'M RIGHT!!!
*Pride is a nasty business. I've waded through plenty of those waters.
*The older you get, the less cute it is to be a "goody two-shoes".
And finally...
*There comes a point when you have to work things out for yourself. People can't always solve your problems when they've got a huge pile of their own.
Hopefully, these lessons can help me make the best out of 2011.

The line spacing on this entry is all whacked-out!!! I don't know why, I tried everything I could think of to fix it!!!
You are too funny Steph! I am a little shocked that you don't like Glee though! I am obsessed :)
I love this post. Especially the things I know about. 2010 also changed my perspective on the "incident" as well. I'm glad we are closer because of it.
I know I bitch about your negative attitude, but this is like looking in a mirror. You made me laugh. G'job!!
