When you're still talking about Monday as being the weekend, you can count yourself amongst the very lucky or the very delusional. Unfortunately, I find myself strongly grounded in the later group. The day has been a blur of exams and editing adventures and a thousand twenty minute naps thrown in an attempt to keep myself conscious. But I guess through all of it, I may have learned a few things. Yes, this is when I write another bulleted list and everyone groans because I have sold out yet again. Well, deal with it. And pray to god that someday you will have children so brillant that their minds will function so effeciently that they too will think in bulleted lists.Things I have learned in the past 50 or so hours:
* Having the Good Will Hunting soundtrack in your truck might make you the coolest guy to ever walk the face of the earth.
* Having the Good Will Hunting soundtrack in your truck does not necessarily make you the coolest guy to ever walk the face of the earth.
* If you're really really trying to hide something, never admit to having it in the first place, because from that point on it's just a matter of the other person finding it.
* If you have the urge to camp, just go, and don't worry about stupid shit like where you'll get a tent. Because when you start to think, that means that you will NOT go camping, and that's just sad.
* Never tell so much of the truth that you keep yourself from having quality lie material in the future.
* Don't be the first one to call the day after, because someone you aren't expecting will answer the phone every damn time.
* Reserve the right to spend an entire day on the couch and still manage to call yourself productive with a straight face.
* Screw notecards. Who in the hell invented them in the first place?
* Don't plan two major brain-occupying events for the same weekend. You'll end up out on the porch with a friend and an increasingly empty pack of cigarettes and a sob story that nobody really wanted to hear in the first place.
