Part 1

Why did I think it would be a good idea to do BEDA? I should have done "Blog Every Other Week in April." BEOWIA. That's quality.

Ugh. Ideas are harder to come up with than energy- and I am bad at conjuring energy on Mondays.

I have nothing to write about after my tirade yesterday, so I think I will regale you all with a tale of something I was thinking about in school today.

Whenever I talk to people, my mind is never entirely on what they were saying. So I thought this while talking to someone, but I don't think it had anything to do with what we were talking about.

So I read a thing a while back that had advice for teenage girls, and it was really patronizing and stupid, but one line stuck in my head, and this line was: "If someone compliments you, compliment her on the same thing, because chances are she feels insecure about it and that's why she noticed it in you!"

This might not be bad advice, as long as the skirt or whatever I was complimenting was actually worthy of praise.

BUT!

I was thinking of this.

What if one girl is wearing a skirt! And one girl is wearing pants!

Their conversation:

"Hey, I like your skirt."

"Thanks, you too!"

No. *facepalm*

That is one situation is when teenage magazine advice doesn't work. Or doesn't factor in every variable.

Actually, this kind of thing happens a lot. Especially to eejits like me.

"Here's your change. Thank you, enjoy your movie."

"Thanks, you too!"

No. *facepalm*

"Hey, happy birthday!"

"Thanks, you too!"

[Except in really rare instances...] No. *facepalm*

I took a whole lot of space to say a whole lot of insignificance.
