putting this here for myself.

1) Pay attention to the way a man loves his mother. That is the way he will love you.

2) You can do anything a man can do, including organic chemistry, unclogging toilets and assembling IKEA furniture.

3) Older women wear makeup so THEY can look like YOU. Less is more. A lot less is a lot more.

4) People will judge you by the way you look. It isn’t fair, but it’s the way the world works. Keep that in mind as you pick your outfit in the morning.

5) Never let anyone do your thinking for you. There are far too many people with far too much invested in you believing what they believe.

6) Liberal arts grow your mind. Science and business keep you fed. You will need both.

7) Nothing is more attractive than intelligence.

8) Learn to drive a stick-shift.

9) Get comfortable with power tools.

10) You don’t have to enjoy them, but have a working knowledge of the rules for football and baseball.

11) Know the difference between Star Wars and Star Trek, and they key players in both.

12) You don’t have to *DO* anything for someone to love you. The right person will cross a desert just for the chance to sit next to you at lunch.

13) Peer pressure is all about insecurity. Be confident in who you are and you’ll never have to “fit in”. People will come to you.

14) The fastest way to strain a relationship with a man is to bring up old drama. We can’t remember to hang up the bath towel. What makes you think we remember that stupid thing we did 6 months ago?

15) If a man genuinely loves you, he will let you set the boundaries. Don’t let anyone take something from you they can’t give back. You set the tone for the sexual relationship.

16) Feminie hygiene products — Where our daughters are concerned, we would be very happy sticking our fingers in our ears and saying “lalalalalalalala”. Please respect our need to pretend they, and the reason for them, do not exist. The same goes for lacy underthings.

17) You were flawless the day you were born. If you must go get that first tattoo, please consider inviting your daddy to come and get his first tattoo with you.

18) You are perfect the way you roll out of bed. Let’s be clear: all that crap you do to “get out the door” is for everyone else’s benefit.

19) Though he may be smiling on the outside, when you leave for college your father is falling apart on the inside. Don’t forget to call him that first night to tell him you love him.

20) Compare every single boy you ever meet to your daddy. Nobody will love you like he does.

plumbing issues resolved.. i think?

lunch: shit salad at la den de tigre or UC or whatever
dinner: half chicken at boneheads where the girl who likes me was repeatedly shot down with awkward dialogue and bad body language

also, fuck. this retarded music teacher is really pissing me off.

i swear to god these schools really know how to run the long con. first off, this letter announcing the "fall musical" wherein a mandatory $5 "tshirt fee" has been levied.

then, because i wasn't pissed off enough, another slip sent home requiring my signature acknowledging that my child will attend both musicals at school and in the evening.

THEN, BECAUSE I WASN'T PISSED OFF ENOUGH, another slip from the teachers requiring another $5 to get the aforementioned music teacher.. a motherfucking gift. because they don't grasp the definition of the word "gift".

this woman has never, not once, taught my child anything resembling music theory, history, or anything applicable to music education. she is the music teacher equivalent of a whoopee cushion. fart.
