Thinking Out Loud

It was a curse. When we complained about our school uniform, my teacher said, "You'd miss not having to think about what to wear everyday soon enough."

I totally need a uniform of my own, you know like Steve Jobs, Carl Lagerfeld or Bart Simpson.

Is it just me? I hate having too many choices. It is why I never go to Baskin Robbins "31".

I had Thai fast food tonight at the mall food court, I order the soup noodles. I have to choose from 4 kinds of meats, I got chicken. Then I have to pick from what veggies to go with it. Everything but cilantro. Then I have to choose what to drink, I picked tea.

"What kind of tea? We have green, jasmine, thai, black..."
"Green, please."
"Do you want the cold one in the bottle? or Hot?"
"Sure whatever."
"Cold?"
"Yes, please."
"Which brand?"
"Nevermind, give me Pepsi."
"Diet or Regular?"
"..." ＿|￣|○

It took longer to order than for me to finish eating! Why don't they just have a default? These days, the act of buying popcorn at the theatre is worthy of a flow chart of its own!

Argh! I miss those days when you can only pick from beef or chicken, tea or water. Yes, airplane food rocks.

What is the most difficult thing about friends getting married?

When couples decide that their romantic partner is going to be their everything, often the other people in their lives who are getting ditched are their single friends. There's a term that experts have given to the shedding of friends as a coupled relationship becomes more serious - dyadic withdrawal. The couple become more focused on each other, and less likely to maintain separate friends.

The most difficult thing is not the withdrawl, but rather the social acceptance (or even embrace) of such behavior. Single people are expected to go away without a fight.
