MY OWN LIST

ive decided that since i can b quirky at times that i should make known my "rules" for anybody that knows me and yet doesnt get my quirkiness...........in no particular order......

1. respect my stuff....i havent busted my ass to have what i do for nothing.
2. dont "flop" on my furniture
3. dont eat sloppy food on my furniture
4. unless i ask u to move something, dont touch my knicknacks, photo frames and other things
5. always knock on my door, also dont knock and open the door at the same time--wait for me
6. if im watchin tv or listenin to music, if i get up for w/e reason it is NOT a sign that u should change the channel or cd track
7. know when uve out stayed ur welcome---if i start cleanin like a mad woman, pickin up snacks and glasses, thats a good sign to get the fuck out
8. if we have plans, dont b late, if ur goin to b late....call
9. dont try to tell me what to do if ur in my house
10. b comfortable around me but not too comfortable
11. if we've been using my car, my food or w/e at least offer some cash so that i can replenish what was used
12. no shoes on the furniture
13. do NOT go into my bedroom for ANY reason....unless i say its ok
14. dont assume that just cause ur my friend or that u know me that anything goes around me
15. dont embarass me or my name
16. b aware of the rules, and that they r in affect at all times no matter who, what, where, when or why
17. if i introduce u to "my ppl" behave as if ur in church....just cause i may b the connection between y'all does NOT mean that they will take to u as i have
18. act like a grown up, which is different than acting old
19. dont b an attention whore, i cant stand that and i wont succumb to ur needs---at most ill ignore u and roll my eyes as much as possible
20. dont feel the need to always b talking....silence is bliss and it also gives other ppl the chance to speak
...................there r more that i can list but ill let these sink in first ;)

side note----my weekend turned out to b excellent! we went to cbus and tried to get into the Shadowbox Cabaret....but they were sold out. so we went to see Hitch, good flick, i laughed alot. the ride home was quiet and even when we got inside my house it was quiet...til mandy left and i cracked open a book that tim bought me......we laughed for another good 2hrs!! its called "how to remodel a man" its by an internet humorist Bruce Cameron. anyhoo all is good now and im not in my "funk" anymore.
