I finally got connected at my new house. I hope everyone is having a great new year so far. This year has made me realize the things I've learned as I've matured (no age cracks, any of you!) and I've decided to share these pearls of wisdom with you.

1.I've learned that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is stalk them and hope they panic and give in.

2.I've learned that no matter how much I care, some people are just assholes.

3.I've learned that you can get by on charm for about fifteen minutes. After that, you'd better have a big weenie or huge boobs

4.I've learned that you shouldn't compare yourself to others - they are more screwed up than you think

5.I've learned that you can keep puking long after you think you're finished.

6.I've learned that we are responsible for what we do, unless we are celebrities

7.I've learned that regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, the passion fades, and there had better be a lot of money to take its place.

8.I've learned that no matter how you try to protect your children, they will eventually get arrested and end up in the local paper.

9.I've learned that the people you care most about in life are taken from you too soon and all the less important ones just never go away.

10.I've learned to say "Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke" in 6 languages.

oh yeah, and I've learned that being the only woman in an office of really strange guys will lead to a great book one of these days. :-)

Love ya
