Guy with Mets Hat in Bar: That dress looks good on you, bet I know where it would look better!
Plum: Let me guess, on your floor.
Guy with Mets Hat in Bar: Nah. Back on you when you leave my apartment after someone satisfying sex.
When you’ve lost or misplaced something why do people always ask “where did you last leave it/have it/use it/put it?”
FYI If I knew where I put it, it wouldn’t be lost. But thanks TIPS!
We live in a world where text messages, IMs, emails, RSS feeds, and tweets dominate how we communicate or receive news. (And I guess you can through the phone into this equation as well)
My mother once called me 19 times within a 3-hour period (no message) when I finally picked up one of her calls after I had gotten out of a meeting:
“What! What do you want?”
“Oh..hi..haven’t heard your voice in a few days..how are things?”
“Did someone die?”
“No, why?”
“Cause unless someone dies don’t call me 20plus times in a day.”
“Oh, well if someone died I’d just send you an email.”
Great thanks mom. I can just see it now: “so and so died today. Very sad. It’s really sunny here today but looks like you are getting rain in NY. Pack an umbrella. Love you” (no joke that what it would be!)
So maybe I can rationalize a death email, maybe. Maybe even via facebook, or an IM. People are always complaining about being broken up via facebook. Well actually I’ve only ever heard of girls complaining about this, which sorta equals you’re a big crazy and he doesn’t want to even talk to you.
But in a world full of all these impersonal forms of communications for important messages, where do we draw the line.
It’s become the norm like a said to breakup online, via email, or text. People have proposed via twitter, and updated facebook status from a funereal.
What should be personal, and what shouldn’t?
I think everything goes. If you want to say your vows on twitter, or tell the world on facebook that you cheated on you boyfriend, go for it. Be my guest.
But then there is one thing I think has to be a personal moment, one thing that completely changes when it’s done in person.
The simple apology.
Having someone apologize for bad behavior via IM or text, or even facebook is not and can never be the same as a simple to your face apology.
In fact, can you really be forgiven if you don’t ask for it in person?
I know I’ve twittered about this many many times.
But putting makeup on in public makes me physically ill to watch. It’s gross. Straight up.
If you don’t feel comfortable being out without makeup on, then how come you feel ok withOUT wearing it all the way to the subway, or bus stop, or restaurant?
I don’t want to see your eyes flutter as you gob on mascara and I really don’t want to see your nasty ass gross compact sponge.
This one is the worse: the compact sponge! It’s full of nasty ass germs and grossly discoloured. Maybe I’m judging cause I don’t wear foundation, but I’m sorry this is gross. And when you do it in a restaurant or next to your friends or date on the train. I want to throw up all over your half made up face!
FYI: Make up is about the illusion. Make it one. Do it in private.
