Copying [url=http://www.tblog.com/template...]Gabe's blog[/url] from when he was nearing his 21st birthday, I'd like to submit to you my 21 lessons.
1. There is no such thing as common sense. 2. The most important thing in life is that you live it for yourself, according to your standards and no one else's. 3. Life is not a game- there are no winners or losers- it is only what you make of it. 4. Stereotypes and first impressions are generally accurate, but you should always look for the exception to the rule. 5. All guys are assholes and all girls bitches. The only exception to this rule is that some guys are bitches and some girls are assholes. 6. It is much easier to give advice than it is to follow it. 7. It is pointless to dwell on the things in life that are beyond our control. Pointless and dangerous. 8. Though we all want to be rescued from time to time, no one can save you- you have to rescue yourself. 9. You can't force someone to understand something; they have to be willing. 10. I, apparently, cannot catch a football (my broken finger still hasn't fully healed), but I can throw a damn nice spiral. :wink: 11. I am quite possibly the only person in the world who doesn't like chicken. 12. In college, "watch a movie" really means "have sex." 13. As an American visiting Quebec, it is impossible to speak French- they won't let you. 14. The most nauseating texture to feel is the lung of a long-time smoker (dead, of course). 15. Good things do not necessarily come to those who wait. 16. Breyer's mint chocolate chip ice cream is orgasmic. 17. When life hands you lemons, make hard lemonade. 18. Never drink warm, cheap vodka. Ever. 19. Hooter's actually does have really good food. 20. When playing Asshole, it is never a good idea to voluntarily be the asshole. 21. Somehow, waking up in another person's bed is more comforting than waking up in your own and not remembering how you got there.

Thanks... actually, the first thing I learned in college was that an invitation to watch a movie doesn't actually mean that. :)
