Things I’ve learned this week

Saturday, March 25th, 2006
  • When you realize that you really are in over your head, keep only the things that are crucial.
  • Chefs are artists and consider themselves as such. For as much as I like food, I should have realized that long ago.
  • Don’t put too many hopes into the asides that people make. And, on that note, don’t assume anything. Ever.
  • I either need to learn to enjoy the bar atmosphere, or start getting more sleep. Only one of these gives me a better chance of becoming more outgoing.
  • Ice can be a very, very bad thing. Especially when you have a baby in your arms, and it’s black and near-invisible. (I didn’t fall — but had I, it would have been very not pleasant.)
  • The jury is still out on whether it’s safe for me to have crushes on everyone.
  • I want someone to have a crush on me for a change. (Amen, Big Poppa E!)
  • The Internet never ceases to amaze me.
  • The world would be an exponentially better place if more people figured out a way to barter services with one another. Money means that we can live our lives being anti-social. Bartering brings us together and forces us to forge relationships with people we might not otherwise have met.
  • Chinese is a really damn fun language. Or maybe I just like the process of learning and the socializing part of it. Or all of the above.
  • Trust your instincts. Regardless of what the “safety-net” in your mind says.
