7 Things

For all you guys out there wondering why girls are "so complicated"

this is why.

7 Things by Miley Cyrus

I probably shouldn't say this
But at times I get so scared
When I think about the previous
Relationship we shared
It was awesome, but we lost it
It's not possible for me not to care
And now we're standing in the rain
And nothing's ever gonna change until you hear
My dear

The seven things I hate about you
The seven things I hate about you
Oh, you
You're vain
Your games
You're insecure
You love me, you like her
You made me laugh, you made me cry, I don't know which side to buy
Your friends, they're jerks, and when you act like them, just know it hurts
I wanna be
With the one I know
And the seventh thing I hate the most that you do
You make me love you

It's awkward And it's silent
As I wait for you to say
What I need to hear now
Your sincere apology
When you mean it, I'll believe it
If you text it
I'll delete it
Let's be clear
Oh, I'm not coming back
You're taking seven steps here

The seven things I hate about you
You're vain
Your games
You're insecure
You love me, you like her
You made me laugh, you made me cry, I don't know which side to buy
Your friends, they're jerks, and when you act like them, just know it hurts
I wanna be
With the one I know
And the seventh thing I hate the most that you do
You make me love you

Compared to all the great things
That would take too long to write
I probably should mention
The seven that I like

The seven things I like about you
Your hair
Your eyes
Your old Levi's
When we kiss, I'm hypnotized
You made me laugh, you made me cry, but I guess that's both that I'll have to buy
Your hand in mine when we're intertwined, everything's alright
I wanna be with the one I know
And the seventh thing I like the most that you do
You make me love you

Random Short Story

The Job or The Love?

Everyday, Edward Wahdle drives to his little cubicle in his white Ford 500. He has been working at Stuckle Enterprises for 7 years, calling investors to ask them if they would like to sponsor the company. He works hard and is very friendly towards his customers. When he gets bored with his job, he helps other with their jobs when he gets bored of his.

One day, he is walking down the fluorescent light-lit hallway to lunch when he overhears the board of directors chatting in the lunch room.

“How are we going to find a replacement developmental director in time for the new promotion? We have already interviewed all the grant managers.”

“We need someone who has been in the business for a long time. Long enough to know how everything around here works.”

“Let’s hold a public meeting tomorrow at 1pm in room 67 for anyone who would like to apply for this position. It is the our last resort.”

Edward cannot believe what he has just heard. His dream. A chance to change his life and do something instead of talking on the phone everyday. A raise. A new car. A bigger cubicle.

He runs towards his car while passing workers with boxes of files and almost hits them, squeezes right through the door that almost closed. But once he steps outside, a cyclist smash into him and they flip over and slam onto the ground.

Edward wakes up to the pretty face of his co-worker Britney.

“Hey…are you ok? I am so sorry about that,” she says.

Edward gets up on his feet while brushing his coat pretending that it was nothing.

“Didn’t feel a thing” he boasted.

“Really? Well you got knocked out for about two minutes there.”

“Oh…”
He looks up and is attracted right to her eyes where he falls in love right into the pool in her eyes.

“My Edward name is hi” he blurted.

“I’m Britney. You’re pretty funny” she laughed.

“Thank you. Um…thanks for um…helping me up and just wanted to say thanks. Uh I am Edward. I work at Stuckle Enterprises too. And just to say, I tend to babble a lot sometimes. Sometimes, I don’t even notice but yeah. I just say a lot of things. I am not as random as you think I’m. I’m not weird I swear. I just…”

“Haha. Well, is there anything I can do for you? The bruise looks pretty bad.”

“Ahh. That thing? It is no big deal. My head is rock hard.”

“You sure? Well, I would love to make it up to you. Would you like to have lunch with me? Maybe tomorrow? It is my last week at Stuckle and tomorrow is my only free day. So, my office at 1pm? Room 68.”

“Okay” he stutters.

“See you tomorrow.”

A date with Britney. Edward has not gone on a date for four years now. Everything has to be perfect.

He skips back home whistling for today has been his best day. A job opportunity and a date.

Edward halts in his tracks. “Wait.” What is he going to do? They are at the same time.

“Oh! I can just reschedule with Britney. Shoot! I didn’t get her number” he thought.

He has to think of something. What is his decision?

He can’t decide. So he decides to sleep on it.

The next day, his mind is still not made up. The town clock strikes 11am. He has no time. So he throws together an outfit and a portfolio and try to decide when he gets there.

The clock strikes 12.

In the garage his car stalls and he decides to run. The office is only 2.5 miles away. He waddles to Stuckle knocking down everything in his path. At the office, he elevator is not working. So he has to climb 12 stories. He finally gets to row of room 60s.

It is 12:57pm

He stands in front of the doors with his tie askew and his portfolio disheveled while gasping for air.

On the left, room 67: his dream. On the right, room 68: his love.

12:58pm.

He must make his choice now. This decision will change his life forever. He has to use a system that will determine this.

Eeny Meeny Miney Mo….I choose you.

He opens the door and walks in.

Nagging Story

So the assignment was to write a poem which is a list of instructions using the same 3-word phrase for each point. So i used my mom's nagging which eventually evolves into care. And the list has to eventually tell a story about their life by illustrating their daily life and characterizing the speaker and who he or she is speaking to

Motherly Love

You should always floss your teeth everyday. Not just between your teeth. But between the gums. You should always come back with an A. I don’t care if everyone else got a C too. You should always shower before 7pm. If you don’t, you are an eyesore. You should always help your brother with his homework. You should always eat in the kitchen. I don’t want stains and ants on my carpet. You should always write using your 2nd finger. Never use your second and third finger at the same time. It’s unprofessional. You should always drink milk every morning and night. You need to grow. I will not let you drive till you grow another 3 inches. You should always wash your feet before coming into the house after wearing flip flops. You are making black footprints everywhere and I am not the one who is going to scrub the carpet. You should always keep your backpack on the floor. When you put it on the bed like that, you will sleep on dirt. You should always walk with your toes pointing forwards. You are not a duck. You should always cross your legs while sitting. You are not a boy. You should stay single till you go to college. And then, it can only be a Chinese man. UGH! OK MOTHER! You should always save your money. Don’t spend it on things you don’t need when shopping. You should always buy comfortable shoes. I don’t care if it has a bow or if it’s shiny. You should always sleep before 10pm. You are a growing girl. You need 10 hours. You should always get to school on time. It is not my fault that your alarm clock didn’t ring this morning. It’s your responsibility. You should always agree with your parents. It is respect.. You should always keep your room clean and organized. You should always call me before going out with your friends. You should always stand outside of your friend’s house, mall, movie theater, etcetera when I come to pick you up so I do not spend 20 minutes looking and waiting for you. You should always do something with your life instead of being a couch potato. You should always help me instead of chatting with your friends. You should always put a pillow between you and your laptop. I don’t want mutated grandchildren. You should always play with your little brother. You should always keep track of the time. You should always plan ahead. Try a using schedule. You should always wash off your makeup before showering. It will smudge and you will look like a raccoon. You should always cook the meat before the vegetables. You should always transfer the leftovers into a smaller container and put saran wrap over it before putting it into the fridge. You should always cover your food with a paper towel before microwaving it. Don’t stand in front of the microwave. Radiation. You should always be polite towards everyone. You should always greet everyone by their name when going to a party. You should always bow when receiving a red envelope. Yes mommy. You should always listen to your music softly. You will get deaf from loud music blaring into your ears through those headphones. You will regret it when you get older. You should always walk upright. You will have back problems when you get older. You should always drink green tea for it has more antioxidants than blueberries, more calcium than milk, cancer prevention, etc. I don’t want you to get health problems like me. You should always wash your face everyday using this special face wash. Then wipe off the soap and dead skin that clogs your pores with these cotton cloths. Rinse. Then apply this expensive lotion. I don’t want you to mess up your pretty face. Thank you mommy.

10 Aspects I Love and Hate in a Guy

10 Things I Love
1) Interesting. He has more to say that “it was fine” or “yeah”
2) Liveliness. He does more than just stands around
3) Dancer/ singer. This shows that he is confident and not afraid to express himself and does not care about what others think about him
4) Dedication…to, for example, a sport.
5) Respect…for me and the things and people that I love.
6) Knows me well. The fact that he knows stuff about me just means that he takes interest in me and cares for me
7) Listener. Every girl vents. It is just how we let out stress. And if he does not care about what I say…no matter how stupid…it just shows that he doesn’t care
for me. Even if this is stress relief for me.
8) Funny. If he has no sense of humor, that really sucks
9) Supportive. Even if he this theater is boring, just don’t show it. Because I love it. And if he does not care, then it just shows that he does not care about me.
10) Truthful. Even if the truth hurts, I will rather have a mean truthful boyfriend then one who lies to me just to make me “happy”

10 Things I Hate
1) Boring. In general. Like awkward silences since he never elaborates on his “yeah” answer
2) Shy. This practically shows that he is not strong
3) Constantly criticizes others. That is just plain no.
4) Fails classes. This just shows that he does not care about school (priorities)
5) Loud in inappropriate times.
6) Never tries to talk, see, hangs out with me during our free times.
7) Does not like hugs. I’m a person who LOVES hugs. So if he doesn’t that kind of sucks.
8) Slow and oblivious. Oh my god, the number one thing on my pet peeves list
9) No manners. Like not being friendly to my friends and family.
10) “Whatever” and “I don’t care”. My most hated phrases.
