In other words, every quality that women hate in a man, they love in a cat. The following (26-50) are directly from the desk of my good friend, Jed from England. 26.

I tend to BOLD or change the color to the ones that I feel directly apply to myself. Enjoy !

[The dark story]

i agree with "23" one...it has often happened with me and it's truly quite irksome.

[dw817]

Glad to know I'm not the only one, Atiba ! I remember chasing after a public bus for a few blocks onetime. He was stopped at a red light, he saw me coming and floored it, straight through the red light with cars honking from both directions.

I'm sorry, that wasn't accidental, he was avoiding picking me up cause he saw me coming from the distance. Today I don't give them that pleasure. I bide my time and wait for the next one. :)

[The dark story]

oh…do you really do that(wait for the next one)?…what if you're runnging out of time?

[dw817]

I always give myself an extra hour to arrive at my destination. :) If I arrive early, I have my PSP or a book to keep me company.

[The dark story]

Oh…then it makes things different

[dw817]

Yeaffers, never be late, always arrive early, then you can blame THEM for being late. :7

That's awitty notion…but not applicable for lazy beings

Hmm, gotta stop typing that colon key, it messes up the read more. Anyways, well, what is it they say ? "Early To Bed And Early To Rise Makes A Man Healthy, Wealthy, and -uhhm- very sleepy, I would think." =)

[The dark story]

I believe in that quote but I can't apply that in reality. I can't satisfy thefirst condition though I am able to fulfill the latter.

[The dark story]

N sleepy?? lol. My mom will be glad if I would. I have a habit of studying late at night.

[dw817]

*Grin* It actually says something else, but that's fine, I'm usually sleepy when I follow that policy, never got the wealthy part down yet. Wise ? Eh - matter of opinion.

[The dark story]

lol. they asy "wealth doesn't come that easy, you have to toil for it."...so i think that wealthy part is not 99% true. but IMHO, you're wise of course.

[dw817]

Wiseass I have down I think a little too well. I need to work on just the WISE part. ;)
