mar 22nd,

Seems to have been over a month since my last post (wow, & sorry) ! This post, like the others, will be of fillers, and more fillers. Let's see, what have I been up to... It has definitely been a hectic month if I have got to say for myself. Paper writing, as you (all) know has been a standardized 'to do' item in my posts, but this month was crayyy (yes, I just used that word), because of visitors. As much as I love having people over at my place, the amount of visitors I had over was quite overwhelming. I'm actually surprised that I managed to not attempt to strangle any one *pats myself on the back* Anywho... having people over simply just meant eating out, I mean, its not a bad thing, but eating out every single meal for the whole week, is enough (or at least for the next few months). Aside from that, let's talk manners. Who stays at someone's house literally "making themselves feel at home" ?! Perhaps that is really an overstatement. When people tell you that, you gotta know its a friendly thing to say. What you DONT do is casually toss your belongings around the whole house, make people wash, and even lightly rinse every single dish you've used, and make others feel obliged to pay for your every meal. Of course, the cherry on top of that would have to be the inexistent "thank you" for everything others have done for you. So here is my 'note to self' based on this experience, and others from the past: people will never thank you for your deeds (it's nothing karma related, but an act of manners) so casually be the good man / woman you are, but don't be that pushover others want you to be, BE YOURSELF.
