use logic behavior
you can’t use logic on human behavior.
believe black-and-white thinking
I think people understand things different when they get older. It’s not a question of getting soft, or seeing things in the gray areas instead of black and white. I really believe I’m just understanding things different. Better.
firsts comfort cliche
First things first has always been my motto, mostly because it makes absolutely no sense - after all, if first things were second or third, they wouldn't be first things, would they? Still, cliches exist to comfort the feeble minded, not to provide any actual meaning.
feelings
I did not like this feeling of having feelings.
loyalty brain together
...being torn apart by far too many loyalties that could not possibly live together in the same brain.
lucky be-good
It really is better to be lucky than to be good.
action ready seems
And as always seems to happen when I have reached the point where I am ready to take decisive action, everything began to happen at once.
nice problem reason
It's always me, isn't it? I'm not really a very nice person, but for some reason it's always me that they come to with their problems.
jobs winning people
Have you noticed how difficult it is just to get along in the world? If you're no good at all in your job, people treat you badly and eventually you will be unemployed. And if you're a little better than competent, everyone expects miracles from you, every single time. Like most of life, it's a no-win situation. And if you dare to mention it, no matter how creatively you phrase your complaints, you are shunned as a whiner.
sleep wonder found
And once again I found myself wondering, as I drifted off to stunned and unbelieving sleep:How do these terrible things always happen to me?
kissing way murder
In its own way the kiss had been an act of murder.
idiot feels knows
Now I know what it is like to feel like a total idiot.
ignorance appreciate fickle
It was clear to me that it wouldn't matter what I did - they would never truly appreciate me or learn what I had to offer. They were far beyond fickle - they were insensible, like kittens,predatory little things, distracted by the first bit of string or shiny bauble that rolled across the floor, and nothing I could ever say or do could possibly make any kind of dent in their willful ignorance.
nice pride clothes
I thought about the nice clothes that I always wore. Well of course I did. I took pride in being the best dressed monster in Dade County.
