Rules of Life

So, to start out my married life, I will give those women out there the rules of life that they should live by. These rules should be in place regardless of marital status, though most of them apply more directly to those who are single.

1- Never date a project.
2- No nuddie shots (they will only haunt you later).
3- Never get involved with a married man.
4- Never be the rebound girl.
5- No hunting (of men). *
6- People are more important than things.
7- Individuals should get attention over groups.
8- Never kiss someone because you feel obligated.
9- No love triangles.
10- You can't make someone fall in love with you (and visa versa, upside down, inside out, backwards).
11- Don't divulge your personal life to strangers (otherwise known as: don't cast your pearls before swine, especially on a first date).
12- Never eat anything in a bathroom.*

5* There are many addendums and exceptions to this rule. And it would be difficult and tedious for me to list them all here. The Rule of Thumb with this rule: we all know girls who are hunters, and no other girl likes them. So take a step back from your situation and ask yourself if you are being annoying, or get a good friend to tell you. If you have questions about your own particular case, feel free to comment and we can start a email dialogue. I always like to hear personal stories. (Wow! I kind of feel like a radio talk show)

12* I've considered adding something to this rule, or making it a rule unto itself: never talk in a bathroom, especially on your cell phone. Gross! We'd all be better off if you don't. Personal conversations can be awkward too, that is, if you're in the bathroom to take care of business. I have to clarify because this is the girl's rules of life, and bathrooms are great places to carry on conversations without worrying about men overhearing.

So, I take suggests to the Rules, most people have them. But I will give out a warning. The Rules of Life are meant to apply generally. If I had known them in high school, my life would be better today. And they're my list, so I may or may not use any suggestions. I'll still enjoy any that I get, though. This list is fluid, however, so there could be additions at any time. I'll post them separately, so you won't have to keep reviewing old stuff. I'm nice like that.
