Ruminations

Apparently there’s a long e-mail going around with some insightful ruminations from the website Ruminations (I can only assume that this is a knockoff of my first blog, Irruminations). Some of these are really great, so I thought I’d share my favorites with you. The full list is here.

• I wish Google Maps had an “Avoid Ghetto” routing option.
• Is it just me, or are 80% of the people in the “people you may know” 
  feature on Facebook people that I do know, but I deliberately choose 
  not to be friends with?
• I think everyone has a movie that they love so much, it actually 
  becomes stressful to watch it with other people. I’ll end up wasting 
  90 minutes shiftily glancing around to confirm that everyone’s 
  laughing at the right parts, then making sure I laugh just a little 
  bit harder (and a millisecond earlier) to prove that I’m still the 
  only one who really, really gets it.
• I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in each hand than 
  take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.
• Answering the same letter three times or more in a row on a Scantron 
  test is absolutely petrifying.
• What would happen if I hired two private investigators to follow each other?
• Whenever I’m Facebook stalking someone and I find out that their 
  profile is public I feel like a kid on Christmas morning who just got 
  the Red Ryder BB gun that I always wanted. 546 pictures? Don’t mind if 
  I do!
• I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? 
  Dammit!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and 
  goes to voicemail. What’d you do after I didn’t answer? Drop the phone 
  and run away?

The list goes on…there are so many great observations, many of them laugh out loud. Check it out.
