Physical Pain Beats Emotional Torture

Spitting On Cliches

I am quickly coming to the conclusion that all cliches are completely and utterly crap. I definately hate all of the ones i've heard recently. I seem to receive the exact opposite of all of the good things that they promise me will happen so long as i follow their advice.

Apparently, the brave may not live long, but the catious don't live at all. Well, this is complete and utter bullshit. I've recently taken a break from being cautious and walked on the wild side. I can tell you, i've come much closer to dying in doing this than i ever did being sensible and cautious. And i avoided sooo much more unnecessary embarassment. So, whether the brave or the cautious live longer, the cautious definately stay out of trouble, are happier, generally smarter and less embaressed. BE CAUTIOUS! Next time somebody tells you to bite the bullet, tell them to take a long walk of a short pier. I bit a bullet tonight and DAMN it hurt. Not for the reasons i expected, but for a whole lot of others, that even my incredibly over-active imagination failed to think of. Joy. If you listen to your grandparents, there is always a silver lining - rubbish. Where is the silver lining in embarassing yourself for no good cause, seeing as you only did the stupid thing for a singular reason - which u didn't acheive. Just so you know, silence being golden? No. It's not. It's awkward and evil. And quiet. You can think too much. Never good. Is the biggest risk in life not taking one? As if! Safety is paramount. Go comfort zones! Yes, you will regret ever stepping out of them, faaaaaar more than you will ever regret staying cozy and warm in your own little world.

Having said that, there are a few chiches that do work... however, they're not the cheery, all-will-be-well ones. Like, apparently we all want what we can't have. I totally agree with this one. Right now, what i want doesn't want me and instead of my forgetting it, i just keep on wanting it. Yes, ridiculous i know. But the second that something similar will have me, i do a GREAT impersonation of a freaked out hare and run like mad in the other direction. Suave. As for being caught between a rock and a hard place, i'm there. Substitute 'rock' for 'the edge of my sanity' and 'hard place' for 'the edge of insanity' and you'll have a better picture of where i am now. Are you picturing? Not a happy place. *grumpy face*

Ok, i'm going to stop going on about the weird anti-cliche thing i've been on this arvo. But i can tell you that i'm about to go off and write another post on cliches :P cos i found some interesting ones.

Stay Alive

I agree that silence can be scary. Cos silence is like a huge blanket that can cover a conversation, and then you're like, wow, this is silent, but you can like see the other person and so you're not exactly covered by a real blanket, so then the silence grows and you like freak out. And then you keep looking at the other person in the conversation, and you're like "woo" this is arkward, cos its totally silent. Cos silence is like a scary see through invisible blanket in a conversation where you feel so weird on your insides. LUV YA xoxoxox

Lol, ok, well, i guess silence could be a big invisible blanket that makes you feel weird on the inside... but i was going more for the fact that it allows you so stand there and wonder what the other person is thinking... and whether they're thinking something bad about you! :P Silly, i know.
