Rule Number Two.

2. Some people's stupidity must be excused.


Last night, I was in a situation in which I may have been confronted by my current worst enemy/nightmare. I was freaking out, because, the reason this person has become such an enemy to me is a reason that is horrible, creepy, and downright scary. When I caught wind of the fact that he would be coming over, I was overcome with emotion - Rage, Fear, Sadness, Regret, etc. These emotions compelled me to punch a wall, and hold my head, thrash about, jump up and down, basically, I threw a fit without all of the screaming and crying you'd see accompany the tantrum of a child. I was then told by the person who invited my enemy that I was being "over-dramatic" and that "it's not that bad". This person obviously does not understand the depth at which my enemy affected me. We were at odds as I went upstairs to barricade and prepare for a potential Armageddon.
     When I got upstairs, I was having difficulty breathing, and I wanted to scream. My boyfriend went downstairs to ask something of his brother (my enemy's friend) and came up telling me that his brother said I was a "guest in their house, and I can't get in the way of his fun". Granted, my boyfriend was out of line bringing me into conversation down there, because what he set out to ask his brother had nothing to do with me.
     Basically, after some deep thought, considering what had happened between me and enemy, and  considering the sympathy level of my boyfriend's brother, I realized that he is, bluntly stated, a moron. He could not comprehend the severity of my feelings towards my enemy, nor could he comprehend the fact that his friend (my enemy) is an unstable alcoholic with a previous strange infatuation with me. (he stalked me, and I considered calling the police, and I do not know him very well, I did not know what he would be capable of.

-You will also encounter idiots in your life, and they may say and do horrendous things, and you may want them to see the error in their ways, but, they will not, for they cannot, because they. are. morons. Nothing will change that. You simply must understand this, excuse their idiocy, and move on.

Rule Number One.

1.Don't forget to bring a sammich.


This is the rule that I should have remembered today. I set out to conquer my first day of school today, and I was ill-prepared when it came time for lunch. I got out of class early, and it was JUST early enough so that I might have been able to get a ride home in order to stuff my face and restore glycemic order to my bloodstream.  However, to my dismay, I wasn't able to contact anyone in time for going home, and so there I sat, agitated, slightly shaky, and wishing that I remembered to bring my sammich.

- This rule can apply to anyone, anywhere. You never know when you may be stuck somewhere, hungry, wishing that you would have packed your own two slices of bread encompassing satiation salvation. Starting today, I'm going to carry a sammich with me every time I am unsure of the availability of food. You should, too.
