i love my black hair

but i kind of love Mary Kates bleach blonde locks. Im going to have to think this one through

Its totally not okay to

1. Give your girlfriend/ boyfriend/ significant others used underwear to one of your homies. No matter how pathetic and lame he/she is! Even if you feel ultra bad you exposed there sock and underwear fetish to your stupid friends while you were wasted. God what the fucks wrong with you? Do i even have to say this out loud?

2. Expose your weirdo fetishes to your friends while you are drunk. I get it. You probably wanted to let your deep dark secret out. You thought a weight would lift off your shoulders, and maybe it did, but that still doesn't mean that anyone wanted to know. OR that you wont be made fun of for the rest of your life!!! hey look there! Its that guy who stole my underwear and licked my socks.

3. Just because you did something dumb while you were drinking doesn't make it okay, so please stop using "i didn't mean to. I was drunk" as an excuse. Shame on you!!! You know you would have done it sober too.

4. If you get the chills every time you see someone DON'T let them into your house. It doesn't matter if your friends like this person. AND it especially doesn't matter if your friends are a bunch of retards. Don't let those Dummies have a say in what goes on in your house!

5. Go out to dinner and argue over how expensive something is while the waitress is trying to take your order. Do you want to get spit in your food. OH and that is NOT classy.

6. Its better to go to a nice restaurant once in a while then go to shitty restaurants every day. Not only will you get fat quickly but you will also seem quite trashy.

7. Act like girls/boys don't like you because of the way you look. Maybe if you had more self respect and stopped taking your self so seriously you would get some ass. If you are funny and have a great personality everyone will love you, even if you look like a deranged elf.

8. think that people don't need to have good manners just because its 2010. Having good manners is hot. If you are having some trouble in this department maybe you should get a book about being a lady/gentleman. Hey maybe if you learn something and use it then you will finally find a way to be sexually satisfied.
