Rules of 'Ships...

"Dancing at discos, eating cheese on toast; yeah, you make me merry, make me very very happy. But you obviously didn't want to stick around. So, I learned from you." -"Merry Happy" by Kate Nash (my obsession-o'-the-moment)

I strive to feel this way about all realtionships, both friendly and romantic, that come to a close. Reguardless of whatever drama ensued due to/because of the break-up, I want only to learn, so I never have to expierence it again. No unkind words or ridiculous pride...just peace of mind and intelligence.

In kindred spirit, I've learned,

• Don't kiss two different boys in a single day. They'll both find out and be equally as pissed.
  
• Be wary of "love." It is a cliche at this point.
  
• When you are the happiest, be cautious. The bottom will soon fall out of your joy.
  
• Choose the person who would never make you choose.
  
• Good girlfriends are twice as rare as good boyfriends.
  
• Never underestimate the power of a shared memory.
  
• Your stomach knows the truth, even when your heart is uncertain.
  
• Alcohol is always a good excuse for being bold but never for being trashy or hurtful.
