Life Lesson #4

There are plenty of perks to having an imaginary boyfriend. He will never not call/call too often/irritate/annoy/smother/embarass/play hard to get/play too easy to get. He will always know what you mean/want/don't want and will take the blame when you want to stay in on a Friday night without looking like a loser.

Life Lesson #54

Good grammar counts, and is especially helpful when weeding out potential sources of entertainment (aka - boys). Good grammar indicates an attention to detail that will serve you well. Of course, never point out someone's bad grammar, unless they are as grammar-centric as you. Then its okay to mock them ruthlessly, but be aware that your turn will come. This also helps build a bond with other grammar nazis, as you ridicule the grammar careless.

Life Lesson #98
