…that I’ve been wasting too much of my life.
…I have the strong urge to see my boyfriend, take him up in my arms, and tell him that I do love him, even though at times it would seem otherwise.
…that this was the room that my parents were working on building, with my mom sweeping up the wood shavings, when she felt funny and they went to the hospital and it was discovered that she was pregnant with me. Her first child.
…I’m 18 and I don’t have a drivers license and I don’t know whether to feel bothered or apathetic by it. I really have no desire to drive, but in this part of Pennsylvania it’s necessary to know how to drive a car. Maybe that’s what bothers me.
…I’m almost two decades old.
…one time when I watched Britney Spears being interviewed on television before she was wildly famous, I was shocked to observe that she acted a lot like me. And she wore braces.
…Braces would hurt. I’ll stick with my crooked fangs.

One day, I will no longer exist.

For the vast majority of the history of the universe, I have not existed.

There is no way of proving that the whole universe is not just in my imagination.

If you trust statistics, a third of the people I know will get cancer.

There could be a girl out there who I have never seen before who will become the mother of my children.

I think too much.

As I read this thread I thought of loads of replies and now I’ve forgotten them.

I should be revising for an exam tomorrow but instead I’m wasting my time here.

Maybe I should be doing my German assignment

Isn’t Napster like the best invention since the internet?

I bet my Dad comes in and asks to use the Internet to look at the Stock Market any minute.

  • someone once said if you play a song in your mind, you can’t turn the volume up or down. But I find I can.

  • most of the things I know, I have no idea how I know them

  • there must be some albums I’ve bought about five times, what with different formats and so on, and now I haven’t a single copy of them

  • Pedigree Petfoods turn out 1 million tins of pet food per day. What goes in one end…

  • relationships that were on offer, and I declined. I’ll never, ever know how they would have worked out.

  • there’s a village called Brierley Snitterfield. The name makes me laugh and I don’t know why.

  • I know shedloads of people, but I’ll never know what they think of me. Not really. And that’s probably a good thing.

  • everything I can see around me, someone, somewhere had to design it, work out how to manufacture it, make it, distribute it and sell it. Just the junk on my desk could represent the accumulated effort of 1000 people.

  • experts thought the Edsel would be popular, and Post-It notes wouldn’t. Most important decisions in life… we leave to experts to sort out.

  • there must be people slowly dying who have regrets about all the great things they never got around to doing. They wish they had their health and strength back, so they could go do them. I have my health and strength. I’m not doing any of them.

  • the man who goes to put up the name sign for a new street. How does he find the street?

  • the only things worth having are youth and experience; the tragedy is that the more we have of one, the less we have of the other.

  • a successful actor is paid millions more than a successful nurse or fireman. Portraying characters or saving lives… who decides the value?
