So I’ve never been the New Year’s resolution making kind of person but apparently my mom really really really is, because not only did she think of ten things that I<\/strong> should be doing in 2006 but she then typed them up and emailed the list to me<\/strong>. This is my Little Yellow Different<\/a> moment of the year so far, except with ellipses instead of aaiiyah<\/em>s. Here’s the list:<\/p>\n

\n
    \n
  • be more practical in looking for a job…<\/li>\n
  • be down to earth…<\/li>\n
  • try an eight to five job first, so you have bread on the table…<\/li>\n
  • clean your room… men appreciate orderliness which is next to godliness1<\/sup>… <\/li>\n
  • try looking for a job in another place, outside new york…<\/li>\n
  • consider [ex-boyfriend’s name redacted] again…2<\/sup><\/li>\n
  • consider a teaching job… it will be good for you, especially in a university town , not nyc… you can bet, you will be married in a year’s time3<\/sup>…<\/li>\n
  • consider interior design4<\/sup>, now that your landlady is an architect…<\/li>\n
  • send me email regularly…<\/li>\n
  • wake up early…the early bird gets the worm…<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    Why she couldn’t have just said, “Look, get a job, get a man and email me once in a while” I will never understand.
    \nI did send her an email yesterday though\u2026
    \n1<\/sup> She knows I’m an atheist, so WTF.
    2<\/sup> Considered: I’d be so unhappy I’d slit my wrists. Pass!
    3<\/sup> Why the hurry?
    4<\/sup> Going back to school to do something I have no interest in based on my roommate’s occupation? This makes no sense.<\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
