Amelie's quick guide to common sense

  1. Do not try to clean an oven when it is on.
  2. Do not try to clean an oven when it has just been on.
  3. Do not rely on your phone as an alarm clock when its battery keeps running out.
  4. Do not attempt to mess with things when you have no idea what you're doing.
  5. Do not be weird with people, they don't like that.
  6. Do not start talking in internet/coding-related jargon to try and make yourself look cool. This will fail miserably.
  7. Do get out more.
  8. Do not drop your laptop and then wonder why the screen isn't working.
  9. Do not go on Myspace expecting a coherent and well-mannered discussion.
  10. Do not spend money you don't have on things you don't need.
  11. Do not leave passwords in publicly distributed scripts.
  12. Do not break your wireless internet adaptor by bending it.
  13. Do not poke Firefox. It will poke you back, harder.
  14. Do not spill water on your computer and then wonder why your keyboard doesn't work.
  15. Do not spend ages playing stupid games on your phone and then wonder why the battery doesn't hold its charge any more.
  16. Do not eat an entire loaf of garlic bread and expect people to stay within a 5 mile radius of you.

Yes, I'm guilty of all of the above. *Shame* Learn from my mistakes :P

And wow, it's November already. I have no idea how that happened either.

  1. Heh. I'm currently wondering how you decided that it was a good idea to clean the oven while it was on, let alone recently turned off.

  3. Urgh, thanks for telling me. I'll try and fix that. I think it's something to do with the fact that I was messing with my WP database the other day...

    As for the oven thing, I tried to clean it when it was on/recently on because it's only when it's on that I can see the dirt in it. The light doesn't come on when it's off, you see... Heh.

  4. I think I fixed the commenting problem. If it happens again or if you or others can't subscribe to comments/don't receive comment notification emails, please let me know!

  5. I adore your post. xD I can relate to some of those. Esp. the oven one! I've tried to change light bulbs directly after they've gone out. They're still quite hot to the touch — I always forget!

    I came here from SNOG! I'm just setting up my weblog. Would you mind if I linked you? I'd like to get some dailies going on in my blogroll. xP I love reading and commenting back and forth. If youd' rather not, that's quite all right!
