Streetsmart for the FUCKING WIN.
You ask me why? Because what is the use of knowing the circumference of the Earth? or the depth of the Ocean? or 283721987289372 x 28129320 divided by the square of 867126364654? Really, what? I guess that depends on the course you are taking or the occupation you want to have later in the future. But , whatever I become later on, I want to learn from experience. NOT FROM TEXT BOOKS.
I want to become a successful hotel or restaurant manager. I'd rather meet lots and lots of people, communicate, and interact than understanding stereotypes from textbooks and author's interpretations. I think it's silly to read a book over and over again to understand people, when in reality, you just need to step forward and ask them their name or what they are doing.
It's really frustrating to those in school who are booksmart and they cry over their grades. Because you know, its seems like they want to be EVEN MORE BOOKSMART so they can get 100/100. I'd rather get a 60/ 100 without studying more than a perfect mark with 50 hours of studying on the subject.
Okay, maybe reading books is fine. But if thats all you do - you sit down and ignore the world , stay in your room and read and read and read- what are you going to learn from that book? It's really useless to memorize something if you cant understand it enough to apply it in today's society.
What do you think? :3

FUCK.
I just finished baking my first ever lemon tart.
Where is the tart, you say?
Well there isn't a tart, because I fucking dropped it. Yes, I. fucking. dropped. it. So there you go, the 3 hours of my life I will never get back. I was going to move it into a container and put it in the fridge, but apparently God and gravity have another plan for it, which is to slip from my hand and serenely fall to the floor. And I screamed, not because of the fall, but because the hot filling dropped onto my feet and now my feet are red.
For what it's worth, I tried some of it (the one that didn't touch the floor of course), and it tasted awesome. And no, I will NOT grieve over this stupid shit because in matter of hours I will make another one. Fuckyeah.
Oh look, it's almost 4 in the morning. And I'm covered with lemon filling. Isn't it just great?
P. S. : when life gives you lemon, make a lemon tart and do NOT drop it.

i'm not sure if this makes me a perfectionist, but...
okay, lemme just say it.
i hate it so much, and i mean SO MUCH, when people put a quote on their tweets/pm(s)/statuses without inserting the quotation mark. i mean, dude, that's intellectual property theft! when you wanna re-say something that isn't your original saying, PUT A QUOTATION MARK! it's not that hard, really!
so, instead of typing
imagination is more important than knowledge
spend two additional seconds to press shift + ' on your computer (windows here), and type
"imagination is more important than knowledge"
IT'S NOT ROCKET SCIENCE REALLY!
before you judge me for being a grammar freak/nazi, lemme clarify my reasons. typing the quotation mark shows that "hey i didn't create it, i copied it" so when someone else wants to copy that quote from us, they know not to source us. second is, really, it just looks... right.
quoting correctly ain't rocket science. try it.

When I was a kid
I was told by my mom how I liked to bite and pinch people's backs and shoulders when I was a baby. Even though this is not at all a surprise for some people, I found it amusing. Hehe.
So she said that I wouldn't stop until people force me to, even though I had no teeth to do an actual and proper bite, and left them with torn shirts and bruises.
And I had this white baby crib with lattices, and I would chew them until the paint came off. Meh, I bet those paint fragments had stunted the development of certain part of my brain. I bet I could've been a great musician, or grown another 10-15 cm if it wasn't for that paint.
Anyway, enough with the denials.
P.S. : guess what my mom craved when she's pregnant with me? Crabs.
Yeah, so much for all the pinching. People should've seen that coming.
