Indirect Communication

I would have to say that the worst way of getting your point across is by trying to do so through indirect communication.  If you have something to say why not just say it how it is?  There are few cases where I'd say this varies:


  1. Tweets
    1. Stop tweeting at the world when you in fact have things to say to a specific person.  None of us want to hear or guess who you're talking at when you say "I can't believe I listened to you," or "Can't get you off my mind."  Like obviously you had a bad relationship.  And how dumb would you feel if your ex saw that their existence obviously takes up most of your time.  Stop tweeting about it.  Write in a journal or talk to your mom. 
  2. Songs
    1. Text message:  "Hey you should listen to this song, I think you'll really like it"
      1. The lyrics are indirectly saying exactly what this person wants to say to you, but they can't say it.  I call this pulling a Taylor Swift.
  3. The Grapevine
    1. "My friend told me that her roommate heard you and your sister talking at Starbucks last week about her.  Are you fighting?"
  4. Friendly Notes :) 
    1. I suppose this way is actually quite direct and to the point.  It's all done through notes though.  This is awkward because then when you see each other in person you remember that you forgot how to talk to people's faces when you have a problem.
    2. My friend had these on her Instagram, battles between her roommates.  Hilare. Hopefully Hailey and Kaisha figured things out.

Permanent Mistakes

Tattoos have the the hot topic of conversations lately.  I have no idea why, but this past week the idea of tattoos has basically been haunting me.  Maybe I'm just hanging out with the wrong people.  I don't really think that tattoos are a good idea, they are permanent, and most people get them when they are 18.  Some tattoos are really cool--and they mean something to the owner, so I'm not intending to offend anyone.  I'm just talking about those stupid tattoos.  Like Tiger swinging a golf club on the ankle of my 8th grade gym teacher.  She was a lesbian too.  Disney characters should not be permanently stamped anywhere besides maybe on your day pass to the park.  The other day I was dropping kids off at school and a mom bent over, out poked a rose with some old english writing from the left side of her chest, like it basically fell out, how embarrassing.

The main reason for not getting a tattoo, on the lower back in particular, is shown below.
