I very rarely post something like the following and I've realized that's because I'm more apt to be sarcastic and snarky than anything else.

Instead of that, though, I'm going to try to be positive. It's Monday, I had a rough weekend and could use it. If I'm in that position, I'm sure others of you are as well.

So here goes - some inspirational quotations on friendship and interactions with other people from Eleanor Roosevelt. (Source)

No one can make you feel inferior without your permission.

Friendship with oneself is all-important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

Do what you feel in your heart to be right - for you'll be criticized anyway. You'll be damned if you do, and damned if you don't.

Learn from the mistakes of others. You can’t live long enough to make them all yourself.

Great minds discuss ideas; Average minds discuss events; Small minds discuss people.

The last is particularly important as you all discuss amazing ideas and stories and creativity. You all brighten my day with all of your posts.

(I bet some of you are saying, where's the wook we all know and love? She's here... just hidden underneath someone nicer right now)

How are your Mondays going?

Love the quotes. One of the best things about real friendships is being able to agrue and discuss and disagree sometimes.

Monday suck. But you knew that already. :)

I LOVE the icon.

Mondays do suck. But they could be worse, I guess. They could drag on for a few days... or something. Ok, I'm stretching.

EXACTLY on the friendship thing as I learned the hard way this weekend.

I woke up this morning already thinking about Friday. I hate wishing my whole week away like that but DUDE...Mondays! Argh.

Some inspirational quotes...Fi style.

- and then they get to wear the leather while they dominate you.

Friendship with oneself is all-important,
- PROOF that Elanor Roosevelt is in favor of masturbation.

You'll be damned if you do, and damned if you don't.
- If you're going to hell anyway, best make it for something spectacular, so as not to be laughed at by the other sinners.

Learn from the mistakes of others.
- If the first person doesn't survive their jump off the bridge, it's not likely that you will either.

*smooches*
I love my Wook, even when she's being emo.

emo? moi? snirt

You had me snorting and giggling while my boss was walking past and I had to make up some story about being happy to be at work today. You suck :P

You're amazing and thanks for getting me to laugh! *hugs*

*points and laughs*

I almost got you into trouble at work. Email isn't too bad. You could have been reading porn.

see - the whole LJ thing is banned at work so I'm not supposed to be on it ;)

I actually HAVE been reading porn at work when the boss has walked in... I just close the window fast.

First thing in the morning: 3 hour English synoptic exam.
20 minutes later: Final Math module.

My soul weeps. I think I've had enough of life.






The quotations are lovely.

*pets*

That sucks.

I'm glad you liked the quotations.

I'm with Wendy... Monday's suck. I really just want to go home and curl up in bed with my laptop and Smallville (now, thanks to wendy I want to watch more).

*hugs* <3 and all that.

[wook77.livejournal.com]

is that another fandom you're going to be getting in to?????

Hugs and ♥ and all that to you too!

I think I'm already sucked into it. It's unbelievable.

I like those quotes. They're in my quote file along with, errr, more fun quotes, like "Writing is easy. All you do is stare at a blank sheet of paper until drops of blood form on your forehead." from Gene Fowler. Not that I know who Gene Fowler is, or anything, but it's a brilliant quote.

And my Monday was eh. There is someone I like, but I gave them the brilliant-yet-sultry smile of massive sex and they had no reaction, so I am at a loss as to what to do. So few people are impervious to The Smile! It is very frustrating! Next time I will have to call in the more lascivious Smile of Doom (thus named because it enslaves men's hearts and drives them to death on rocky shores! and stuff!) and hopefully it will work. If not, I will cry a lot. By which I mean, I will forget the whole thing ever happened and chase after someone else. (In other words: Today was tremendously boring. I had to find something to entertain myself.)
