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?

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.)
