1. I turn towards the driver of the Golden Gate Transit Route 23 bus; she is a complete stranger, but I trust her with my life almost every day.
2. He is that man in the gym wearing a sleeveless shirt, yelling, grunting, clanging the weights whenever he is done using them.
3. I used to fantasize about the bus crashing, me saving him from the accident and then him falling in love with me. Typical. Not that he would have ever saved me if he were in my position.
4. Estoy escribiendo en Espanol. Did you get that?
5. You're in the dark, expecting the teacher to lead you to the light, and the Distant Genius only reminds you that you're looking for something bright.
6. The student's actions are masked by the darkness, allowing them to do things that they normally wouldn't do in public spaces.
7. Contrary to other types of people, the good-looking people of the French Republic are not sexy, but they are truly beautiful: cute little noses, voluptuous lips, golden soft hair, and bodies that would look good even in a trash bag.
8. The literary soil is no longer arable as the invasive species of "like" and "um" grow rampant.
9. That's why it came as quite a shock when one day I met a boy. A real one. Who liked me. Granted, I "met" said boy on the phone, but our telephonic divide had not stopped the pre-pubescent feelings of "like-like."
10. She looked at me apologetically, but I just smiled and said I wasn't hungry. Jane Doe didn't need to eat; she needed to begin studying for her performance.
11. No, I don't mean CatDog, the creepy cartoon from old school Nickelodeon, nor a catdog, a bizarre new mixed breed that only I have heard of. I mean catdog: the rare cat that has been blessed with the friendly disposition of a dog.
12. It gives us even more uniqueness and, in some ways, it creates a community: the word is totally ours.
13. But this year I realized that someone (in fact, many people) had stolen my thunder, pulled the rug ut from under me, ripped on my riff, jacked my jive and busted my move. Everyone else's dad is goofy too.
14. I can remember a time when our bathroom counter and shelves were lined with products, products we never really used, make-up I love in the store but wouldn't actually wear.
15. I have taken colleges off of my application list because, in the same flyer, they put a space before a dash in one instance and no space before it in another.
16. To my horror, my father responded, "you're welcome." Did he no know the he should have said, "thank you, too"? Did he not realize that he' done nothing deserving thanks?
17. I hate buff guys at the gym.
