Ok, number 3 was mostly thoughts from today. From just now, actually. But on with thoughts from yesterday..

4) When you rear-end somebody and you are a scrawny young man, and the person you rear-ended is a significantly burlier man who looks like a scruffy Kid Rock and drives a large vehicle, it might be wise NOT to get up in his face and cuss him out.

5) Not all last-minute shopping experiences are bad. I swung by Wal-mart yesterday to pick up a couple of everyday items, and everyone I saw was in a fairly decent mood, the cashier most of all. So even if I had been there buying gifts at the last minute, it would have been a good experience.

6) I am "on" much of the time. I am a performer as much as any I know, except that I sing off-key and I freeze on stages, so I like the little normal-life performances instead. And then when I go into my introverted mode, people get all paranoid that I'm mad at them or they think I'm sick. It's like how my mouth (and all the females from my mother's side) naturally curves down and thus if I'm not actually smiling I look like I'm frowning. So if I'm just nuetral or just thinking, even about nice and pleasant things, I look like I am mad or upset. In the same way, if I'm not talking, people think there's something wrong.. and perhaps it's a sign of their own confidence/perception whether they think the something wrong is with them (that I would be mad at them for.. or is that a sign of how they see me?) or just a natural something wrong with me, like being sick. This has always been the case, though, when I go introverted. These days, I'm having enough alone time that I'm generally introverted while alone and extroverted (or "on") when around others. So it's working nicely enough.

7) I don't like the number six in general.. I don't like six being the final number of anything I do or the total number of anything I have. When putting some hair clips in last night (I did that style of twisting the top of my hair into rows and clipping them in the back), I had seven black ones and I absolutely did not want to use six, which was entirely feasible. Incidentally, one of them broke while I was taking them out last night, so I'll either have to use six tonight and be fine with that, or use the brown ones that came in the set instead. Or use some brown and some black. Or use bobby pins. The bobby pin method of this hairstyle doesn't work for me, though. I'll prolly just use the black clips. And I'm not into the mystical side of numerology or anything.. I just don't like six in general. It's a feeling, an awareness. So, this thought, although it is a thought from yesterday as well, is posted here simply so that I would not leave the post with 6 points..
