Is backbiting really a human trait? I attribute my reasons to cowardice, not being able to tell someone how i feel upfront. Another reason would be that i consider it a fact and i just said something that might not be flattering but still part of acceptance. Like if someone is just always in a conceited frame of mind, i figure that's really how he/she is but we're still friends anyway. Doesn't matter.
Rumaging through all your old stuff tends to make you remember stuff. before you throw them out. and sometimes there are things that makes you want to kick yourself in the ass for. Such as that check dated 2003 (four years ago! dammit!) for US$297 and i can't even remember why the hell i have it. but it was addressed to me. and why didn't i deposit it? why? why? urg. i'm not going to revel in it anymore. sigh. must have been all the stress in AIM that caused me to zone it out of memory. still stupid.
I saw some old high school photos. and notes. and all these other things. one time, the backbiting in my group of girls got so bad, we didn't know what to do about it. It was just so intense that we would have lunch silently. Then someone had a great idea. Why not just fight it out. So one lunch, we skipped our daily dose of carbs and proceeded to the field. And we just pounced. thank God for all girls schools where no boys would witness it and throw cattle calls to cheer you on. I seem to recall a few hair pulling but it was more throwing empty punches and rolling around in the grass. at some point it got so messed up we just stopped and lay on the ground laughing so hard. good stress reliever. but not something i'd recommend to the weak of heart.
the next time i bump into my old buddy, think i'll remind her of that insane afternoon. and we can have a good laugh about it again.
recent wishlist:
BOOTS! I want some nice brown leather ones. not the pleather fakers. nice straight and heeled boots to wear with jeans. second picture from the left...

Highschool girlfight? When? Who? How? I'm so behind!
