Simple Joy of Life: Fullness. Specifically of gas tanks and cell phone batteries.

question:

how do you tell someone

that they have a closed mind?

Because think about it.

They're not open to new ideas,

only the ones in their head.

because it's CLOSED.

They're always right.

You introduce your ideas,

and they shut you down.

And if, by some chance, they finally DO listen to your advice,

they tell you something along the lines of, "Ok fine you're right, but there's no way I can do that,"

and then give you countless, retarded, unwilling, inflexible excuses as to why they can't take it.

So, tell me.

How do you get them to be more open?

How do you help someone with a closed mind?

i. love. this. movie. :)

GET. THE DIESEL VERSION.

Requirements: my name, at least 250 words, and at least 3 pictures.

That's all.

Feel free to comment on it, should you feel so inclined. It won't affect my grade. But don't feel forced to either... bottom line, just comment if you want. :)

I've grown to love assignments where minimal guidelines are given. :)

Story time:

In my junior year of high school, I needed another AP class so I could be in National Honors Society.

Saw AP Chem.

Asked my sister if she had any friends that had taken it. She said yes, and that they said it was just like general chemistry, but more in depth. I was like, "Sweet! I'll take it!"

cause I got an A in general chemistry.

Long story short, AP CHEM = WORST. CLASS. OF MY LIFE.

She didn't tell me which friends had taken the class...

...one was the valedictorian and the other was the salutatorian for their year.

Screwed up my 4.0 GPA since 7th grade.

A-, A- A, B+

Don't let those letters fool you- I absolutely had NO idea what the heck I was doing. Except for one unit (out of like a billion).

That year I also had AP Environmental Science (that's a whole different story!).

After that year, I swore myself off science for the rest of my life.

I've hated, no, HATED science.

Threw my aspirations to be a dentist out the window,

because there was no way in crap that I was taking another science class. ever. in my life.

Enter college, where I am forced to take a science class.

Physical Science.

death.

everyone hates it, and everyone only talks about how hard it is.

So I decided to bite the bullet this year and get it over with.

I've been doing the reading assignments,

and it's taken me a while, but...

I understand...!

I UNDERSTAND!!!

AND IT EXCITES ME!

science... excites me?

what... is... this...?

I am made of fire and ice.

My life isn't supposed to make sense, I guess.

But physical science does.

(so far)

life is good. family is better. :)

Can it please be April? after finals? And can we pleeeeeeeeeease go to Disneyland? My heart would very much like that.

I'm short.

My name starts with S.

My mom's name starts with S.

...guess this means you can call me SJ. :)

yes. this would be mine. and it would be in an art show. and people I don't know are saying this one is, "freaking awesome." no lie. :)

life is good. family is better. :)
