jawnbc1. Some people who are compelling, engaging and charming in text can't hold a conversation face-to-face.
2. You can be totally supportive and validating to some people 95% of the time. But in the 5% where you step up (as a friend) and challenge something they say or do, you've betrayed them (take a number, 'cause everyone betrays them and their ilk).
3. The best expectations are amusement and distraction; others will, at some time, be met with disappointment.
4. There are two types of role models: I want what you have and thank Gawd I'm not you. We all get to play both parts.
5. One person's sharing da joy is (many) others' gloating.
6. Some people who can't hold a conversation in text are compelling, engaging and charming face-to-face.
7. Be wary of "experts" who've been working on their PhDs for 9+ years.
8. While it's great that many on here put not work safe shite behind cuts, it's your fault for reading LJ @ work if someone's non-LJ cut entry loads a photo of a huge, engorged cock onto your monitor.
9. Cantankerous and crabby are not necessarily critical; beware those who never (or very rarely) ever have anything positive to say about life, the universe and everything
10. Break-ups, diets, bad hair, depression, "it's who I am" or impulse are lame excuses for being obnoxious, rude or insensitive. Gracious apologies, however, remedy such mis-steps easily
