The following was cut from a magazine (Elle? Glamour?) and mailed to me, both as commentary on the life of the person who sent it and as a "Hint, hint" in my direction. For what it's worth....
There is some major irony on that list, particularly #9--I am laughing my fool ass off right now over that.11 Risks Worth Taking in Life If you're the don't-chance-it type, here's motivation to go out on a limb at work, in love, wherever: A recent German study of more than 20,000 people found that those who were willing to take risks in life were happier than those who weren't as gutsy. No need to rent a hang glider; smaller leaps can be deeply satisfying. Let this list of mini gambles inspire you!
- Saying "I love you" first.
- Going for the job above the job you actually think you can get.
- Ordering the snails.
- Ordering them in French.
- Being the first one on the dance floor.
- Red lipstick. Really big earrings. Slutty shoes. (But not all at once!)
- The teenier bikini.
- Composing the song, painting the picture, making the movie, writing the novel, without knowing if anyone else will be interested.
- Casting your profile into the online pool and seeing what you catch.
- Doing karaoke...sober.
- Arriving at your destination 10 hours late because you gave up your seat on an overbooked flight for a free ticket. Look out, Vegas!
I do have one question, though: "slutty" shoes? What is a "slutty" shoe? Why have I never been informed of the existence of such a thing?
