You learn something new everyday: what did you learn today?

Well, the story behind why I said that is because my dad always worries that I'm going to get kidnapped when I go to the park and I was complaining to a friend that I thought my dad was being irrational. Then my friend said that it's not irrational because he's heard a story of a woman who got kidnapped in her front yard at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and whose body was found several months later.

I learned that ebay is a good way to shop for something you want

I learned that my artwork turns out better when I draw big, as I'm naturally inclined to do, rather than trying to force myself to draw small.

Pretty much, like the real Mick Avory, I slip into my comfort zone, very easily. I guess it comes with being an Endomorph. I can't do that around the parking lots, at my job, though. Why didn't my supervisor tell me that, before? That would have saved a whole bunch of trouble.

I've also got to be the leader and be the first one done, at my morning job, being that I'm the first one who started, out of the three remaining people who are never in charge.

I've learned my attempt at trying to adjust a component on my bicycle did not go as planned therefore, I'll be taking the bus tomorrow to work..

I learnt that I hate surds. Hate them.

I learned that the song "Lola" is about a man who sees a woman in a bar and then discovers that she is actually a transvestite. My dad and I were in the car when it came on the radio, and he turned the volume up so I could hear it.

famm9ble and inflamible eans keep away from open flmaes

I learned that the expression "making biscuits" is another way of saying kneading

just about anything will bite your finger when stuck in its moutjh

I learned that my uncle, who I must say is rather manly, loves Phantom of the Opera and thinks that the movie adaptation is one of the greatest movies of all time.

Not that I'm unhappy about that, mind you. I'm a bit of a phan myself.

NT's lie, even when it's written down in black and white by them on a computer screen they can still lie and try and convince others that they didn't say it and anyway he's a psychologist or psychiatrist and I'm just an aspie and he has to deal with people like me all the time at work so can't be bothered to continue with this when he's at home in his leisure time. EVEN WHEN IT'S UP ON THE SCREEN INFRONT OF EVERYONE. I don't know, maybe the pixies wrote it.

What happened was I said I wasn't happy about some of the things he said about me on a forum we both use. Then on another thread he changed what I said and made it look like I was against him and other forum members. When I pointed out he had changed around what I said he then starts accusing me of calling him a liar. So I said you are lying and copied and pasted what I originaly said, his reply was, he deals with people like me all the time and can't be bothered argueing me any more. Strange, my phone has just rang and it's his number showing, how freaky is that.

The thing is I've known him for about 5 years and we are mates. He wants to sort it out "off forum" but if we do it will still leave me looking like a bit of an idiot on the forum.

So what I've learned today is never trust a friend.

I learned what "haver" in the Proclaimers song "500 Miles" means:

haver
Verb
1. Scot & N English dialect to talk nonsense

That patience is a virtue.

I just learned the real plot of Pinocchio.
