a picture is worth a thousand words
“7 magical conversational phrases”
I came across this article the other day on Match.com. (Eh. Don’t ask WHY I was on Match.com… That hot sexy blonde whose picture is winking at ya? Yup. That’s my profile: I used a picture I took of A Vapid Blonde… Now you know. People LIE about these things…)
It immediately caught my attention. I sure could use some help in social situations, and these are promised to be “magical”!
Smart phrase #1: “Tell me more about it”
Smart phrase #2: “What are the reasons for your opinion?”
Smart phrase #3: “I never thought of it that way”
Smart phrase #4: “That must have upset you”
Smart phrase #5: “How did it go?”
Smart phrase #6: “You are a really generous person”
Smart phrase #7: “I really admire that” or “That takes courage. I admire that.”
.
As I read through the article, without much snickering, I became worried about the possibility that when the needs arise, I may not remember these 7 magical spells under duress. I remembered the days when I was trying to educate my kids the art of correctly using the alphabet: Yes. Flash cards work wonders, and visualization is the key to the mythical depth of human memory vault.
Here are the 7 visualizations to help me, and now you too, memorize these 7 magical conversational phrases and be the life of the party next time you are caught in one of those social occasions.
You are welcome.

If you don’t count the works that were not supposed to be mine but when it all of a sudden became mine three precious days had passed and there were only two days left to work on it.
If you don’t count the general assholery that’s thrown over the wall to my cubicle.
If you don’t count wolfing down the rest of the Sookie Stackhouse True Blood Series because 1) I needed to escape reality so much that even blogging and twittering would not do, 2) the sex and the description of it just gets hotter and hotter between Sookie and Eric, and 3) I believe I have developed an addiction to voyeurism.
.
Nuthin’ much. Really.
.
I'm going to Disney World y'all. No. Not really. I've always wanted to say that.
.
I suspect that Dilbert has been following me around at work otherwise how can every single one of these recent comics be so accurate in telling what I am going through??!!
.
Oh, yeah. I realized that using the time it took me to work on the picture of me announcing my trip to Dilbert World, I could have written a better post. Shut up. Thank you. xxoo
