the mother of all excuses…
I’m having issues.
I made a ‘vow’ to myself a few years ago that I would stop doing things that I don’t want to do. And it has been working out fairly well!
I feel like I make good decisions in terms of continuing to try new things, yet staying clear of things that I am fairly certain will not ‘mesh’ with me.
For the most part I just steer clear of things that “society” says I *should* enjoy because I’m female/black/twenty-something etc, but in reality I don’t enjoy and haven’t enjoyed in the past.
lately though, I’ve fallen back into the habit of doing these ‘things’ and now I’ve agreed to be part of something in a few months and I’m trying to think of an excuse to get out of it.
it’ll have to be a BIG excuse though. …and I have to be able to use it now.
something like breaking a limb (preferably a leg) or getting a virus (preferably something non-fatal)
(aside: has anyone heard the latest H1N1 news? it’s SCARY!)
(aside: I was reading some article that asked what the new name for the swine flu/ H1N1 virus should be. Someone suggested ‘P1G1′. I LOVE IT!)
….
I almost forgot what I was writing about. hah!
so, I did a quick google search. I figured someone must’ve collected a list of really great excuses.
I came across this site: The Mother of All Excuses Place.
unfortunately though, I clicked the subject that applies to me and the excuses weren’t very helpful.
They were things like, ‘the cat ate my homework’
bummer.
