Things one should never do...

1. never bite a hang-nail off your finger, causing it to bleed, and then try to play scales. its not pretty, and biting a hang nail off your finger hurts.
2. never start a conversation with the line "soo...hows the weather?" or "strange weather we've been having lately..." there are alot more inventive lines that will probably work better. try using " whats your favourite food?" or "OMW, I LOOOVE YOUR SOCKS!!!" they will melt like butter...
3. never wear socks and sandals in public. especially socks and flip flops. the whole strap-between-the-toes thing doesnt work with the average white-and-grey fruit of the loom socks. or hanes socks, for that matter.
4. try to refrain from inside joking around company. theres nothing as irritating as having kids laugh around you at a joke that you absolutely dont get... example: fred and jerry are around some random kids their parents invited over...
fred: "hey jerry, member the paint incident??"
jerry: "how could i forget... and you were like all over the place..."
fred: "hahahaha...stop it, im laughing too hard...heeheeeheeehaha..."
random kids: "who are these dorks??" :D:D
5. never go to a school like queenswood christian school, if you are not prepared to work for your stay... trust me on this one. and never get caught mid-conversation by my teacher (uncle johan), when you're supposed to be working, despite the fact that you've been working hard all week, and would dearly love to have a brief respite from working all day long.
6. never head bang to an extremely good song violently. besides the fact that you will get a head ache, people will think you are possessed and will avoid you at all costs. and dont stick your tongue out as you head-bang, you will then look like a retard doing the doggy-gone-mad impression.
7. never ask some one who dislikes fish fish-paste to eat on your toast. even though, as a south african you love to eat it on white toast. the fish-paste hater will not appreciate your act of innocent kindness...
8. never anger your father by arguing with him about playing scales... just go along with his will, and play your scales. you'd think i'd have learned this by now...
9. never crack a corny joke in the presence of gordon, no matter how funny you found it. lucky for me he's such a nice guy, else he would have punched me long ago for my many insults to good humour...:D:D
10. never go over to your friends place, and talk in your sleep. especially when your friend is talking to people via text messaging long after you fell asleep. its embarrassing when the address the issue the next morning...
11. never get into the habit of biting your nails... its a hard one to kick...

ok, hope ya'll enjoyed that... if not, kick me!
