Grow As A Person
I'm turning 30 in a couple of weeks. Heading to NYC with my chicas for the big event. I had planned on going to Las Vegas because I'd never been and turning 30 seemed like a great reason to go, but working out the logistics I was all, "I don't like to gamble, I don't do prostitutes, I can't afford the good shows, and I can't take time off work and all the package deals are for 3 nights/4 days. So LV was bumped for my fave city. New York, New York. I'm starting to get really excited!So my new mantra for entering my Carlsberg years is "growing as a person." I am not one of those type of people who are ignorant of their flaws. I am very aware of who I really am, but have not particularly been interested in improving upon my (yes, numerous) flaws. I'm going to work on that this decade. However, I need to take baby steps. My first step is to gossip less. I have a serious problem. I cannot keep a secret. Eventually, I will burst, and not always on purpose, but simply because I won't be thinking before talking and the next thing I know, the cat's out of the bag. (I also need to work on not abusing the comma. I have a serious problem with that as well....)
In any case, I'll let you know how it goes. And I have a couple of other theories in the vein of "ugly-funny vs. pretty-dull" that I would like to share with you. But that's for another time.
Simply,
Highbrow

It's funny, you use commas in inappropriate places and don't use them when it makes sense. For e.g., you could have joined 'i have a serious problem' and 'i cannot keep a secret' with a comma. But I am no expert on grammar, so let's just say whatev and move on.
I find I gossip less now cause I do not know many people here and the ones that I do know do not know eachother. Plus, I am not that interested in the lives of many of these people to listen to their gripes. And yet, they all manage to unload their crap on me. I should stop being (pretending to be) so sympathetic.
ick.
I don't use them in appropriate places. I overuse them. I write run-on sentences. There's a difference. Also, you can join "I have a serious problem" and "I cannot keep a secret" with a colon or semi colon, but since the two statements are not fragments, you cannot splice them together with a mere comma.
Besides, I meant to make two defined statements. I have a serious problem PERIOD. I cannot keep a secret PERIOD. I am not be able to spell, but i know about grammar.
You never really gossiped anyway. You were more of a gossip tease. "I know something about someone but I can't tell you...."
are you kidding, aa is more like, " I know something, but I don't remember what it is...". sound familiar?!?!
