Life Lessons According to Megan

1. If you act like you know what you are doing, people WILL believe you.
Now, use judgement here. Acting like you can disassemble a bomb when you don't have a clue is just stupid. But in ordinary situations, ths really does work. And truthfully, if you have enough guts to act like you can do something, you probably can.

2. If you have nothing else to say to someone say "Gotcha."
Then move on. Sometimes its all you can do. Make sure you aren't agreeing to anything stupid just to get out of the situation. Also, if you do this all the time, peple catch on. Try so interchange "I got it.", "Taken care of!", or something similar. Be enthusiastic and actually do what you have so agreed to do. Atleast leave a trail that shows you tried.

see? She's happy, he is definately happy.

3. It is your right as an American to vote! It is also your right as an American to choose not to vote.

I am going to let you in on a little secret. If you don't like any of the candidates, you don't have to vote. Its called peaceful protest. You don't have to go and get all hippie-freak on or anything, but don't let anyone make you feel bad about not voting. Just make sure you have a good reason for not voting. And all that "If you don't vote, you can't complain" crap is just that. Crap. America was built on people who didn't like how they were ruled, complained, then fought to change it. Be ready to fight.

4. A good soundtrack mends even the frailest of hearts.
A few on my list right now:
-Let Go-FrouFrou
-Sweet Child of Mine-Guns'N'roses
-Closer-Joshua Radin
-Holding Out for Hero- FrouFrou
-Never Leave Your Heart Alone- Butterfly Boucher (A+)
-Where Did my Baby Go?-John Ledgend (Actually this one still kills me)
-Everything I'm Not- The Veronicas
-Leave Me Alone- The Veronicas
-Ode to Divorce- Regina Spektor
-Bartender -Regina Spektor
-I Believe in a thing Called Love!- The Darkness
-Anything by Lenny Kravitz (Who somehow was NOT in my Christmas stocking this year. AGAIN.)

I will post more later and I reserve the right to change any of the rules listed above. I'm only 20 afterall.
