I. Why are door knockers usually
only gold-colored? What's wrong
with copper, or silver, or (gasp)
PURPLE? Do even the door knockers
have to conform?

II. You're bound to say I look like
a boy; before you do, don't.

III. Just because something is little,
it is NOT necessarily worthless.

IV. I look like I'll break, perhaps, but
I don't feel like that if you poke me.

V. Bathrobes are kind of pointless.

VI. I miss you. Come back so I can say
"I love you."

VII. Chairs with wheels are definitely
better than those without.

VIII. Whoever invented tissues and tissue
boxes must have been pretty cool.

IX. You're not ugly or fat. Far from it.

X. People can be geniuses and still make
stupid remarks. This is discouraging.

XI. My vacuum-cleaner is broken.

XII. Where is everyone? It's summer!

XIII. Do you prefer green or purple? No,
I wasn't talking about popsicles. On the
contrary, I was referring to life.

XIV. I'm not doing this for him. At all.

XV. Yes, I am.

XVI. No, I'm not.

XVII. Only I would be capable of having a
written argument with myself.

XVIII. Paint your glasses with clear
sparkle nail polish. It makes life
interesting again.

XIX. I wonder if that really means 19
or if I made it up.

XX. Hugs all around. Including to myself.
What?? I need one.

XXI. Sheep.
