It's time, once again, for another set of random comments, taken
from the archives of the Celebok Report!


A lot of times when I'm paying for something in cash at a
supermarket or fast food restaurant or any other busy place with
people waiting in line behind me, as soon as the cashier gives me my
change and says, "Thank you, have a nice day," I tend to feel very
rushed to put my change away and grab my stuff so that the next
person in line can go up. When the cashier says that, it's like the
end of the transaction, so I have no business still standing there
and making the next person wait. Sometimes I don't even bother to
put the change in my wallet and just pocket it, grab my merchandise
in any fashion that I can, and rush out, then I can re-secure my
stuff once I'm outside.

I decided I wanted to send a female friend a simple bouquet of
flowers for Valentine's Day, just as a nice gesture. Nothing
romantic, just something that she'll appreciate. Well, apparently,
as Valentine's Day approaches, flower shops just have no room or
patience for platonic people like me. They're in a mad rush to meet
the demands of all the other people who REALLY celebrate Valentine's
Day. Roses are unavailable in any color but red, and flower
bouquets can only be in certain arrangements that they've listed,
all of which are way overkill for my intent. So basically, I either
have to celebrate Valentine's Day the way the mass majority does, or
I don't celebrate it at all.

Another great thing about being single is that I can do something
nice for a girl, and she'll really appreciate it because she wasn't
expecting it.

I still suck at understanding certain types of British accents.

I need to get into the habit of taking a bite out of every food
that's on my plate within the first three minutes that I'm served it
in a restaurant. There have been many times when the waiter or
waitress would come by just a few minutes after serving my meal and
say, "How is everything?" and the only thing I've tried so far are
the french fries or the vegetables. So I just say, "Okay, so far."
Luckily there hasn't been a case where tasting the rest of my meal
has actually produced new information as to how "everything" is.
