I knew I'd be bad at this

I did. I knew it. Blogging, journaling, faithfully keeping ANY kind of record of myself, my thoughts, my life, or my experiences is not something I have ever been terribly good at. I always feel like it isn't worth writing if I don't have something of significance to write about. And as most of you are aware, there is not too much actually happening in my life, hence no blog posts.
There is also a laziness factor because last week or the week before I actually had a really great blog post all written in my head but I kept not actually writing it and then the ship kind of just sailed. I will say that it was quite a good story which most definitely involved me scaling a 6 foot fence in flip flops and a towel(there was also a bathing suit, you pervs), and the towel may or may have gotten caught on the fence and been ripped off on the way down. Other than that there really isn't a whole helluva lot going on.
But can I just quickly point out how much I hate it when people are lacking in common courtesy? For instance, say a person is trying to sell a car and you express interest in said car. And let's say that first person promptly a politely replies to your inquiries and answers any and all questions you might have at which point you say you need to think about it and will get back to them. Is it me or is it just tacky to leave somebody waiting for a reply? Seriously, what is so difficult about making a phone call or writing an email that says "Thanks, but no thanks" or "I decided to go with something else" or even "Hell no, I don't want your car"?
As you may have guessed I am the seller in this scenario and this has happened more than once. However, this is about a bigger issue than just my car selling frustrations. This is about all the stupid people who get my hopes all up and then flake out. Really you guys what is so difficult about calling when you say you're going to call or whatever your preferred method of contact may be? Now, I'm not trying to point any fingers here (partially because I don't have enough fingers to point at every guy in the world or every annoyingly flaky girl) but really, just do what you say you're going to do. This is a serious problem in the world. If you can't do something, don't say you can. If you can but you just don't want to then don't say you will. This really is not a difficult concept to grasp.
Bottom line...say what you mean, and mean what you say.


Also, somebody please buy my car cause I can't afford the gas anymore and I really have my heart set on a new one now. That is all.
