Oh that's so cliche

[slavendermenace]

I need your help. Hit me up with your favorite cliche! I am trying to make a big list. Especially the one's about life.

- Reach for the stars.
- You are what you eat.

ya win some ya lose some.
that's the way the cookie crumbles.
that's the way the table turns.
if life gives you lemons...

and to a lesser extent:
mama always said there'd be days like this.
it's my party and I'll cry if I want to.

the grass is always greener on the other side

you should only use a cliche when you're stuck between a rock and a hard place

[whats_unspoken]

because no good deed goes unpunished on the road to hell that's paved with good intentions. along the way, you win some, you lose some, but when it rains, it pours- growing flowers and even though a rose by any other name would smell as sweet, it probably wouldn't look as good from inside a glass house if you were throwing stones through the windows. Speaking of glass houses, this one isn't big enough for the both of us, and since you're not part of the solution, you must be part of the problem. But, it's not you, it's me - I never learned to look before I leap, so it seems, I'm damned if i do and i'm damned if i don't, but they say time heals all wounds. It's too bad my watch is broken, but even a broken watch is right twice a day.

and I'm not sure what the amount of wood a woodchuck can chuck has to do with the price of rice in china, but I think if scotty could, he'd beam me up.

holy shit, that is fucking brilliant. you are so clever. and my girlfriend thinks that you are very very clever. is that a picture of you? b/c it's super fucking cute. we met at the Las Vegas show right? I am so glad that you are my live journal friend. I have so much respect for you, this is awesome! :)

If I hadn't just laboured away all my energy on shifting the weight of my existence

from one apartment to another, I'd go skipping, I'd say, "Suzy LaFollette called me brilliant and cute, to boot!"

alas, I am a puddle of tired-ness pooling in my own skin, wearing the same dress I wore the last time they all saw me. I'll skip in my head.

It's me, when my hair was just a touch longer and it was cold enough to wear scarves and I felt like making idiotic faces at the camera. thank you to you and you're little girl friend too!
