Say Something Nice.

In honor of my last post in which I decided to try to be less of a gossipy bitch and more like Audrey Hebpurn, I’m going to veer away from complaining. I’m posting a photo of Sharon Tate though because I’m a little Audrey’d out. And Tate was also said to be one of the kindest and sweetest people around.

~~ If someone is bragging about their job, let them. They probably worked really hard to get to where they are and you would be bragging too. If, however, they do this for longer than 10 minutes, kindly excuse yourself. DO NOT say, “Excuse me, but your bragging is giving me terrible diarrhea.” Instead say, “Excuse me, I’m going to get another drink. Can I get anybody anything?

~~ Usually they will decline your drink offer; if however, someone takes you up on it, just smile and nod. Then walk away and don’t get their drink. You’re not a butler.

~~ Wadsworth, however, is a butler. And it’s not his fault that his wife was a socialist. We all make mistakes!

~~ Everybody loves free food. If you ever feel like you’re going to go somewhere and you’re going to be terribly awkward, bring food. No one will notice how awkward you are!

~~ People love hearing their own name. It warms them up. Try it.

~~ However, don’t repeat their name more than once in a sentence. You’ll sound like Hannibal Lecter.

~~ Hannibal Lecter was really cool though. Smart, cultured guy.

~~ Really though, don’t creep anyone out.

~~ You can always find something nice to say about someone. Are they wearing a pleasant shirt? What about a festive necklace? Do they smell nice? Use these things to your advantage. Ex.:

“Mabel, I adore your necklace.”

~~ The great thing is that even if you don’t adore Mabel’s necklace, she’ll never know. I can’t think of a time when you will need to tell Mabel the truth about her necklace. Have you noticed that no one is really named Mabel? That must have been a popular name at some point.

~~ Apparently, Mabel means “lovable.” It is English in origin and is also spelled “Mable.”

~~ 1916 had the highest record of girls named Mabel. By 1934 it was less than half.

~~ Here’s my research: (http://www.babynameshub.com/baby-names-girls/Mabel.html)

~~ I’m really enjoying the song “New Mate” by the band Figurine.

~~ If I were to meet one of the members of the band Figurine, I would tell them this.

~~ And that is a nice thing to say.
