Was gonna change the name of the blog... but couldnt come up with anything.

So yeah, thought about changing it, but I didn't. Also, this is a response to the tag that my lovely sister in law Karlenn tagged me on with the pet peeves thing. I thought long and hard about what my pet peeves were and I have to admit this was infinitely more easier to nail some down than the quirks thing. I know I'm living like two years ago in blog posting time, but whatever, I'm cool with that.

I would have to say that one of my ultimate pet peeves is people who are indecisive. When I decided that this is the one that I was going to post on, I realized that having such a pet peeve means that there are lots of other pet peeves that are tied into that. They all escape me now because its late and I'm listening to Oasis' Wonderwall, a perennial classic. I know and am acquainted with many, many, MANY, people who are very indecisive. So why does this bug me so bad? I have no idea, I guess I just weigh out the pros and cons of things as quickly as possible and go for it. As mentioned in the last post though, because I am very good at lying to myself (some people call this being deluded I think) I rarely, if ever, regret making a "wrong" choice either. To me, its all in the past, so deal with whatever came of it now and move on. This seems so simple to me, but maybe it isn't. The only time I am indecisive is at work. This is because decisions I make there set precedent sometimes and thus must be considered more heavily. So it might take me like an hour or two to talk to some other people or look something up. So yeah, compared to people who cant decide what they are going to for dinner tonight and end up eating at like 10 o'clock, I think the turn around time for me on those kinds of decisions is pretty quick. There you have it, one of my ultimate pet peeves.

How about "White and Nerdy" for a blog name :D have you ever seen that Weird Al video :) I love it.

Touche, April, on the indesiciveness! (I don't know how to spell that, but you say "too-shay".) White and Nerdy rocks! I suggested a song title or something, like "I am the Walrus", but Pete hates the Beatles, so you know, maybe not the best choice.

I think when I sound indecisive, it's because I don't want to force other people into doing something they don't want to do.

Oh, Nat is soooooo indecisive! You can always count on her to say, over and over, "I don't really care. I don't know. I don't really care. You decide." We had to convince her to make the decision about where we would eat on Saturday for HER BIRTHDAY!! But, maybe it's better to be indecisive than impulsive (which is what I am). Or is it compulsive? Hmmm. I need to look both up...

Hmmm...I don't know what you should change your blog name to...I was thinking of doing the same, but haven't thought of anything for me either...
Yeah, so I love the song Wonderwall...it always reminds me of when you were in high school.
