Rules I've learned so far this year...

Don't ever: trust those pretty girls who say they want to kiss you, stay up so late you go insane, force yourself, read badly written books, drink de-caf or eat crisps.
Always: watch TV shows you used to watch when you were small, wear something pretty for bed even if you are sleeping alone, wake up before 1:00.
Do: eat more cheese than possible.
Finally: It is possible to find lovely people when you least expect it.
