Lists are fun, especially if indexed and sorted!

How do people find things when they aren't sorted? I really don't get it. Like those people who have the insano desktops on their PC and there's 500 million icons on it and they have no organization to them whatsoever yet somehow they can find everything. Wtf? Maybe I just have an awful short term memory but I can't do that. I need things to be organized or I can't function. So back to the lists...


List of some of the stupid things I have done in my life:

1. Dropped out of college my sophomore year to get an entry level job making chump change, just so I could live with my boyfriend (now ex-boyfriend)
2. Dated a person who was certifiably crazy (major depression and schzio)
3. Had sex with a model (wasn't very good and was lacking in most areas aside from looks)
4. Quit a job without having something else lined up (very dangerous)
5. Pushed my parents away (they didn't deserve that I just felt a strong desire to be independent)
6. Tried to drive from VA to FL on no sleep and almost killed myself when I fell asleep at the wheel

List of some of the smart things I have done:

1. Gone back and finished college at night while working full time
2. Started selecting people to date with sanity high on the priority list along with intelligence
3. Decided to go for programming instead of sticking with IT support despite the fact that both pay about the same but programming is harder, because I knew I would have more job satisfaction in a challenging position
4. Quit a job without having something else lined up because I value my sanity more than money and have faith in my ability to find new work - this always resulted in getting a better job making better wages and was found within less than a month each time.
5. Told my parents how much I appreciate what good parents they were - and they really were a shit ton more patient than I would have been to myself, but seeing that what they did actually works makes me willing to be nicer if I ever have kids and much more confident in my abilities
6. Stopped eating things with trans fats and high fructose corn syrup
