276 Entries for “obvious”

  1. I could tell by the size and shape of the packaging. The contents of the present were obvious. I could even see a bit of the handle sticking out. My wife had gotten me an axe for Christmas. But why would she do that? We lived in a house in the ‘burbs. There was nothing to chop on here except each other.

  2. This was obviously the word yesterday. And I must say I’m quite disappointed. I just wanted to write about something new…and so now I am going to stop writing early… :/

  3. What seems obvious to one is invisible to another.

    Yet it’s there, right there, but still the other can’t see it.

    This causes such frustration.

    And I wonder, does the other really not see, or does the other pretend not to see?

    To get away?

  4. Is this the same word everyday ? Because I’ve, literally, wrote about this word for the past 2 days. I’m a little upset. It’s obvious this website is not meeting my expectations. Woe is me. Whatever.

  5. What do you mean you did not see that woman walk out of our apartment ?it
    Was obvious He was trying to hind something.

  6. Isn’t it obvious, cried the milkman? At that house they have started asking for two bottles of milk. Any yet they do not have a pet, they live alone.

  7. to state the obvious, it’s just there; plain to see, needless to say, heart on sleeve, no doubt about it. objective, understood, understandable, like few things in life…can anything really be obvious at all…?

  8. “Look,” I said with exasperation, running my hand through my hair, “just tell me what’s happened.”

    He looked into my eyes steadily. “Isn’t it obvious?”

    “Not to me, it isn’t.”

    “That’s because you’re letting your fear block you.”

    “I’m not afraid.”

    “Oh, yes… yes, you are. You can’t lie to me. You can only lie to yourself now.”

  9. you never take a step towards me,because it is always about you.you tell me you want me to fight for you,but you never stick your neck out for me,never take the chance to let me know that it is actually you i’m approaching.you never never accept me for who i am.you question why you should be controled by anyone all the while begging to be controled and mastered like some shakespearian shrew.i am not stromg enough,nor have the desire to play this game.i love you though it seems that means to you i have some mental illness or unmanly weekness.your beatings have left me tired rejected but still unable and unwilling to stop loving you.i can’t stop.i feel that this control you have over me is no longer a healthy thing,but that i am a stalker within my own brain,obsessed in an unhealthy manner.you see me this distressed and still don’t acknowledge me.you can’t see this and do nothing and still love me can you?you question why people should suffer,i question then why do you make me suffer

  10. when obvious isnt obvious it’s hard to convince someone when you know what is meant. the spider and the fly knew when it was obvious. that’s why the web was invented.

  11. It was amazing to me that I could feel the way I did and that it wasn’t obvious to everyone around me. I must have been much more skilled than I thought at hiding my feelings.

  12. A long time ago she discovered how to lie blatantly. She was usually so honest, but every so often twisting perceptions could be fun. In her mind, hiding the obvious was like performing a magic trick.

  13. It’s so obvious we will never fit in to that cliche, and as sad as I can sometimes be, this thought will always make me feel better. They say dirty freaks, we say rebels. They can fuck off, we could live our lifes.

  14. there is a fine line between being obvious and being subtle. some people who have poor social awareness…can sometimes be very obvious about a feeling that they think they are being subtle about. facial expressions can be very obvious giveaways.

  15. Who’s to say what’s obvious? In math’s I understood calculus before anyone else, but still can’t grasp some of the concepts of geometry. They just don’t click for me.
    And it’s obvious that people need to worry about what a world of famous people would be like. Obviously no one’s really considered that, otherwise people wouldn’t pursue fame.

    Why are the young so poor and without future, while the old get richer?

  16. It is obvious that the word obvious is overused and quite abused. I don’t like it at all, really. It tends to be too plain in sight. There are better words to use like apparent. I enjoy apparent. Much more than obvious. It’s not a pretty word, either. Much too round.

  17. Everyone else sees it. But that one. That’s one doesn’t see it because that one is enveloped by it. And the other one won’t tell that one. And the other one watches that one suffer silently with every smile wishing those lips could get just a little closer. The other one is scared to.

  18. This sentence is so obvious to me and you because we obviously know what it means and it’s so simple and easy and I will continues writing until the time ends.

  19. but goes by unnoticed every time.

  20. Isn’t obvious the way I feel
    obvious that I love you
    obvious that I need you
    obvious that we belong together for all time

    What haven’t I done to make things clear? I love you… it’s very obvious.

    Oh and it’s obvious that you love me ;)

  21. It’s obvious what we should be doing today – I mean, the sun is actually shining, we’ve all eaten far too much – time to get out, take a tramp through the forest, give your lungs an airing. So what am I doing, sitting at my computer?

  22. It was as clear as the tap water flowing from that faucet of yours. There’s nothing in there that could actually mean something, unless of course you look too closely, and then you’ll see everything that should be obvious than what really is.

  23. ive had this before and now i am going to have to write about it again. you should have better programming so that even if i click the refresh button or go back the random generator gives me a different word. basically i discussed whether the word ‘obvious’ shows me its inherent qualitative aspects when i see it or if it has different, hidden effects.

  24. It was obvious what she thought of me. She didn’t like me. Her nose wrinkles at the sight of me. Her murmured whispers to the best friend of hers, constant sneaky glances.

  25. I knew you couldn’t love me-men like you
    Never do.
    Intimidation, control, naïve sense of self value
    Bought and sold like curtains-had nothing to hide but insecurities
    Can you hold the next-the way you held me?
    Lie to me, teach me what It means to betray
    My heart cracking, a little more than it used to
    When trust was never something I offered freely
    Truth be told, I could have loved you.
    I wished you would’ve paid closer attention.
    Now, I’m just that crazy girl that wanted you, when no one ever knew
    You the way I did-shut down, karma plays a new hand. Mine.

  26. It’s so obvious that I have no idea what I’m doing. I mean look, I’m 14, I’ve never had a boyfriend and now he expects me to know all this? And now I might be depressed and it’s obviously who’s fault? Huh, huh? But I can’t say anything because I love him and I might hurt him and he’ll go.

  27. Why do the things that are meant to be obvious and seem so obvious to others seem so difficult for me to figure out? It doesn’t seem fair that everyone else “gets” it. But really, I’m sure we’re all lost and sad.

  28. obviously it’s not a good idea to be awake at 4.40 am but i am and i dont know what to do im so tired i can’t write just wite without thinking the first thing i thought was the lyrics to a mcfly song thats like obviously shes out oof my league im wasting my time ahh that band was so shit

  29. Oops, I just fell down the rabbit hole and crumpled my pressed white apron. I hope the grass stains it gained as I slid into the dirty hole aren’t too very obvious. I’m completely out of countenance.

  30. when things arent hidden from you, for once, life can be obvious. we always joke about people pointing out the obvious but, really, what is obvious about life? nothing. we make assumptions, crude assessments, but nothing is actually OBVIOUS. love is a secret, life is a secret, the world is a secret, our very own secret that no one will ever, ever know about.

  31. There are two tragedies in life: to lose love and to gain it. It’s obvious that love sucks because not matter how hard you try and no matter what you do, you end up fighting for someone who won’t fight back as much. Love is always one-sided. Why bother?

  32. its obvious that noone likes me. but everyone likes me. i smile, i laugh i run. relentless positivity. but then, its obvious i dont like myself. what is it? overall laziness and inability to change. lose weight. do it. its the obvious choice to make. thats all that needs to be said.

  33. Obvious that I should’ve started already. Went back and put an ‘l’ in ‘should’ve’. Terrible shit this writing biz.

  34. its stairing right at you and everybody knows it. its the truth out in the open. its clear as day there is no denying it. theres no mystery or hidden answer is right infront of you. you dont need to be told what it is or what it going on because you can already see clearly just by looking at it. nobody can try to lie about it because its to upfront.

    by Chelsie on 12.26.2010
  35. well, isn’t it? I don’t know. I guess it should be, but sadly it is not. but the good news is that it’s not far from view, it simple must be acknowledged. Faith. Believe.

  36. I don’t think there are any other words on this site.

    Cool concept, but I’m going to stumble again.

    Obviously.

    *farts*

  37. It’s it though? God it’s so. You’re so, I’m so, it’s all so…
    And yet it isn’t, is it? It never really is, at least not as we’re living It. Everything always is in hindsight but who’s ever looking at what’s already happened? No one. Isn’t that much you know, obvious?

    by Charles on 12.26.2010
  38. I have now gotten obvious three times in a row. I feel like it’s some sort of sick pun.

    Maybe one day, things will be less obvious.

    Obviously.

  39. I drove up to the man who was in the middle of the the empty shopping mall parking lot this afternoon, on Christmas Day. Curious, I rolled down my window and asked him why he was standing there in the cold, wearing a burlap bikini, juggling pieces of what looked like Spam, and tapdancing in a bucket of lime Jell-O. He stopped for a moment, and with a squirrely gaze, he stared me down, smiled a snaggled, yellow-toothed grin and said, “It’s obvious,” and continued his tap-dancing.

  40. Obvious? I just got obvious. That’s obvious.

    Obviously.
