198 Entries for “practical”

  1. I can only put deodorant on once daily. I was taking I shower once and I got freshly applied deodorant on my fingers. After lathering the soap all over myself I realized the power of that blasted white stick I rub on my pits everyday to fill some social obligation. Deodorant is quite uncomfortable when rubbed in places that should naturally be wet…

  2. I have nothing to say about practical. Because, to put it simply, I don’t believe in practical. I mean, that’s the practical thing.

  3. She was never a very practical girl. She had always wanted everything she couldn’t have, everything that was bad for her. He was different, he was the good guy, the one that could make her happy.

  4. What does it even mean? Does it really apply to anything? Why am I being so vague? This isn’t very practical itself. I’m just failing to be insightful. At least I realize it. Now that’s practical.

  5. Being practical is important. you cannot have unrealistic expectations about life because life just throws all sorts of shit at you. like for real. you may think you have it all figured out but then bam a car crash and you’re an orphan or bam your stuff is stolen or bam you have an awful roommate. Life is shit. Best to be practical.

  6. Everyone always thinks that things have to be practical. I like the impractical. The funny, the weird, and the amazing. Being practical can be boring, but everyone does it. Practical is right and proper. Yet dull.

  7. I associate such a negative connotation with words like practical and sensible. Not that I have anything against the concepts or in being practical because that’s a positive thing, however it’s like those words carry the implied weight of requiring you to not pursue a dream or try for something odd or unusual… Thinking about it, that manner of thinking is rather impractical.

  8. A practical joke is rarely practical. It’s something ordinary, that you would expect to encounter in every day life. Such as practical magic.

  9. those funny messenger bags id say are pretty practical its kind of weird really i really like them but Id neverhad one before I always wanted the one with elmo or grouch or the nintendo controller on it god i hate myself sometimes im so fucking vain what is wrong with me? really, i just hate it all.

  10. Practical people are normal because they make sense…..but is there such a thing?

  11. practical jokes aren’t very practical at all. practical is something that you may think of in every day life… something that you expect. such as practical magic…

  13. being very realistic about the goals and actions are based on reality like time ,other elements that during the development of the process and the people who are practical do things and make things come true and work in real life but also have its own disadvantages like being too pratical can limit your ideas and creation and development cant be made in a innovative new way so that may limit the possibility of rapid development through unusual ways

  14. practicality. is that a word too? i guess that means what makes sense. what isn’t impossible. dreams aren’t what makes up practical things. reality is.

    i think practicality is boring. as is reality, but that’s different.

  16. Useful. You won’t have to think about it very much to find a use for. Not modern fashion. Solves a problem that appears alot. Like a tent.

  17. Practical vs. principle. I believe that moral decisions should be based on the desire for the most total human happiness. But I just bought a shirt with money that could have been spent buying food for starving people. Isn’t that going against principle.

  18. it’s practical for me to go to the place across the street and get a piece of pizza. But why would I want to be practical? I mean let’s be serious it’s a good idea for me to go toward that routine of convenience but I think I’ll stray the other way. I want to be difficult – besides, who isn’t up for a challenge? If it’s raining out do you think it’s a good idea to wear rain boots?

  19. It isn’t practical, for me to keep you in the back of my mind. Keeping any thought of you is like keeping a pair of sneakers I’ve run down so badly they mimic talking to strangers – at least their jabber is amusing.

  20. I’m not practical. Mama always said I was the frivolous one, the special one. Guess that’s why I never got anywhere. What she never told me was that practical was what I’d need to be in the ‘real world,’ outside our little farmhouse in Tennessee. Maybe mama wasn’t so practical either.

  21. practical, dues it comes down to theory and practical science is boring theory practical is fun theory makes sense blah blah blah this one sucks ill make up for it tomorrow

  22. Evelyn is always practical. My parents aren’t always. yet they claimed to be. I am more emotional than practical. Practicality is logical and I tend to veer from that. I do not know if I like practicality, but I am certain that I am grateful to those that are.

  23. There was a man called Tuesday ; the top of his hat held the remnants of a day of drinking. I must say, between the blackouts and between the ocassional grabbing of whores, he was a decent fellow. One would claim him a “hipster” but I believe terms like that are somewhat synonymous to a fool walking down a hill. His name, though

  24. Practicality is really overrated. (I say this as an English major who will probably starve to death so my opinion may not actually be valid.) Still, practical is kinda sorta a euphemism for boring. You have been warned.

  25. Sorry, I got distracted by that “m-my melt?” Subway commercial. “Practical.”

  26. The practical truth of the matter is I’ve fallen in love with Jay Danceeagle, and I cannot get him off my mind. But I realize he is just another fantasy of something that will never happen, and I need to let go.

  27. a practical forum has grown from grassroot communities.
    communication was key when we all turned our backs to the earth
    so we can shoot to the stars on the trunks of trees.

    it was necessary
    utility was key.

  28. Practical. I’m not sure that’s a word anyone would use to describe me. In some ways it fits, in others it doesn’t. I’ve always been the adventurous, airy type instead of the down-to-earth practical type, but now considering sustainable living, I will be somewhat more outlandish and somewhat more practical as well.

  29. Practical is a word that makes me feel gay. I think this word would molest me if it ever had the chance. I often try to stay away from words like these, but I just can’t seem to shake the scent that these demons crave oh so badly. In my next life, I hope these type of words won’t exist.

  30. practical is such an unpractical word. its lazy, and such a slumped form of trying to get some thing to act ‘right’ but its just stupid. plus, no one should have to act practical. it would be unfair to everyone.

  31. It was such a practical way that he looked at things that it disturbed her sometimes. Her own son, had no emotions whatsoever. He acted as if the world could only be seen in a logical, chronological manner. Nothing else was involved. He acted as if he had no… emotions. But that was impossible, right? I mean, we all make mistakes, we all have times when we follow what our heart. He never seemed to, and when they argued over things, he always seemed to get confused how such emotions like anger got over her. Where could she go for help?

  32. Practical. You always told me that I needed to be more practical. I hated that word. I hated the way you spat it at me. I will never change my ways, and I will never be practical.

  33. Useful things often are, but people prefer pretty.

  34. Practically speaking I cannot speak on the subject. Don’t mill about waiting for any discourse. You will be left as such an unfulfilled one. Prithee, march yourself on over to another place wherein they may discuss.

  35. It wasn’t practical; it was his worse nightmare, theoretical. Why did Chemistry have to come in two parts? Why couldn’t he just titrate his solutions and hand in his findings? Why did he have to know beforehand how many drops it would take? Wasn’t that the point of the lab?

  36. you say ya gotta live it up but you play by the rules of practical application.you say you’re gonna go for it but you always wait to see if it will ever come to you.you say live wild be free but you are so cemented in your thinking that your mask is not a mask but rather an extension of whom you really are.you claim to be an atheist but your ritual praying on your knees isn’t any less because you wink and smoke cigars.hypocrite.holy women.you wouldn’t know how to really live life if it wasn’t for your catholic suffering of throwing ashes on your head and wearing sackcloth made for coffee beans

  37. what is a practical invention? i’d say the couch. you can sit on it. you can sleep on it. you can have sex on it. we basically need this or else we’re all screwed. trust me people, couches are the

  38. . . . didn’t really exist. There was no such thing. Convenience was such a thing, conventional, but in the end, the only that mattered was how much sex you had. You try to make it count, to make it mean something, but really – it all comes down to fucking.

  39. I’m very practical. I think things through. I have a tendency to over analyze things, especially in relationships. I try to determine whether being involved with a certain person is practical or not. So instead of just having fun and going with it, I stress out about whether a person will help or hinder me.

  40. she took the beans off of the shelf and sighed quietly. Buying canned foods was something she had always hated. The bland taste of the food sucked all of the enjoyment out of eating it. It was a small sacrifice, one that was quite practical.
