  1. Ha. Does it even exsist I love the idea of being practical but its just not practical to be practical to get something or anything done you have to be the outlier of everything that is practical. always sharpening your skills to be more than just practical. To be Practical is, in a way, to be close minded.

  4. i am never practical. I live frivously. i know how much money I need to survive. And I spend it. Mostly on the weed I want to smoke with you. It’s my only access and I’m afraid it’s the only thing you think I’m good at. The most impractical thing that is for sure. I’m only good at that, and it’s starting to sink in that the relationship we can have will be nothing other than that. I am that undeniable link to a world you only become part of when we’re together.

  5. Engineering is supposed to be practical, training you to do things that are actually useful in real life. What did NE teach me then? Well, I was able to put together a set of drawers today, by myself too. That was quite a feat, with 2038904283094 parts that came dissembled. Maybe engineering did train me to be somewhat practical.

  6. some one who is serious and kind of smart.

    I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE THIS SIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  7. Practical; she placed the tea cup that was filled to the brim and overflowing on top of a sponge, that she quickly retrieved from the corner of her eye. She swiveled the cup into semi-circles, as if she were reading the future in to each rotation. She then raised the cup to her lips and allowed the herbal remedy resolve her immediate anxieties.

  10. Being practical means not to pretend you’re something when you’re not, and no matter who you come across, you don’t change who you are and stay true to you. Live up to YOUR standards. Not someone elses

  11. Very few things can be practical and fun at the same time and she always opted for practical saving fun for whatever moments might be left over at the end of the day, the week, the month, the year, her life. When you added them together, well, it just wasn’t practical.

  12. ‘There is a list of things that need to get done,’
    she said, pointing over at the faux marble countertop.
    ‘The dishes, the laundry, we need a new trash can, some cooking oil, lysol, a list of other cleaning chemicals,’
    she looked at the new cabinets full of pyrex dishes.
    ‘But they really are irrelevant,’
    she said, pointing at the linoleum floor.
    ‘Because,’ she said, ‘the most important thing that needs to get done,’
    she said, glancing at the crown molding, the articulate door, the big windows and the lush green carpet,
    ‘is the ceiling is missing. You’ve blown it right off.’

  13. I am a practical person typically I investigate what I need to to help with my education. Sometimes when I am typing I make mistakes but then I can go back and correct the mistakes. Grammar is difficult. I am happy for grammar and spell check.

  14. Doing something that is reasonable for a reason. My sister is not practical when it comes to looking for jobs. She wants everything to be perfect – high pay, great location, moving expenses paid for – but she is not practical. It pays to live in reality and not in a dream world. Things work out better. You can be employed. And have an income.

  15. it’s hard to read literature with a degree from phoenix university.

  16. Always have everything with me. If my back didn’t complain I would carry my whole house! I should be a snail…But that wouldn’t be so practical…

  17. it can’t be practical if it’s going based on what you feel. just because following your heart isn’t the most practical thing to do doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t do it. it something to live for, practical isn’t always the best option to go with.

  18. Oh, that’s the word I’m meant to be writing on? I’ve never been a practical person (or typist). I’ve always been flamboyant, ostentatious, utterly theatrical. I never do things the easy way, often because I don’t see the easy way. I only see the show, and I partake.

  19. Why does everything have to be practical. How is it practical to lie in the sun, stretched out like a beach blanked? How is it practical to drink a rich glass of red wine while staring into a fire. How is it practical to curl next to the love of your life and wish the moment never had to end.

  20. I would consider myself to be a practical person. I am a realist. I have a good head on my shoulders…most of the time. I think what it means to be practical is to take what you’re handed and make the best of it, without delusions of grandeur or unrealistic expectations; not necessarily pessimistic, but simply able to adapt and thrive no matter what. Some would say that means you have to see the world through “glass-half empty” glasses or abandon hope. I disagree.

  21. practicality is what is lacking in this world. Everyone just over thinks things and doesn’t see the simple ways of doing them.

    on the other hand, sometimes being practical isn’t doing what will give you the most memories.

  23. Some people would call me cold. I would call them irrational. What I do is not heartless, the measures I take don’t make me less of a person, maybe a better human. The things I do are logical, I can rationalize my every action and analyze my past actions. At least, this knowledge helps me sleep at night.

  24. There was no practical reason for me to fear this chart. It seemed to give place names, but instead of being configured like a typical map, it was organized like a flow chart.

  25. I slipped through the messy tumble of haphazardly set up tents, trying not to trip over any tent spikes. There was nothing out of the ordinary with the camp…at first glance. Sarix and Axel bickering, as the two are wont to do, and the rest laughing or drinking…but something in the back of my mind said something was off….something was too practical for our silly family.

  26. I don’t think everything can be only practical. THere is a down side to everything. Sure, being tall is parctical, but then you let something fall under the fridge and you just can’t see it because you are so tall that even crouching isn’t enough.

  27. why? why be practical?
    to be practical is to be a slave to what they want.
    the dreamer’s life is so much more freeing.
    instead of being practical, i’d like to be fantastical. i’d like to watch my actions transform the world into a tie dyed paradise.

  28. is this the way my life is going to end. One could not begin to realize how unimportant you are until now. anyone want to know why?

  29. Practical is what I have become. Isn’t that what all Mom’s become? Mom’s who think about their kids, their life, etc. Practical. I do have a non-practical wild side too. At Night in bed, with my husband.

  30. It’s not practical to cry about things one has no control over, it is true… I tell myself that, anyway. But I’ve never been a logical creature, and that’s why I cry. Because for all my creativity, I can’t heal the hurt done to logical people. And I don’t understand why that is, and why the logical people accept that. That shouldn’t be practical at all.

  31. What fun is it to be practical? Sometimes being practicality brings worry. And I’m not much for worrying. At least not lately. I’ve always been a dreamer. Practical? Maybe we all would benefit from being a little more practical … or maybe I’ll just keep dreaming.

  32. do you want to know what i did today that was practical? i deleted my existence. i removed any evidence of my life on the internet. well obviously not completely because i am leaving a carbon foot print on the world wide web as we speak. is it practical to think of the future so much that you forget about the present?

    by Andres on 12.03.2010
  39. I can help you if you want. If I can help you, please tell me.
    I just want to help somebody.

    Why do you close your heart?

    I can be practical… I guess.
    Or I’m in the world doing nothing?

    I’m so confused…
    Bye?

  40. Wearing high-heels in the forest wasn’t practical. It wasn’t elegant, or pretty, or charming, or seductive. It was condemning, it was desperation, it was survival. Crunching leaves and tripping legs, strangle cries and stumbling steps. It wasn’t practical. It was survival.
