Another holiday season come and gone. Another round of post-holiday blues that I know will eventually cease but is still a pretty rough ride to tough out. And with the way things have been going, before I know it, I'll be in stores and saying holiday stuff already?
Considering how every little noise under the sun annoys me to the point of full blown aggravation, I've often wondered if I have misophonia. And one of the noises that annoys me is hearing people cough. And I just so happen to be lucky enough to work in a place where everyone and their fucking grandmother constantly coughs all day. Between that and the sound of people collating, along with many other things, I am going to go fucking crazy one day. And since New Year's Eve, I've had congestion, post-nasal drip, an irritated throat, and now an intermittent cough. Do you know what it's like to be the source of one of your own trigger noises? I'm absolutely getting on my own nerves hearing myself cough. And I can't even escape it.

Things That Annoy Me Part VIIII
That 70s Show theme song- I do love this show, but it has one of the most annoying theme songs in history
Kate Gosselin- I don't even watch the atrocious show (I might not like kids much, but I refuse to watch any show where people exploit their children), but I see enough clips on The Soup every Friday and somebody seriously needs to punch that bitch in the face. I have never seen a man so pussy whipped in my life as the husband. Not that I would like to see spousal abuse, but she totally has it coming to her if John just turned around and sucker punched her in the face. I think I would watch the show if that happened.
How Do I Look? guests- yeah, sometimes I watch this show. But the guests needing to be made over are annoying. Why do they even bother coming on the show if all their going to do is stand around and whine? But to be fair, I have only seen 2 episodes- the infamous Plum episode and an episode today with some recent high school graduate that liked to dress in the 80s.
The Real Housewives shows- who cares?
Bladders- it could just be me, but mine always seems to fill up at the most inconvient times: the middle of a movie, the moment I finally get down to the beach (which anyone who goes to Wildwood knows the beaches are about a hundred miles out), a long car ride with no close rest stop, right after jumping into a pool, right when I get into the bathtub. If I get in the shower, hell, I'll just go (I clean the tub afterwards!), but I obviously can't do that in a bath!
The Dixie Cup commercials- the ones where they sing "Good Morning". God, please shut up. And what is with the stupid dancing with the shoulders?
The Crystal Light commercials- also please shut up.
Death threats- we all know I am one of the last people to defend that stupid cow from California, but come on. Death threats? Save them. Write death threats first to our lovely bank CEOs that we gave bailout money to that are using the money for luxury spa trips and call girls instead of using it for what it was originally intended for (which frankly, I am not sure of what that is exactly, but I do know the words "luxury spa trips", "high class hookers", and "here you go CEOs and other executives, spoil yourselves until you give new meaning to the word "spoil"!" are not in there) and then spend your time writing death threats to the octomom.
That "Let's Go Racing, Boys" song at the end of NASCAR races- damn that Darrell Waltrip

Things That Annoy Me Part VIII
People who actually knew who Deee-Lite was and why try to compare other groups to them or other singers to Lady Miss Kier- there is never going to be another of either, so stop with the comparisons. There could never, ever be another Lady Miss Kier. It is completely impossible.
The term BFF- I thought I used to hate lylas (love you like a sis) in middle school. Of all the chat speak, this is the one that annoys me the most (after lolz or lols; how do you laugh out louds? if it's supposed to be laughs out loud, then the s should be after the first l), especially since now it is everywhere. Even in the stupid TV Guide, I see grown men and women writing articles and using the term. It's annoying enough when loud, way too peppy prepubescent girls use it; it's even more annoying when grown ups use it. Chances are, no one in the world will be your best friend forever.
Bad grammar- I let a grammarical error here and there slide and heaven knows I make them, usually either because I don't realize it or I am angry and typing at the same time and don't give a shit. But when I come across internet postings (usually written by prepubescent girls) where the grammar in a posting is so horrific that if I were to copy and paste it into Word and try to run a spell check, my computer would explode- that annoys me. What the hell are they teaching kids in school today? Do kids honestly hand in papers with text speak? If I had students hand me a paper that even contained one trace of text speak, I would automatically give them a zero.
People who talk with their mouths full- I can handle a little bit of food. But people like my dad who have their mouths completely full and talk- it's just gross. Shut up and chew your damn food.
When you are the next person in line and another register opens and the cashier says "I'll take the next person in line" and someone else runs over- Did they not say THE NEXT PERSON IN LINE? Not the last, not some random number....THE NEXT.
Parents who try to be their kids' best friends- you're the parent; act like it. You can still be a parent and be a friend as well. My mother and I are very close, but she still would think nothing of slapping me across the face if I back-talked to her. Discipline them and stop worrying that they are going to hate you because 1. they will get over it and 2. anyway you look at it, there is going to come a time where they hate you no matter what.

Things That Annoy Me Part VII
The term "Kool-Aid"- god, I am really starting to get sick of it. I have to wonder how many jerks who flood comment sections complaining about all of us that "drank the Obama Kool-Aid" are currently drinking the Sarah Palin Kool-Aid. Obama fans have nothing on this bitch's fans
Forwards- I can't believe these things even still exist. I think people are well aware by now that they will not die if they do not send the email out to 245,586,248 people in the next 5 seconds
That whole "why do hot dogs come in backs of 10 (or 6) blah blah blah"- I don't know about the rest of the world, but the hot dogs we buy come in packs of 8, as do our buns. And now I am going to go laugh for 20 minutes because I said "our buns".
TV Stations that play the same movies over and over again- which is most of them. If I have to see Spider-Man, Fantastic 4, A Cinderella Story, Bring It On (1 through 123), Drumline, Independence Day, I Robot, Wedding Crashers, Van Helsing, and about a hundred more movies that I can't think of right this second one more time, I am going to kill my television
Microsoft- somehow I think MS will be appearing quite often on this list. I have been hearing that Windows 7 is not that good and the more I read about Microsoft, the more I am starting to get convinced that maybe, just maybe, my next computer should be a Mac. But then I think of having to buy a new printer and all that and I get discouraged. I don't think I would have trouble learning OS X, but how would my current files work on it? There is software to run Windows on a Mac, but the computer will cost me enough as it is. I won't exactly be wanting to run out and drop another $70 on software. The main reason I look at Mac is for the obvious- security- but with my luck, I'd finally buy one and an abundance of Mac viruses will explode on the market, thus almost completely defeating my purpose of buying a Mac. Maybe I should just try Linux or something
Overprotective parents- you know what I am talking about. The ones that will hire babysitters or stick their brats in daycare, but no one is ever good enough to take care of their children. If the kid falls down and gets a bruise, they have a heart attack and scream that no one protected their little monster from the big cruel world. If the teacher tells them that their kid beat up every kid in the classroom, they'll freak out and scream about how there is no way that their precious little angel would do something like that, even if the kid is standing there among all the other kids and is the only one not crying and bruised. Now this doesn't apply to every parent out there, but since the parents I encountered at the daycare I worked at that were the most protective were mothers who didn't even need to be working, here is something....if no one is good enough take care of your bastard, stop being so fucking greedy and take care of the kid yourself. Stop worrying about what every Hollywood celebrity has and be a fucking parent. You CANNOT protect your child from every danger in the world. And yes, your child is quite capable of being a little bastard. Take it from a former TA- we would know; we spend more time with the kid than you do
Celebrities who spend every waking hour with another, say they are not dating, and then get married a few weeks later- please. Spare us the idiot act, Hollywood. America isn't that stupid. If you say "oh, we're just friends", we know you are not.
The human body- it pisses me off. No matter how good you take care of it, something can still go wrong. I do the full 2 minutes of teeth brushing twice a day, not to mention I have sealants, and still end up with cavities, yet most men I know never brush their teeth and never have cavities
The dramatic zooming in and blinking of the eye on medical mystery shows like Mystery Diagnosis- what is the point of it?
People who slurp food or make any kind of noise while eating- there is not much in the world that annoys me than this, especially when there is no reason to do it. I know people do it with spaghetti and hot soup and that makes me stabby enough, but practically everyone in my family is notorious for it and they will do it with cereal, warm soup, fruit cups, and god knows what else. And they wonder why I hate eating dinner with them. I can't even see the word "slurp" without wanting to go into a homicidal rage. It's nasty.
Moron celebrities who open their mouth and use derogaroty terms, and then play the victim card by saying they didn't mean what they said- It's not what they say that annoys me; it's how they stand there and say they didn't mean it. You either did or you're just stupid. Stop lying. If you hate a particular group, just say it already. Don't stand there and call someone the N word or related term and then say you didn't mean it because there had to have been some reason you decided to use it. No tolerant person will just use words like that.
The song "I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor- I liked it the first school dance I went to. And then it started to play at the next one. And the one after that. And then every wedding I went to. And then I started to hear it in every movie where a break-up occurs. Enough is enough. It is first on my list of songs that are NOT ALLOWED to be played at my wedding.
The octuplet mother- I can't even look at her without wanting to punch her in her ridiculous looking lipped face. DYFS, make yourself fucking useful for once. I can't believe this bitch wants to be a counselor. Bitch shouldn't be anywhere near psychiatric facilities, unless she is a patient.
Vermont Teddy Bears- really? People actually will spend like $90 for a frigging teddy bear? Please. Just save the money and buy me a nice piece of jewelry for under a $100. It can be found.

Kiss My Ass, Nipple Nazis
I have mentioned this before and for some unknown reason today, it has been eating at me.
Radical breast feeders. What the fuck is the deal with them? I just cannot fathom the attitudes of them. I cannot believe that not only are there bitches out there who want hospitals to stop giving out formula, but there are ones who want formula to be done away with all together and made prescription only and then only available to people who absolutely cannot breastfeed.
What is the definition of one who absolutely cannot breastfeed anyway? A woman who has had a masectomy? I suppose in the eyes of these dumbasses, a woman on medication is not an exception to breastfeeding. Yeah, because we should force women whose lives are pretty much sustained from their medication to go off of it because a group of nazi breast feeders want to tell us all what to do with our bodies and children. I guess the woman whose life is made semi-normal by being on lithium or some type of antipsychotic should be taken off of it. Whatever.
Gee, I wonder how many of these women are pro-choice.
So my message to La Leche League and any other breast-feeding "it should be the only way" promoting group of assholes....I don't care if you want to promote breast feeding, but knock off the fucking nazi and "I'm so superior because I breastfeed" behavior and let us women decide how we want to take care of our children. If I choose to not breastfeed my child (which I will not), that is my decision and I would appreciate you keeping your nose out of my fucking business. Come up to me while I am bottle feeding a baby and bitch me out and I will knock you so hard on your ass, you won't know what hit you. Show me all the evidence you want of how much healthier breast feeding is and I will take the evidence and shove it up your ass. I don't believe any of it anyway.
And don't give me the crap that we are given breasts and nipples for a reason because, as I do recall, men have breasts (technically) and nipples as well. People are given brains, but that doesn't mean they always use them.

Things That Annoy Me Part VI
The plane crash with Travis Barker and DJ Am- I thought it was a sad situation, especially for the people who died. Then I heard that DJ Am was not only going to sue multiple companies, but the estates of the pilots and I think that is a lot of shit. Then I was going through some old People magazines last night and there was an article in one about the crash and it showed a picture of one of the pilot's wives and sixteen year old daughter and the blurb underneath stated how hard they, especially the daughter, were taking the accident and it just filled me with rage. These people are devastated over the loss of their loved one and he is actually going to have the balls to fucking sue them? They had nothing to do with the crash! His medical bills are probably through the roof, but he it is not like he is exactly hurting for money and suing the companies is probably enough. It sounds like the pilots made a good decision to me. Hey genius, if they had taken off, how would have they landed with a blown tire? Dumbass.
The show I saw a commercial for about really obese people who are at their wits end- One lady was saying that if it wasn't a sin, she would commit suicide and I felt like screaming. A lady who probably shoves down several pounds of food a day down her throat while people are starving is sitting there on her 400 to 500 pound ass saying suicide is a sin? Lady, gluttony is a sin, too.
Kidz Bop- ignoring the whole "kidz" instead of "kids" thing....I don't know who told these kids they can sing, but they should be taken out back and shot. Most music today is annoying as is. Adding kids to it is like rubbing salt into a stage three bedsore.
Celebrities who get things for free- they can afford it with no problem. Look at the money spent on the giftbags at the Oscars and stuff. Why not use that money to help, oh, I don't know, the people that keep the entertainment industry alive?
Dog movies that play that stupid "bow wow wow yippie yo yippie yay"- basically that is all of them
Discovery Health- I love this channel and am going to be sad when Oprah takes it over (isn't she worth enough money?), but the thing that annoys me out it is like 90 to 95% of the shows on it cover two things- babies or extremely obese people
Windows Updates- they slow down my computer and often have that annoying pop-up where you either have to restart your computer now or it will automatically restart in 5 minutes
Unprotected electronics- people leave their iPods as is and then stick them in their pockets and break them and then they expect Apple to pay for repairs. Use a cover! I saw a guy at the DMV one day walking around with a several thousand dollar Apple laptop under his arm. No case or anything. Besides the fact that he was a walking target for muggers, why in God's name would you carry around an expensive laptop like that with no protection? Are you fucking stupid?
People who leave expensive things in unlocked cars- Over the summer, there was a rash of break-ins in a Medford neighborhood and people who had left their cars unlocked had also left expensive laptops and jewelry and whatever in their cars. And then were surprised when they were stolen. First off, regardless of whether your car is locked or unlocked, WHY would you leave that kind of a stuff in a car? Do you know how many times I have walked by cars and see laptops or handbags just sitting there, clear as day? These people don't even make an effort to hide them. And second, how can you be that trustworthy in life to leave your car unlocked? Now I am a bit paranoid, but I still would never leave my car unlocked, no matter how safe I feel.
TV show cops- can any of them ever have a normal childhood? I know it's a stressful job, bu can any of them ever have a half-decent temper? They all seem to fly off the hand so quickly. Can a female cop ever just be tough and not be a complete frigid bitch and can the male cops ever just not be horny bastards? And can't one woman cop (or CSI) go without having her tits hanging out all over the place?
Grown up girls who call their fathers "daddy"- it just creeps me out. A little too "electra complex".
Family members who favor first born children- one of the things in life that irritates me the most. My father's side of the family is NOTORIOUS for this. Gee, I am sorry for being born last because, you know, I had so much say in when I was born.

Family members who favor first born children- one of the things in life that irritates me the most. My father's side of the family is NOTORIOUS for this. Gee, I am sorry for being born last because, you know, I had so much say in when I was born.

Things That Annoy Me Part V
Certain movie franchises- Beethoven, Air/Hockey/Whatever Bud, American Pie, Final Destination, The Land Before Time, Dr. Doolitte, etc....enough is enough already
Weight loss supplement commercials- Hydroxycut, etc. You will not lose weight taking these drugs without changing your lifestyle and if they tell you so, it's a lie. You will not lose weight while still consuming 9,546 calories a day and sitting on your ass. You will not get a ripped body like Mr. Hydroxycut Joe "I've Been A Resident For 10 years".
Mariah Carey- once upon a time, she had a voice. And now she just wastes it. Mariah, you have a fucking eight octave range voice; use it! And get rid of the over-inflated diva attitude also. You have a great voice, but you did not cure cancer, so get over yourself already.
Pro-anorexia/bulimia webpages- what the hell is wrong with these people? It's one thing to be sick yourself, but why on God's good earth would you encourage other people to be sick fucks like yourselves? It's sick, man!
The term "white non-Hispanic"- what is the purpose of it? If you are white, you are obviously not Hispanic, so why waste space writing that?
Joe Francis- the whole Girls Gone Wild shit makes me want to tear someone's eyeballs out, but Joe Francis really grates my nerves. He is not even attractive. He looks like someone that would have been shoved into a locker in high school. Do you know what my mother would do to me if she saw me on one of those videos? I wouldn't be able to sit or walk for a year.
Programming in BASIC- this was one of the last classes I took in college. And it was the most frustrating class I have ever taken. It was easy in the beginning, but later on, it got extremely difficult. My teacher was no help. How I ever passed with a B+ is nothing short of a miracle.
"What A Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong- actually, I like the song. A lot. But it annoys me because I could be in the best mood in the world and if it comes on, I start to cry. It's one of the few songs out there that can actually, without fail, make me cry every single time I hear it. Whenever the episode of Home Improvement comes on when they think Randy is sick and they play it at the end while showing clips of him as a baby and a little kid, I bawl. "Unchained Melody" by the Righteous Brothers is another.
The commentors on Vh-1- most of them are funny. But after a few times of watching the "Groove Is In The Heart" segment on 100 Greatest Hits of 90's, I came to the conclusion that none of the commentors could have been fans of Deee-Lite because if they had been, they would have talked about more than just the dancing and the video imagery. Hardly much mention of the group themselves. And along with the 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders, why is it the only other video they show is "Good Beat"? They had three other videos!
The oil industry- I am getting sick of their shit. Gas prices [supposedly] rose because we were using too much, so we scale back on use, they scale back on production, and gas prices rise due to the scaling back of production. We can't win. No matter what we do, the bastards find some pittance of an excuse to raise it. And the Saudi Arabians and other oil drillers are probably laughing hysterically. They have us in the palm of their hands. Sure, we can drill here, but the question still remains- are we, as in Americans, going to get the oil that we drill?

Movies Theaters
This was initially going under the Things That Annoy Me list, but I realized there is so much to complain about, it needed it's own entry.
Movies are ridiculously expensive nowadays. You practically have to take out a small mortgage just to buy a ticket. It's so absurd. And the price of drinks and popcorn is unbelievable. The theater I go to charges $4.75 for a soda, although at least they finally started giving a free refill on large sodas. But still- I can get the same size soda at Wawa for $1.27. I can buy a 2 liter bottle of diet Coke for about $1.25, more or less depending on what store you go to.
There also seems to be an overabundance of certain people who seem to be genetically unable to shut the fuck up. Maybe you do not care that you spent $10 to go to a movie and not even watch it, but I do. We went to the movies on New Years Eve to see Marley and Me and there were these two fat ghetto bitches and a little boy there and none of them shut up the entire movie. The real fat one left her phone on and it kept ringing and she kept answering it and she kept talking loud and finally towards the end of the movie, a man got up and went over to talk to them and they abruptly left the theater, but not without the real fat one telling the man to suck her dick, which aside from the fact that she doesn't have one, was completely inappropirate considering 1) she was the one at fault and 2) she had a little boy with her. I hate people sometimes. I really do. And this is not something that happens once in a while; it is EVERY SINGLE TIME I go.
And I am not going to stand up and say anything. If you saw some of the scary clientele that come to my theater, you wouldn't want to say anything, either.
The other way people can ruin the movies is when they bring babies and small children. If you can't find a babysitter, don't come the movies. It's as simple as that. Find something else to do. Babies are not going to have any inkling of what goes on anyway and children are too rambunctious due to severe lack of discipline to sit still and watch a movie. If you want to bring your screaming baby or child, fine, then you can pay for my ticket. It especially grates my nerves when a baby is brought to a late night horror or R-rated movie.
These things are especially irritating since the quality of movies has gone downhill so bad. Even movies that look and sound really good end up sucking when you actually see them.

Things That Annoy Me Part IV
Donna from That 70's Show- she was supposedly this die hard feminist yet never thought twice of using her tits to get anything
People who abuse animals- PETA needs to quit harrassing rich women and start throwing paint buckets at some of the assholes that appear on Animal Cops and Animal Precinct. If anyone is deserving of a bucket of paint to the face, it's these low life pieces of scum. Go through some flour or paint on Michael Vick. Better yet, put him in a yard full of rabid hungry pitbulls.
Radical breast feeders- mothers are bitching about Facebook banning photos of nursing babies now. Give me a fucking break. Some nursing mothers really get on my nerves. Why do you need to post a picture of yourself nursing or why do you have to whip out your boob in the middle of a crowded place? I thought nursing is supposed to be a private, bonding thing. People who believe nursing is better than bottle feeding are idiots anyway. I don't care if all the "scientific evidence" shows it is because if it is, explain to me why almost every kid I come into existance with has been breastfed and has horrible allergies and asthma and stomach problems and all that. There are women out there who believe that hospitals should do away with formula to encourage (e.g., force) women to breastfeed their babies. Just like with abortion, please do not make a decision for me. If I choose to not want to breastfed, that is my decision. As for women who do it to lose weight quicker- when you breastfeed, you need to eat more so both of you get adequate nutrition!
Commercials- I hate 99% of them. Especially that stupid one for Pillsbury where everyone clicks their heels. I like the Wizard of Oz, but why oh why can some movie references just not ever die? And some they just play over and over again. One time the one for freecreditreport.com came on when he is singing about being a pirate in this restauraunt and unknowingly I started to sing along with it and I knew it word for word. I hear it so much I actually subconsciously memorized the words to it. That is bad. I also hate the multigrain Cheerios one, the IKEA sale one, the rollover minutes one, and the Suave ones with the opera singing.
People who text and talk on the phone while driving- don't give me the bullshit that oh you're just good at multi-tasking. I am the queen of multi-tasking and I still will not text and/or talk on the phone while driving. Why? Because I am not about to kill someone because I feel the rules of the road do not apply to me.
Overrated songs- songs like "Don't Stop Believing" and "Living On A Prayer. I have nothing against Bon Jovi or Journey- I do like Journey a lot- but....god, I especially hate "Living On A Prayer".
Myspace!- Once again, another Deee-Lite fan page I was friends with has been deleted and now Project Playlist cannot be used on the site anymore. But the RIAA is to be blamed for the last one. I hate the RIAA. After Disney and religion, I never known an empire I would like to see crumble more than the RIAA.
Jim Carrey- seriously. Hang it up already. I thought Ace Ventura was hilarious once upon a time until I realized you use the same brand of humor in almost every single movie you appear in.
Actors who once did really vile comedy and now do stupid kid comedies
Metrosexuals- I could never date a man who cares more about his appearence than I care about mine
Stores like Hollister and Abercrombie- and the best part? One of my local malls is getting the largest Hollister store in America! Yay! Actually, most stores get on my nerves, but these ones take the cake.
The bratty more than likely teenagers who leave stupid comments on AOL's fashion page stating who are they tell them what to wear and what is good fashion- um, if you never like what they have to say, why do you read it?
People who use the excuse of jealousy when someone dislikes another- it's an excuse created for lazy people who cannot think of a good excuse. I dislike most music artists today because they all suck and good talented people are passed over for shits like them. Where is the justice in how quick it took to give Paris Hilton a record deal and how it took Deee-Lite several years to get one?
Israel and Palestine and every other country in the Middle East- Enough already. Find something better to do with your time than to constantly fight with each other.
People who abuse animals- PETA needs to quit harrassing rich women and start throwing paint buckets at some of the assholes that appear on Animal Cops and Animal Precinct.

Things That Annoy Me Part III
Adding "-gate" or "malfunction" to the end of everything
Heely shoes- I want to stick my foot out and trip every little monster I see skating around busy stores on them. And then I will laugh hysterically.
Little girls who put on tons of make-up and dress all grown up and then throw childish tearful tantrums when they can't get a toy- wow, you look really grown up now, don't you?
People who ask me what I am going to school for- if one more person tells me "why don't you become a nurse like your sister?" I am going to tear my hair out. If I wanted to be a nurse, I would be in nursing school.
Snow- I liked it when I was little. Now that I am older and have to venture out in it, I hate it. Especially since the last time I drove in snow, I was doing about -6 miles an hour and I still almost managed to spin out.
People who tell me that you do not have to be concerned if you do not go to the bathroom every day to- I know that. But if it is a week and half or more, I think I am perfectly legitimate in being concerned.
People who, during the election, wore pins or posted signs that said "I am voting for the chick"- Palin was not the running candidate. Gee, I can just imagine the reactions of Rush Limbaugh or Faux Noise if people wore pins or posted signs that said, "I am voting for the Gaffe Machine" or if they had done the same thing if Hillary had been the Democrat Vice Presidential candidate. Rush Limbaugh probably would have screamed and ranted and raved until his big fat head exploded (praise Jebus) and Faux Noise probably would have talked about it for most of the election season.
People who complained that being a community organizer isn't experience- neither is being "just like us" and a mother
Restaurants that do not offer free refills or even one free refill
Text messaging charges- I constantly receive spam text messages. And my phone bill is higher because T-Mobile charges for every incoming text messages. I can understand charging for outgoing texts, but why should I have to pay for text messages I didn't ask for?
Amateur DJs- Shit, I am sick of seeing good ones get passed over. Who do these people think they are? Honestly. Sam Ronson demands $25,000 a session? Give me a break. I don't even think Lady Miss Kier demands that much (I heard something like $2,000 or so) and she is more longer well-known, more well liked, actually earned her fame, and worked with 2 DJs for several years. Now I have heard in the beginning she was supposedly not very good, but I am sure she is better than these douchebags. I bet Dmitry or Towa Tei don't even demand that much and they have been DJs for a million years.
The new "fauxmosexual" craze- yes, let's give the religious right more ammunition in believing that sexuality is a choice, thanks to cunts like Tila Tequila, Hohan, and the Ikki twins
Stupid lawyers and stupid lawsuits- I don't know how to elaborate on this anymore. America is getting out of hand with stupid lawsuits. Should I sue my brain for causing me emotional distress, my metabolism for not being faster, and a host of other things? Should MS patients sue their immune systems for attacking their nervous system and causing blindness, paralysis, deafness, etc? Should kids with muscular dystrophy sue their parents for giving them the MD gene? Should cancer patients sue their own bodies for mass producing hazardous cells? It's all so absurd. I especially hate the fat asses that eat McRat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, have a heart attack, and then sue McRat. It's your fault for allowing yourself to get so fat!
The terms "preggo" and "preggars"- it's pregnant for Pete's sake!
And lastly....Lord knows I despise Sarah Palin, but I swear, if I have to go to one more site and see someone say "you betcha!", "gotcha", or "by golly!", I am seriously going to rip that person's endocrine system out. Yes, I have been watching too much The Soup.

Things That Annoy Me Part II
The names women call their breasts- whether it be actual names or terms like "the girls" or "ta-ta's" or "twins" or god only knows what other terms exist....they are breasts. Or boobs. Every time I see the bumper sticker for Breast Cancer Awareness that says "Save the ta-ta's", I want to scratch someone's eyeballs out. Aside from my giant beef with the whole pink/ Susan G. Komen/breast cancer awareness crap, it's incredibly tacky and extremely classless.
My weight- I am sick of battling with it. I have the exercise part down; I just need to get the eating healthy part going. I'm also sick of people looking at me and saying how slim I am. I am 158 pounds. That is not slim. Far, far from it.
Weight loss "celebrities"- you know. The ones in People and shit that are normal people and they lose weight. And they lie out their asses. I just saw one recently with a lady who is 5'3 and 176 pounds and says she wears a size 12. Who is she fucking kidding? A size 12? At 176 pounds? I don't think so. No friggin way. I wore a size 12 at 150 pounds.
Ugg boots- they are especially horrendous when they are worn over sweatpants or velour pants
Pants with writing across the back-end
MTV- Your name is Music Television. Where is the music? This goes for you as well, Vh-1. Either play music again or change your name to RBRStv (rich brat reality shows).
My hair- I have a crooked hair line and it is impossible to straighten. The only thing that straightens it is an actual clothes iron. Today I managed to get it straightened, but in turn, the ends flipped out like crazy. Think Lady Miss Kier in the beginning. No, I did not do it on purpose.
McDonald's- I thought it was supposed to be cheap. I ordered a Southern Style chicken sandwhich the other day and the friggin thing cost me almost $4. And the chicken didn't even cover the entire bun! Plus, anymore when I go, no matter what one I go to, the fries are salted like it's salt's last day on earth. I don't even work nor have I ever worked for McDonald's and I know that fries are supposed to be salted in a triple arch pattern.
The economy- all of the stores going out of business and all of the people being laid off....it's depressing the hell out of me. I went out to compare 3 desks tonight that I am looking at and I found out that the National Wholesale Liquidators near me is closing. Yeah, it's kind of a creepy store, but it depressed the hell out of me to see it closing. I always kind of liked going there.
Technical schools- they are supposed to be an alternative to college and yet the cost a fortune to attend. I looked at ones in my area and how much for the medical assistant programs and most ran, at the very least, $10,000. Yeah, I am going to pay $10,000 so I can maybe make a little over double that when I come out. The hell with that. And god forbid should you request one simple piece of information from a school. Then they will harass you at least once a day with phone calls.
Credit card debt collectors- they are absurd with their phone calls. We have ones calling for my father that call 6 or more times a day. I wish I knew more about the law because I would love to know how many of these DCs are breaking the law. My father has already been threatened with jail, so there is one law broken. They have called my next-door neighbor repeatedly, even after my mother screamed at them to not call her. I strongly dislike most lawyers and the legal system, but there are times I wish I was one or knew one.
Movies that fall into the following category- movies where a teen that is supposed to be a geek a nd falls in love with the most popular guy in school and trips and falls in front of him every time she sees him and then finally wins him in the end, football movies, comedians that once did really vile comedy and now do stupid family movies, talking animal movies, movies where kids become spies or agents of some sort, movies where ghetto hoodlum kids wake up one morning and decide to become dancers and that takes them out of the ghetto life....none of these storylines I would be bitching about if they have not been done over and over and over and....you get the point
My foot- which just stepped on my purse and cracked 3 of my Deee-Lite CD cases
My weight- I am sick of battling with it. I have the exercise part down; I just need to get the eating healthy part going. I'm also sick of people looking at me and saying how slim I am. I am 158 pounds. That is not slim. Far, far from it.

MTV- Your name is Music Television. Where is the music? This goes for you as well, Vh-1. Either play music again or change your name to RBRStv (rich brat reality shows).
My hair- I have a crooked hair line and it is impossible to straighten. The only thing that straightens it is an actual clothes iron. Today I managed to get it straightened, but in turn, the ends flipped out like crazy. Think Lady Miss Kier in the beginning. No, I did not do it on purpose.
McDonald's- I thought it was supposed to be cheap. I ordered a Southern Style chicken sandwhich the other day and the friggin thing cost me almost $4. And the chicken didn't even cover the entire bun! Plus, anymore when I go, no matter what one I go to, the fries are salted like it's salt's last day on earth. I don't even work nor have I ever worked for McDonald's and I know that fries are supposed to be salted in a triple arch pattern.
The economy- all of the stores going out of business and all of the people being laid off....it's depressing the hell out of me. I went out to compare 3 desks tonight that I am looking at and I found out that the National Wholesale Liquidators near me is closing. Yeah, it's kind of a creepy store, but it depressed the hell out of me to see it closing. I always kind of liked going there.
Technical schools- they are supposed to be an alternative to college and yet the cost a fortune to attend. I looked at ones in my area and how much for the medical assistant programs and most ran, at the very least, $10,000. Yeah, I am going to pay $10,000 so I can maybe make a little over double that when I come out. The hell with that. And god forbid should you request one simple piece of information from a school. Then they will harass you at least once a day with phone calls.
Credit card debt collectors- they are absurd with their phone calls. We have ones calling for my father that call 6 or more times a day. I wish I knew more about the law because I would love to know how many of these DCs are breaking the law. My father has already been threatened with jail, so there is one law broken. They have called my next-door neighbor repeatedly, even after my mother screamed at them to not call her. I strongly dislike most lawyers and the legal system, but there are times I wish I was one or knew one.
Movies that fall into the following category- movies where a teen that is supposed to be a geek a nd falls in love with the most popular guy in school and trips and falls in front of him every time she sees him and then finally wins him in the end, football movies, comedians that once did really vile comedy and now do stupid family movies, talking animal movies, movies where kids become spies or agents of some sort, movies where ghetto hoodlum kids wake up one morning and decide to become dancers and that takes them out of the ghetto life....none of these storylines I would be bitching about if they have not been done over and over and over and....you get the point
My foot- which just stepped on my purse and cracked 3 of my Deee-Lite CD cases

Things That Annoy Me
Computer forums- I guess I shouldn't get angry with people who do not know me, but I do. Why must every time I post on a computer help forum, someone has to respond with information that I ALREADY KNOW? I know to use anti-virus and anti-spyware! I know that hard drives are going to fail eventually! I know all this! What, do I have to explicitly state in my fucking posts that I know this shit already and to please not waste your time informing me of it? Just because I am asking for help on a computer forum does not mean I do not have an inkling of how a computer works!
The computer experts on these forums- these people are supposed to be computer experts and they know shit. They can never help me with anything. Or they start to and never finish. I had one guy on a forum tell me to test some kind of voltage on my computer. I wrote him back and told him I had no idea how to do that. His response? How can you learn if you don't try? I wanted to write back to him and ask him 1) if he is fucking kidding and 2) if he intends to send me a check for a new computer and for my medical bills or funeral when I get electrocuted.
Not being able to find a job- obviously, part of my problem in getting a job is due to the economy. My mom insists it's not, but I know damn well the other part is because I have been out of work so long. If HR folks take a look at my resume and see the last time I held a steady position was 2006 and then they just dump my resume into the trash, I say that is completely unfair. At least give me a chance to defend myself. What if the reason I was out of work was due to an accident and required a lengthy healing period? If I had been in a coma? They don't even give me a chance to explain.
Some job unions- look at my sister's union. They give nursing jobs based on seniority. Say you have 2 nurses applying for a job on the neurology floor. One has 20 years working for the hospital in, oh say, labor and delivery, and the other is applying from another hospital with 15 years working in neurotrauma. The former will get the job. Is that not the stupidest thing you have ever heard of? It's as stupid as how companies only hiring people with experience. You cannot get experience if no one will give it to you.
The eMachine computer I want- it's gorgeous. It's a skinny tower, but when I get it, I am going to spend a year cleaning off all of the included crap with it. Works and Office? I didn't even know Works still existed until I got the eMachine I currently have. Online photo printing? Google toolbar? Netzero? Earthlink? Norton? Wild Tangent? Isn't that spyware or something? I don't need all of that shit. Does it come with AOL as well?
Speaking of which....AOL- not only was their internet service the pits, their canceling process (which thankfully I haven't ever had to deal with, but I did have to cancel PeoplePC) is a nightmare and they have been sued multiple times over it, but the software itself is a cancer. I uninstalled it off of my computer a few months ago and despite using Search and 2 registry cleaners, I am still finding AOL files on my computer.
Extreme Makeover: Home Edition- Besides the fact that it is annoying as hell between Ty Pennington and the billions of time the phrase "oh my God!" is used and the fact that I am just evil and can't stand feel good crap shows like this, I don't get this show. If these people cannot afford to move to a new house, what makes you think they will be able to afford the taxes on a million square foot house. Look, I can see in helping to rebuild someone's house, but they are ridiculous. And yes, I know the word "extreme" should give me a clue, but they can still tear down a house, build a simple 1500 to 2500 square foot house and call it extreme. Whether or not the show pays the taxes on the house...well, they can't pay for them forever now can they?!
The vain of humans- people are now requesting plastic surgery for when they die and are laid out. Plastic surgery. When you are dead. Who gives a fuck if you have wrinkles or sagging tits? You're dead! Unless you are placed in a masoleum, you're going to be placed 6 feet into the ground and turn into a skeleton! You're going to fucking decay! Who cares what you look like? If you would like to know what else happens to you, read this!
"Accidental pregnancies"- there is no such thing as an accidental pregnancy. As long as you are having sex and are not sterile, you stand the chance of getting pregnant. No birth control is 100% effective.
Pregnant teenagers who refuse to have abortions, but then suffocate or drown their baby after delivering it- if you were that desperate to get rid of the thing, wouldn't it have made more sense to just go through with the abortion before, oh, I don't know, it was actually fully developed? But I guess it doesn't matter because it is not a fetus anymore. And don't give me shit that the religious right cares for all life because most don't. They only care about life before it is born. If they did care about all life, then they would be against the death penalty. I personally do not look at it this way, but if someone is very pro-life, then they should believe that no matter how horrid the crime, it is still a life that was created by God. Or there is always adoption!
The praise of Bristol Palin's baby- I see how it is. People like Sarah Palin condemned Britney's sister for having a child out of wedlock and the "failure of liberal morals" and all that mumbo jumbo, but when one of their own does it, oh, it's just fine and fucking dandy! It's a blessing and gift from God! Newsflash- no, it's not! Any way you look at it, it's still an illegitimate child! It's not any different than Jamie Lynn or the minority they condemn as well for having children out of wedlock!
Out of wedlock pregnancies- I myself don't exactly know why, since I am not a religious person by any means or anything like that, but I have a real beef with babies born out of wedlock (except in the cases of rape, a woman chooses to not get married but wants a baby, the couple has been together long enough to be considered married, and in the case of homosexuals). It's harsh, even I have to admit, but I find it very hard to be sympathetic to someone who has an unplanned pregnancy. I think the whole thing that bothers me is the irresponsibility and stupidity behind many of them.
Myspace users- I am no spring chicken, but I am not old. When did I miss the memo that stated that slutty behavior is going to glamorized? I feel like projectile vomiting every time I look on my friend's friends pages and all there is is picture after picture of girls with practically nothing on and with bottles of alcohol in their hands (guys do this as well) or implying that they are going to perform something dirty on the man in the picture with them or they are passed out drunk. Seriously- take a look- they are the future of America.
The computer experts on these forums- these people are supposed to be computer experts and they know shit. They can never help me with anything. Or they start to and never finish.

I Hate Clutter!
If I look through everything I own, I wouldn't say that I am terribly loaded down with junk. But it is enough to aggravate the hell out of me and- honest to God- keep me awake at night.
One, I have quite a few Beanie Babies that I am desperate to get rid of. I was initially going to send them to Beanies for Baghdad, but I am not paying to ship them out. So what the hell can I do with them? At this point, I am tempted to just donate them to a children's ward or something.
Two, I have a shit ton of collectible Barbies that I DO NOT WANT. I cannot even begin to tell you how many times over the past few Christmases, I said absolutely no Barbies. What did I get? A Barbie! I have no idea what to do with these damn dolls, but I do not want them and I am desperate to get rid of them. Even the ones I have that I like, I am mortified to ever let anyone see.
Right now, the only way I would EVER ask for another doll is if they made a doll of Lady Miss Kier. If it were up to me, I would just take all of the junk I have that I do not want and throw a bonfire. I may sound ungrateful, but I don't know what is so difficult in understanding that I do not want anything collectible unless I ask for it. I am the complete opposite of a hoarder. I really have severe problems with clutter; it makes me very anxious. And disorganization makes me anxious as well. When I am in a room that is a disorganized clutter mess, I want to tear my hair out. My aunt is the worst when it comes to it. Maybe she enjoys living in a bedroom with 2 feet of walk space because she has so much stupid shit, but I don't. I like to keep my inventory of belongings as simple as possible.
I have had a few pleasant surprises this week. I put on VH-1 Classic the other day and saw a show on called One Hit Wonders (not the 100 Greatest) and I immediately came back on the internet and found "Groove" was on the episode of Dance hits. FINALLY, I got to see the full length video of "Groove" on the TV. I have seen it on the internet and all that, but it's not the same.
I also got a surprise today when I woke up and came out to check my mail (snail mail, not email) and there was big cardboard envelope for me and I looked at the addresser and it was from the Greg Palast Investigation office. My copy of Steal Back Your Vote finally came. I had it written off that I was ever going to get it, so needless to say I was quite shocked to see it. And not only was that, but there were multiple copies; I'd say at least 10 or more. I feel bad, though; I don't need that many. I feel like I should send some back.
Ugh, why do I have Wedding Crashers on? That's right. I want to laugh at Old Man McAncient.

Leave Me The Hell Alone Already!
I just filled out a survey on Myspace and one of the questions was, do you want children? As I was filling it out, I could feel myself getting angry (I am in a hostile mood today). I have made the decision to not have children based on several reasons- 1) I am selfish as hell 2) I am irresponsible as hell and 3) I am scared of post-partum depression/psychosis. And I get a lot of flack from people for it. My family, extended family, people I meet, etc. Why is it their business anyway? What is the big fucking deal that I do not want to have children? God, you think some people would be thankful that I do not want to bring more of my genes into the world.
I am sick of hearing about people who said they never wanted children, but then changed their minds or how life-changing it is to have a child....I don't care!
The thing is, I wouldn't mind having a baby. I don't want kids, though.
