Some Things I Love:
- Halloween is OVER, therefore the hideous inflatable lawn pumpkins and large animated & blinking carriage containing skeletons (oh, I'm not even remotely lying) will finally be put to rest in our neighborhood. I knew there was a benefit to me not running much outdoors the past month. I mean, other than the not having to get up.
- Fish Tacos. Are you KIDDING me with this rainbow of taste explosion? Sadly, the best I've ever had are from Chevy's. I've tried the ones at Don Pablo's, Bar Louie, and a few others and I'm sorry but no way do they compare to the ones that make me want to cry very large red onion-scented teardrops. And wouldn't you know it, we don't have one of them here.
Halp. Send Takoz Plz.
- The word 'deciduous'.
- Fuzzy socks (but you better not show me those disgusting ones with the toes on them).
- Sarcomical Some Things Friday Hottie: Taye Diggs.
Heh, hello there, Mister Diggs...uhh, hey...I, um, commend you for being able to pull off that suit, the funky hat, AND the...well...heh...that chest thing. Okay, bye.
Some Thing I Hate:
- Halloween is over, therefore the hideous inflatable snowmen, cartoon characters with Santa hats, and gargantuan snow globes should be taking over the neighborhood in approximately two weeks. Someone just burn my retinas now.
- Bras. I am hating them right now. Working from home has turned me into a spoiled, braless happy person. I have to really suck it up when I have to go out in society now, because hey, it's cold and kind of hard to sneak out without one.
- The word 'scalp'.
- People who say things like "Oh, you just wait. You'll see!"" when referring to some way in which they think they are superior for having had the lustre dulled on their plate of life, and in order to validate that it's okay (instead of just minding their own business), they feel the need to pound into your head that any hope of you being an individual with different outcomes than they have is completely ridiculous. THEY ARE WISER AND KNOW WHAT'S WHAT, DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND?!? And you are but a silly child who must be taught how to accept and look forward to these disappointments. For example, "You just wait until you have kids. Then you'll realize how (insert random idea of how you'd like to live your own life when you have children) is just not realistic. You'll change your mind, believe me.". Or, on a much lighter note, I hate "You just wait until you're married long enough. You'll realize that peeing in front of your spouse is NO BIG DEAL." Um. Hello. Have you just met me? Obviously, because otherwise you would know that there is no way in hell that this chick will ever ever take a pee in front of her husband. Okay, maybe only if my life were at stake or we were prisoners in a hostage situation. Other than that, I would rather squeeze it shut until I turn purple than pee with my husband in or near the bathroom. Besides, I've been married for almost 10 years. It's not like we just met and I'm shy. Just because you gave up for whatever reason that is completely your business or plain old don't think it's a big deal really means Zero to me. I am, and shall always be, a private pee...er.
- Lots of ice in a drink.
Some Things I Just Don't Get:
- People who still curl their bangs. Um. Stop it. Do you hear me?
- This Hannah Montana thing. I finally made myself stop on television the other day to see a few minutes of this show. Is she Hannah Montana? Is she Miley? Is that hair really hers? Does she do something so fantastic that I just don't understand? Does she smoke menthols to get that husky voice? Perhaps my limited exposure (thank God) is keeping me from getting the picture.
- Adults who still eat that canned fruit cocktail we got in school lunches. Ew.
- Wet erase markers. Why? Why would you want to do that, when dry erase is OUT THERE, all easy and not making you have to go to the sink and find a towel and walk all the way back, wipe, and then try to wipe again to get rid of all those pale-ish wet droplets? Dry erase markers have SPONGY TIPS now, you guys. All you have to do is turn it around. Come on.
- Two words. Amy. Winehouse. wtf?
