Things I Don't Like

By Anonymous

I woke up with a splitting headache and an inability to focus on my work (due in no small part to listening to clips of children's songs on Amazon while investigating all of your wonderful suggestions). And because of this throbbing, pulsing, all consuming pain in my head, I can't write anything positive or thoughtful, so here's a brief list of things I don't like:

1. black ink pens
2. gel pens, all colors
3. cliquey people
4. mushrooms, shrimp, all peppers, and anything remotely spicy
5. the fact that I dislike everything in #4
6. people who drive slow in a fast car (really, all slow drivers, but nothing irritates me quicker than someone in an M3 driving 10 miles under the speed limit)
7. the squishy part of my stomach
8. Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, "Dr." Laura, Bill O'Reilly, etc.
9. the Bella character in Twilight
10. coffee (sigh)
11. fruit that has been cooked, dried, or mixed with chocolate (except chocolate covered strawberries, and occasionally a cooked, spiced apple)
12. nuts in anything (nuts alone are fine)
13. JP's need to "soak" all pans before washing them. This has quite literally made my head explode with efforts to understand WHY a pot used to BOIL NOODLES needs to soak in a soapy lather for an hour (and no, it's not to get out of doing the dishes, as he will go finish the job without reminder in an hour or two, but still- WHY?!)
14. high anxiety parents (this could be a whole post unto itself, but probably won't be because it would be mean and I try to keep this blog more about me than others)
15. headaches

So apparently I have a lot of food issues, and to think I was the "best eater" out of the three of us growing up. I also have a lot of emotion directed toward office supplies, people's driving habits, and flat, horrible 2-dimensional characters in books far more popular than they deserve to be. And dish washing practices. I believe #13 is the reason I woke up with #15 this morning.

Alright, I feel somehow cleansed of irritation I didn't know I had built up. I swear that I'm generally a pretty low stress person who laughs far, far more than she yells. I'm just going to get back to my work, blue non-gel pen in hand, and focus on being grateful that the only thing JP does that irritates me involves him doing the dishes at all.
