My "Things"
It was pointed out to me recently by my boyfriend that I have a number of "things" or issues. I told him he was crazy because I only have problems with... Yeah, the list went on much longer than I thought it would. So here is a list of the major ones, for posterity. My fear and anger flashpoints:
- Mascots
- Magicians
- Clowns
- Anyone Trying To Pull A Fast One (other than me)
- Instrumental Jazz
- Jam Bands
- Jennifer Love Hewitt
- Utensils Clanging Against Teeth
- Biting Down On Utensils
- Toothbrushing Sounds
- Supernatural Pranks
- Turtlenecks, Chokers, Or Anything Else Too Close Or Tight Around My Neck
- Low-Hanging Earrings
- Sports Radio, Including Play-By-Play Broadcasting
- Grinding Teeth Noise
- Applying Eyeliner
- Putting In Contact Lenses
- Anything That Puts Eyes In General Danger
- Insects
- Swimming In The Ocean Or Any Non-See-Through Body Of Water
- Barefootedness
- Scalp-Scratching
Dream Watch 2000: I don't know what happened during my dream, but I do know that sleeping in air conditioning felt DELICIOUS.
What I'm Listening To: My new mix for the road trip. I'm sure half of my playlist won't even be deemed worthy of Spencer's Ipod, but a girl has to try. If he cuts Dolly Parton's 9 to 5 though, there will be an issue.
What I'm Reading: Iraq news. I swore I would stop, but I just can't. Things are so terrible right now. I can't even believe it.
What I'm Watching: One Tree Hill. What a great finale! Other than the whole crappily constructed "looking back through flashbacks" plot device that they seemed to abandon after the first half hour. It's hard enough for complex shows like Alias and The X-Files to pull off. Somehow I don't think intellectual giant Chad Michael Murray should be asked to do time travel in his head. Hailey and Nathan were so cute, and then so bizarre. Married? Aren't they like 16? Nathan and Lucas were my other favorite couple with their newfound brotherly love spilling into "Awww!" territory. Plus, it was nice to see poor unrequited lovebitch Keith gettin' some, and with his brother's ex no less. Dan is so evil. I guess karma is paying him back big time with the whole chest pain thing. We'll see how that messes things up next season. Thanks OTH! You started off badly but got better each episode. Keep it up!
