A List of Things That Annoy The Snot Out Of Me.

Because, really, we all need a moment of negative reflection in our lives.

Item No.1:
When your hard drive craps out leaving you (mostly) without a computer for about a month and a half. Of course this is also paired with going to your grandparents who can't get wireless internet because Arkansas is a stupid state. But still, the point is that you now have to reinstall and find everything you once held dear. You have to recustomize your Firefox with codes and skins and options. IT'S A LOT OF WORK. But on the plus side, I do have all of my keys on my keyboard back.

Item No.2:
This goes back to Christmas, but I couldn't rant about it then because of item no.1, so I'm going to rant about it now. ICICLE LIGHTS. They're not cool anymore, mmkay? Really, they're just plain annoying, sans special cases where it actually works. If you just have icicle lights up with a random inflatable abominable snowman (speaking of, the people with that didn't put it up this year. Sadness!), it WILL NOT WORK. It just looks tacky. Especially blue ones. Really, we all need the gigantic multicolored lights. Those are awesome and never go out of style.

Item No.3:
When people are relatively new to a fanbase, go through old videos, and then decide to use quotes from them at every possible moment. Okay, yes, that video of a inebriated Dave Keuning saying "he rocked his own socks off" was hilarious, but that doesn't mean you can say "they rock my socks!" or "they rocked their own socks off" everytime you see something associated with the band. It just doesn't.

Item No.4:
The writer's strike. I support the writers. Really, I do, but I'm tired of there not being anything on TV. I want my Pushing Daisies, The Office, and Heroes back. The only good thing about this strike is Conan's beard. It's dazzling, really.

Item No.5:
Facebook won't send me my confimation email. Uhm? What did I ever do to you? I just wanted to feel ~in the loop~. My myspace feels inadequate now, even though that's where most of my friends are. Still. YEAH FOR SLOW HOMESCHOOLERS.

Item No.6:
Before I went out of town, I put down $50 for a darling little Belkin equivalent to an iTrip. It works well. Except around Atlanta. I don't get it. I keep getting static where I'll be using it most. Going from the outskirts of Atlanta to Little Rock, Ar? Perfect sound! Atlanta? CRAPSHOOT.

Item No.7:
Snow melts. Why? This is one of the most unfair facts of life. I demand it be changed. I don't want snow for four hours and then it go away. I want it to still be there when I get up the next morning. At least stay for 24 hours.

Item No.8:
Shiny fabrics. Especially on fat people. It's not flattering. It just brings attention to the stuff you don't want people to pay attention to. And this is coming from a fat person. So please, just make them go away. Also, it's too much. It's like a neon sign flashing "LOOK AT ME! MY CLOTHES ARE UGLY!". Shiny belt? Cute. Shiny shirt? Not so much.

Item No.9:
The fact that I haven't played the Wii yet. I feel inadequate as a human being right now. I want one. I just want to touch one. Mostly, I want one before Mario Kart Wii comes out.

Item No.10:
My 12 year old cousin has "Low" by T-Pain or whatever as his ringtone. Uh, what? I didn't get a cell phone 'til I was 16. He also has his 30gb Video iPod with stuff such as Soulja Boy and... other rap songs I don't know. It's kind of obnoxious. Actually, I feel bad because I'm not there to teach them what good music actually is.

So there we have it. Ten things that really get my goat yet probably shouldn't. Oh the boring life I lead.
