Things I hate.
Number one: Loud people at the library. Ok, I know I have at one point or another been one of those annoying people laughing with my friends about some stupid piece of gossip (because we all know you can’t go to the library without seeing someone you know). I am talking about those individuals who feel the need to make ridiculously unwitty jokes, and obnoxiously laugh so EVERYONE within earshot (and maybe farther) can hear them. Then, as if that isn’t annoying enough, they feel the need to talk and/or laugh to themselves, thus creating more attention to be drawn to them (just in case you didn’t hear their incessant rambling to begin with). Shut up dude, no one cares, and no one thinks you’re funny.
Number two: Rude soccer moms. I love my mom more than anything in the world. It is certain other moms that drive me insane. I have had the (we’ll call it privilege) to spend this summer babysitting twice a week. So basically, I drive 2 girls to their dance, swimming, and volleyball camps. During these wonderful camps, I realized how fricking annoying some mothers can be. I have never understood these mothers and their need to live vicariously through their children. (possibly because I have no children of my own) It is one thing to be proud of your kids, and to want the best for them. It is COMPLETELY different to tell another mom her kid sucks at volleyball. Really? You are trash talking a 9 year old. Congratulations. I was recently watching Toddlers in Tiaras with my mom and was again introduced to the same type of ridiculous mothers. I find it interesting that every single adorable little girl in this beauty pageant had a total cow for a mother. Lesson learned-No matter how cute and talented your kid is, you are still annoying.
To follow this up and show that I am not as cynical as I may seem, I would like to add a few things that I love.
Number one: TV. Grey's Anatomy started with another great premier. Even though it started out a little slow, and George's death wasn't as dramatic as it could have been (probably because everyone knew he was going to die), it still made me excited for next week's episode. Along with Grey's, Desperate Housewives=ALWAYS GOOD. Thank God Mike married Susan and not Katherine, or I may have stopped watching the show. I do however love the fact that Katherine is turning into a total stalker...should be interesting.
Number two: teaching. I have already had some very interesting experiences subbing this year. My first day was at the middle school where an 8th grader proceeded to say "screw this shit" when I gave him his assignment. I've also had some great times in 4th grade so far...and look forward to more when Tiffany heads to Hawaii. Favorite Tiffany quote: "I'm jealous of myself!"
Number three: Farmville on Facebook. I can't even believe I'm writing about this, but this is seriously what my life has come to. Last week, in Seattle, Mahyo and I discovered (through her friend Steve) Farmville and started our own farms. Needless to say, I have been RIDICULOUSLY obsessed since then. Not only do I time how long before I have to harvest my strawberries, but I plan how much money I need for new trees and more fencing for my pig and baby elephant. If that isn't awesome, I'm not sure what is.
Number four: walks of shame. I have to say my 23rd birthday outing provided with the most epic walk of shame in my adult life. Sara and I stayed at a friend's apartment, and the next day we left, her in male clothing and myself still in my dress from the night before. To make matters worse, I had to go home to my parents, and what is the first thing I do when I get inside the house? Yes...I puke, right in front of my mom. Best. Morning. Ever.
Now that I've written a novel, I'll leave you with one of my favorite quotes from some random guy in Montana (only Dany will appreciate this)-
"You look like dog shit"
first off, I can't believe you gave into the blogging world, I guess its fitting since were you wanted to be an english major. but second off, now that you are blogging, its great cause it gives me something to do while my crops harvest. and thirdly, i seriously just LOLed.
