I've been largely steering away from surveys these days, since they get a bit tedious after a while. I enjoy talking about stuff that bothers me, though, so I decided to take this one from
Calvin's Canadian Cave of Coolness.
Foods which disgust the crap out of me - Potato salad. I don't much care for potatoes or mayonnaise, so mixing them is just a culinary experiment from Hell. (I'm aware that not all potato salads include mayo, but I don't want to eat them anyway.)
TV show I loathe - Well,
bethje forced me to watch a little of
Jersey Shore yesterday (it was the first time watching it for either of us), and even without paying full attention, it annoyed the crap out of me. I think the whole point of the show is to increase prejudice against Italian-Americans, and do we really need that in this day and age?
Movies I loathe - Just about anything with Meg Ryan in it. Seriously, how many anti-feminist movies can one actress be in? Is she a self-loathing female, like Phyllis Schalfly?
Music genres I loathe - I try not to dismiss any genre out of hand, but I have yet to come across any of the nu-metal/angry white boy semi-rap stuff that I like. I'm not a fan of reggae either, although I do like Tori Amos' "Ireland," which has a reggae beat.
Magazine which annoys me - Cosmopolitan (anyone who needs an ARTICLE to figure out how to turn on a man is pretty pathetic; getting us horny is like shooting fish in a barrel), Us (celebrity gossip by five-year-olds, for four-year-olds), and Maxim (not because of the smutty pictures, as I have nothing against other magazines that show a lot more female skin, but because of its frat-boy vibe). I'd probably hate more if I'd had more exposure to them.
Makes me cranky at restaurant - When the wait staff totally ignores us
Makes me cranky in public - Waiting in lines
Makes me cranky in general - Having to get out of bed. (On the other hand, I don't have a lot of trouble getting out of bed when I realize I have the option of going back to sleep if the waking world doesn't please me.)
Pisses me off at home - That we have only one bathroom for four people
Pisses me off at work - Being watched too closely
Pisses me off in general - Lack of stability
Celebrity I hate - Charlie Sheen
Music artist I hate - I'd say Dave Matthews, but I think that's more a case of "it's not the band I hate; it's their fans." I mean, I MIGHT hate him, but I don't know enough about him personally. I just think his music is dull. I think I might have to go with Cal, and say Nickelback, since I'm well aware they have bad attitudes as well as bad music.
I could care less about - Do you mean "COULDN'T care less about," by any chance? If so...I don't know, the Halo games.
Annoys the crap out of me weekdays - Feeling that I have to go to bed early (even though I often don't)
Blogger's habit that annoys you - Going months without updating
Feature on your blog you hate - That LiveJournal is constantly trying to sell its users on paid accounts
Movie star you despise - Mel Gibson
Beverage You Hate - Coffee. Yeah, I know I'm weird.
