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, [livejournal.com profile] 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.

Well, [livejournal.com profile] bethje hates it more than I do.

I have a violent hatred for reggae. I also hate jam bands.

Jam bands are fucking awful. They need to stop.

They really do, considering that most of them are still playing the exact same song they were when they started up. {g}

After all that, your "Mood" line cracked me completely up.

I did not know that Nickelback had bad attitudes as well as bad music. That makes me feel all the smugger about hating their bad music.

Well, I remember hearing that, during an interview, Nickelback's lead singer threatened to beat up Matthew Good.
