There are certain little things in this world that, for whatever reason, drive me nuts. I’m not talking about things that I really can’t stand. I have plenty of those. These are things that annoy me so badly that I feel like I can’t function for a split second. They’re all really dumb and I’m pretty sure that the 5 people who read this blog will think I need to be medicated, which is probably true. Whatever. You guys don’t come here for normal, do you?

1. Driving behind a person with their turn signal on
This one gets me every time. I usually just switch lanes, but if I’m on a 2 lane road that doesn’t always work and then I can do nothing but stare at the turn signal and curse at the people in the car for not turning it off. HOW CAN YOU NOT KNOW!!!

2. “Picky” Eaters
I’m not talking about the people that say “no tomato” on their sandwich. I’m talking about people that claim they don’t like certain foods, but have never actually tried them.

I’m a “don’t knock it ’til you try it” kind of person when it comes to food. I’ve tried a lot of different types and there are only a few things I don’t like (olives, bananas and mushrooms). I like trying new places and tasting different things, so picky eaters really cramp my style. If the only places you want to go out to eat or Applebee’s, Ruby Tuesday’s or any other crap hole chain restaurant, I probably don’t want to eat with you.

3. The Phrase “I want to touch base”
I think everyone has that one saying they really hate. This one is mine. I hear this a least once a day too, and every time I grit my teeth and my brain has a mini explosion.

This makes no sense, unless you are playing baseball. What’s wrong with “I’d like to talk to you” or “I want to sit down with you” or anything other than this stupid saying?!?!

4. When the volume on the radio is not a number divisible by 5
I’m pretty sure this is the one that will make me sound the most neurotic. The volume control on my car stereo is digital. If the number it displays is not divisible by 5, I must change it. If it’s on 14, I’ll kick it up a notch to 15. It has to has to be that way because if it’s not, the world may end.

So I told you mine, so what are some of the things that make YOU crazy?

For once, the internet has actually gotten together to do something besides bash people or show their inappropriate body parts.

Keanu Reeves has has a pretty rough life. He lost his best friend, River Phoenix, his girlfriend gave birth to a stillborn baby, his sister has leukemia and some crazy lady was claiming that he fathered her 4 adult kids. The dude’s had it pretty rough and understandably, he’s had a case of the sads for quite some time. So the internet decided to cheer him up by creating this website.

The “official” Cheer up Keanu day is tomorrow. Write him a letter, send him a virtual hug, or draw him a picture:

Keanu taught us to be excellent to each other, so let’s be excellent to him! And party on dude!

I have you ever had one of those days where things just took forever? Like simple things that should only take a few minutes end up taking an eternity? That was my day today.

I had to go to the post office to mail 95 pez dispensers to a chick in Thailand. I’ll go into more detail on why I was doing this later. I generally hate going to the post office by my house because it’s usually pretty busy and a lot of the time the people working there seem oblivious to the fact you’re standing in line waiting. This day was actually an exception. The mail ladies were working quickly and I got to the front of line fast. But then the lady reminds me I have to fill out a customs form to ship something overseas. So I had to get out of line, fill that out, and get back into the line that got ridiculously long in the 3 minutes it took me to fill out the half page form. I waited for like 15 minutes in line because I was an idiot and didn’t fill out the form BEFORE going to the post office.

I was doing this on my lunch break and by the time I got out of the post office my break was almost over and I hadn’t eaten yet. So I figured I just run to Publix real quick and get a sandwich. Usually there’s plenty of people working in the deli, but today there was only ONE person doing everything. I felt bad for the girl because she had a decent sized line and had no one to help her. I’ve been in those situations before and they suck. I was patient and polite to her. Never fuck with people that handle your food; haven’t you seen the movie Waiting? That really DOES happen. TRUST ME. I was getting impatient, but was still nice for fear the lady might spit in my food. If I don’t eat, I get grumpy and I was still annoyed at myself with the whole post office incident.

I get my sandwich and head back to work. My lunch break is over so I just eat my sandwich at my desk while I’m working. My boss tells me that I need to remove something off of one our clients site’s. Something that should have taken only ONE MINUTE TOPS, but something happened to the database of this site when we switched servers or something and I couldn’t open the file properly. GAH! What was going on today???

Looking back on it now, everything that happened is pretty comical, but at the time it was FRUSTRATING! I hate days when nothing goes the way you want it to. Hopefully tomorrow will be much smoother.

So about those Pez dispensers for sale. Yeah, I’m selling more than just that. I’m officially moving in with Dave…probably around the first of the year. It makes sense, considering I’m pretty much here all the time anyway. My sister wasn’t too happy at first, but she’s fine with it now. Since I’m moving, I need to get rid of a ton of things I don’t need anymore. Anyone need some furniture?
