because being contrary is one of the things I love most.

Filed under: stuff — meg @ 2:56 pm

In honour of Valentine’s Day:

THINGS I HATE

Artificial watermelon flavour
Gunky aquariums
When people use their cell phones like walkie talkies, complete with the BEEP
The price of books
Tim Allen movies
Overuse of the term “edgy” to describe anyone or anything
When people don’t know the difference between being honest and being an asshole
When I don’t know the difference between being honest and being an asshole
The sound of speakers buzzing from too much bass
Overly warm bedrooms
“Party” used as a verb
Throat-clearing to get someone’s attention: “Eh -EHM!”
The vast majority of reunion tours
The absence of lists
Oppressive humidity
Most movie reviews
Having my grammar corrected
The ongoing lameness of the trash talking in my hockey pool
Political condescension
Patchy wireless connections
The taste of Diet Coke
Sarcasm without end
People who smell inordinately much like flowers
Frappuccino/Ice Cap/Moolatte oil-based fluffy coffee drinks
Not being trusted
The celebration of unkindness
Kiefer Sutherland films
Joe Francis, always and forever
Losing my view at work to rampant construction
The smell of burnt plastic
When people ask more than four questions during a movie
Blisters on my feet
Going to the doctor
My sinuses
Cliffhangers

    If you were being true to the spirit of our pool, you’d have said “You’re team sucks!”

    But Kiefer Sutherland is so hot! And you know you love it when someone bellows “LET’S PARTY!!!!!!!!!!” in your ear. Complete with extra exclamation points.

    Over utilization of the word utilize
    More the 5 days in row below freezing
    Defensive celebrations on second down
    The smell of any men’s cologne
    Going to the dentist
    Red wine hangovers
    The taste of diet Pepsi
    The Grammies (but not my grammys, may they rest in piece)
    The other party’s response to the State of the Union address
    The constant whining of not having a college football “play-off” to determine a national champion

    Just movies? so 24 is Ok?

    4 Questions? You can tolerate up to 4 questions in (and about) a movie? You’re the soul of patience itself compared to me.

    Ha! HA! Picked names out of a hat! Those boys always forget that I *started* the pool all those years ago. No appreciation for my sacrifice in hanging with those dorks all these years.
