Things that bother us.

When I was a little kid I used to wear those amusement park paper bracelets for a few weeks and thought it was cool.

I did that too, me and my friends would see who kept theirs on the longest.

I'm bothered by the fact that my brain is fried and I'm only half way done with my paper at 5 am. Need sleep.
This is me now. I'm pretty much 2/3 of the way done...but that doesn't take away from the fact that it's 5:30am. Scarily enough, a friend is still up studying with me.

I used to wear a Livestrong, but my little brother got it broken. It was nice to have some color on my arm. And I wore it before it got fashionable.

You're a regular Tom Hilfiger.

But it gave him some color on his arm!

I hate it when I have an irresistible urge to dance to something I'm playing (Gang Of Four's "Damaged Goods," for example) but I can't because my room is on the second floor of an 80+ year old house, and I've been forbidden to dance upstairs since it shakes the ceiling. Damn.

-People.Fuck em
-The lack of sunlight during the winter. This is especially frustrating when you wake up late and half the day is literally gone already.
-ESPN
-Being broke
-People who share music in one folder on Soulseek
-When people ban you on Soulseek (especially when you have like two more songs to go).
-Cold weather
-People who absolutely love MBV and don't like (or have heard of) Slowdive.
-The philistines in groups like Extensive Musical Taste.
Especially during those band/chart game things.

I dislike when an idiot on Soulseek tries to download an album off you at like 0.45 k/s, and backs up your upload line severely.

Another one is when the guy or girl you are downloading off of just logs off right when you're about 3 or 4 songs from finishing off an album. (Other than those complaints and what StDionysus said, I love Soulseek).

I usually only drink when im either alone or with like one other person and feeling quite depressed.

Its because I too fucking hate drunk people..

So, as I'm sure it is for many of you, it is finals week. Currently in the Lawrence area we are having extremely inclement weather. Super scary ice storm business. The possibility lingered earlier today of Monday night finals being canceled and the school said they would send out an e-mail by 6 to let us know.

I take my Media and Politics course at a different campus (still KU) that is 40 mins away so of course I was checking every 10 minutes or so. I received nothing by 6 and went to class.

I get there and the class is about 1/3 full, so we all started to get suspicious. The professor didn't show up and after 20 mins or so the dean there ran in and said he had called to say it was canceled and that he apparently had e-mailed us.

Well I am pissed off enough to stop in a computer lab before going home and low and behold I never got an e-mail. SO FUCKED UP. MAKE ME DRIVE 40 MINS (WHICH TURNED INTO AN HOUR) IN AN ICE STORM FOR NOTHING?!?!?! Biggest bullshit ever.

Perhaps this can be considered more than something that "bothers me" but I just needed to vent.

Pete Docherty - Flimsy talent, can't handle his drugs. Missed a concert cos he was at a fashion show. Keepin it real!

James Blunt - The guy took reverse elocution lessons for fuck's sake.

Haha, I don't think anyone's going to argue with that.


Having two of my finals only 30 minutes apart bothers me.Time management is not my strong point; this leaves me very little cram time!!

That sucks. I had a similar experience yesterday (well, kind of).

A few weeks ago, I talked to a recruiter from a food processing company and set up an interview for what I thought was a finance-related position.

So yesterday, I drove 45 minutes into the middle of nowhere during the worst snowstorm of the year and almost slid off the road a few times. When I got to the interview, they explained to me that if I wanted a financial position with the company that I would have to work on the assembly line as a team leader for at least three to five years first. They then proceeded to show me a tour of the facilities. I got to see the entire process of a raw potato turning into a frozen french fry.
