Annoying

Miss Misery tagged me, but I don't really need a tag to list 7 things that irritate the hell out of me. In fact, I'm always happy to do that!

1. Sponsored posts on blogs. I don't care how you try to justify it to yourself. If you write your blog for anyone other than yourself, you need to step back and take a look at why you blog. Even if you mark them clearly as sponsored posts, they're still a complete betrayal to the whole point of blogging.

2. Renting space on blogs. I just don't understand it. What is the point? To get mindless click-through traffic that NEVER results in increased readership? Here's a clue: If you want to get more readers, take the time to read blogs that interest you and comment on them. That's all it takes.

3. My fucking right eye. I don't know if it's allergies or an occluded tear duct or what, but a few days a week, my right eye will just water all day long. And not just tear up, but get that sleepy shit in my eye, too. I fucking hate you, eye! Maybe I should just tear it out and get an eyepatch.

4. Britney Spears's vagina. You know what, if you had told me three years ago that Britney would have been flashing her poonani all over the place and I wouldn't care, I would have punched you in the face and called you a liar. But here we are, and I'm actually annoyed at her vajayjay. She's been rode hard and put away wet, and her bajingo looks like it. Sigh.

5. People who insist on saying "Merry Christmas" because they think they're making a point. You know what? You're not. It's not clever or pointed. It's tired and stupid. It's a holiday season, and is there really any big deal to saying "Happy Holidays" or "Season's Greetings?" I have friends who celebrate Chanukah and friends who don't celebrate anything - why do I have to force Christmas on them?

6. Fanboys. These sniveling little retards who can go online and just argue for hours about details that don't matter in their favorite media, whether it's TV, movies, comics, or something else. You make the rest of us geeks look bad - fuck off and die, k?

7. People who think California is crazy-land. It's no crazier than any other part of the country. If you're on the far right, politically speaking, and you don't have a brain on your shoulders, you might find California to be frightening because people actually challenge your ideas. But if you're someone who thinks about each belief you have and have some modicum of intelligence, California is just another fucking state.
