Pet Peeves

Hey! Yeah, I know it's been forever. Kill me now.

Just got back from painting with Jenna, Stephie, and Jackie. It was fun. My corner of the canvas was random and confused. I couldn't decide what to do. So eventually I killed it and wrote 'SCARS' with black paint, and then below that, 'CONFUSED', 'cause that's how I felt making it.

Moving on, I have decided to list my pet peeves. In no particular order.

Note: if you're easily offended, I wouldn't suggest reading this.

1.) Chatspeak. Why do you have to type 'u' instead of 'you'? It's an extra two letters, people! 1.5 seconds extra at the most. 'Da' instead of 'the', and '2' instead of 'two', 'too', or 'to', 'bi' instead of 'bye'. You make yourselves look stupid and idiotic. My dog has better typing skills than that.

2.) Overly sensitive people. If you can't take me being mean to you, don't talk to me. Easy as that.

3.) People that can't recognize sarcasm. Sarcasm is just a part of me. You can't take me seriously. Never. xD

4.) People that think horses are scary. Yesh, they're big. Yeah, you've seen them kill people in the movies. GUESS WHAT. My horse isn't a scary movie horse. He isn't going to hurt you. He will not buck you off, he won't kick you, and he isn't going to rear up. See next peeve.

5.) People that can't stand me babbling on about my horses. I have horses. I trained them both myself, one since he was a week old. I'm excessively proud of them. They're gorgeous, majestic animals. I'm GOING to talk about them. Accept it, or don't talk to me anymore.

6.) People that think Finland is an uncivilized country. Just because they've never been excessively active in any famous wars, have never done anything insanely, world-changingly remarkable, doesn't mean they're a third-world country. They're just like us, people. They don't live in igloos, polar bears do not reign with an iron claw.

7.) People that talk louder to people with pronounced accents. You won't make them understand you better. You'll just annoy them. The fact that they're from another country doesn't always mean that they're stupid and can't understand English.

8.) People that assume I'm like everyone else, thus treating me like everyone else. I'm not a plastic Barbie like all of them, k? Please don't label me until you get to know me. Don't treat me like the plastics. I'd rather be ignored than treated as if I might fall over if you touch me. I can take you down, you know. I'm not weak.

9.) The phrase 'I love you'. Seriously. It's insanely overused. Love is not something you say to your girl/boyfriend to make them think you care for them. Love is something none of us will ever fully grasp. Don't use it like a wad of toilet paper, k? As dcTalk so plainly stated, "Hey! I think it's time you learned, love is a serious word! ...The word love, love is a verb."

10.) People who make Neopets accounts, play for a day, and leave. Please, if you're not going to use it, don't start it. Neo servers are overloaded with long-abandoned accounts, untouched since the first day. And that leaves us, the loyal players, with more ads to pay for the servers, thus a slower site. Don't do it.

11.) People who call me a 'nerd' because I wear glasses and like to read. It's not funny.

12.) Labels. Just because you cut your wrists and listen to post-grunge music, doesn't mean you're emo. The fact that you wear skirts three inches long and weigh 50 pounds doesn't make you better than us. Labels are for tin cans-leave them there. It hurts us to unimaginable levels to be labeled.

I think I can stop at 12. xD I'll propably have more soon.

love you all! Take no offence at my rantings. I got called an emo and a nerd a couple days ago, and it hurt. I need to rant through words instead of blood.

Cheers!
