5 things that are objectionable
a few weeks ago when the 'flag this blog' option appeared in the navbar bubbles was the first to point it out. In response she posted 5 things she finds objectionable and challenged us to do the same. I didn't have much to say then so I stuck it in a corner for a night when what I wanted to blog about wasn't something I could really say.
which is happening a lot lately. conclusive arguments have been made for the starting of another blog but i have another idea. i think i will write the posts and stick them in a corner and then post them at a time when whatever it is is SO irrelevant that noone will have a fucking clue what it's about. I mean my posts aren't really time related anyway.
currently i'm typing two posts at once and editing my okcupid profile as directed by several friends. apparently my cheery nature is hidden by the cynical nature of my wordage. whatever. anyway what's funny about this is that i can barely move my freaking fingers [so of course i think i'll go climbing tomorrow {riiiiiight} somewhere in between a job interview, teaching a class and a bb king concert when all the while I can't use my arms! I crack myself up.
Also? SO STOKED about BB KING! What a fucking fantastic birthday present othercat came up with this year! I yearn to approach playing drums the way bb plays guitar.

okay 5 objectionable things
1) cops who don't follow the traffic laws while driving. especially irritating are lane changes without signals and tailgaiting. (tailgating?)
2) neglect or harm toward children or animals.
3) men who will work for weeks to get a woman into bed and then drop her like a hot potato the next morning. what did i do to deserve that i ask you? [note this was years ago... ]{and it was some damm good sex too which made it even weirder}
4) shouting your opinion more and more loudly so you don't have to listen to someone who may actually know something about it.
5) boys on matchmaking sites that send 'hello' emails and then expect me to do all the work. Uh dude... you messaged me!
every one bubblelicious said in her post that's linked from the title although my inner environmentalist is secretly delighted at gas prices. also almost every one that was mentioned in the comments on her post... and one more just because:
6) playing that night vision video of those people being shot and the bullet tracers and *shudder* in iraq over and over during a stanley cup hockey game that kids were CLEARLY going to be watching. *I* was horrified and traumatised. I should be allowed to CHOOSE what kind of violence I expose myself to dammit! More than that I should get a choice when my kids are involved!!
Okay I know I don't have any kids but there were kids watching that hockey game in the same cafe i was in and I was offended on their behalf as much as mine.

That's pretty much it for objections and my day. As for tag... hrm..
I tag (always) othercat and castufari and this week I also tag light strikes a deal, natalia and dzer! :)
