December 17: Haters Gonna Hate

Instead of a list of your favorite things, write a list of your least favorite things, e.g. Worst book you ever finished, the color you hate, bad songs, bad romances, bad recipes. (Amy)    

I sense a trend here in mid-December...pet peeves, things we hate. Gosh it's fun to bitch sometimes, isn't it? Is this to make sure we don't get annoyed by too much happy, sappy stuff? Fantastic!

Here we go...in no particular order:
  1. The movie "Reality Bites."
  2. Olives. And blueberries too.
  3. Those "net" Christmas lights that people put on shrubs. Christmas lights are supposed to be wonky and swirling and unkempt. They're not supposed to look like graph paper. I don't care if you have them...but mess 'em up a bit. Don't just throw them over the shrub and be done with it.
  4. Gollum...especially when Jay does "My precious" impressions.
  5. The New York Yankees.
  6. Humidity.
  7. Willful ignorance.
  8. Feigned piety.
  9. Having to be the person who gets out of bed first.
  10. Renaissance fairs.

Your list is pretty good. While I cannot comment on Jay's impression of "My precious," I can agree with you on the majority of other items you have listed. You may need to explain "Reality Bites" to me, though.

I just remember thinking it was too whiny. I was a child of the 80s...Say Anything, Ferris Bueller. And then all the sudden there was Winona Ryder and all the emoting. I wasn't into it. It wasn't my thing.
