Strange Triggers

Everyone has that thing that sets them off.  Maybe not exploding out at people, but something that just annoys them so much that they try to avoid it at all costs.  I knew what one of mine was, but have found another one.

My triggers tend to deal with eating.  I do not like being around loud eaters.  I try not to be self conscious when I eat, because I don't want to be one of those loud eaters.  It's one of the reasons why I try to eat as fast as possible.  I want to get done so I can talk or get away from everyone that is a loud eater.

When I was growing up and my grandma was home for the summer, she liked us to eat together.  I was always the first done because they are all lout eaters, except for my mom, but she was across the table from me.  It's nothing I hold against my family, it's just something that really annoys me.

The other thing that has really started to annoy the hell out of me is listening to podcasts where the people are pouring liquids near their mics.  Holy fucking shit is that the most annoying thing ever.  It gets me so mad and I don't know why.

I have to stop listening to a podcasts because most of the time they're pouring something because they drink the entire show.  There's times when they even ratchet it up and do drinks that require dropping a shot glass into a bigger glass.  I nearly broke my headphones it annoyed me so much.

It's one of those things that I tried to figure out, but can't.  Actually being around someone that is pouring something isn't as bad, but it's getting there.  Thankfully it isn't something that is right next to my ears, which probably has to do a lot with it.

I know there are other things that annoy me.  The list is probably too long to list.  But those two things tend to be near the top.  Anyone have something strange that annoys you to no end?

The Early Years

When I was born my parents lived in a mobile home in Hilbert, WI.  They had a cat before I was born and it didn't take to kindly to having me around all of a sudden.  They had to get rid of it as it had a tendency of trying to sleep on my face, which a baby tries enough to kill itself when it's young but having a cat, unintentionally I'm sure, trying to help with it wasn't good.  After awhile they decided they needed a bigger house and rented one in Bay Ridge which is in Appleton, WI.  They didn't actually sell the mobile home, but rented it instead so they were able to make some money from that as well as their jobs. My earliest memory was when I was three and I was playing with some Matchbox cars on the floor in the morning and my mom in a rush to get to work accidentally stepped on one of my favorite cars, crushing it.  An odd memory to be your first, but none the less that's what it is.  My best friend while living there was a girl name Ashley.  ...

How Would You Like to Be Described

So, this is a question that basically asks how you want people to see you.  There are people that worry about what people think of you and then there are those that just don't give a fuck.  Sadly, I'm in the first group, not the second one. Nice, kind, caring.  Those are words that I would probably use, but not necessarily be proud of.  Why you may ask?  Well, those don't get me anywhere.  I also tend to think I'm funny, but that's a matter of opinion. There is also the question that has been asked in surveys and such about what would you rather be, smart or beautiful.  Most people pick beautiful.  And that actually makes a lot of sense.  Beautiful people get things easier. That's not saying that I don't like being smart (well, I think I'm somewhat smart at least).  It has a lot of benefits.  But it's been said a lot that smart people tend to be more miserable and I can't argue with that. This question also comes up when you nee...

Opening My Mouth

When I was younger and getting bullied, one of the things I was encouraged to do was talk to the guidance counselor.  Normally this is a good thing to do.  If you're in trouble you should talk to someone that can help. Now, I won't say it's the counselor's fault, but talking to her did not help at all.  In fact all it really did was cause everything to get worse.  At some point I just stopped talking.  I made some changes, got some payback, and the one time it started happening during my Freshman year, I didn't last too long before taking matters into my own hands (well fist). The one thing that I (unfortunately) learned from that was that saying how I feel is a bad thing.  I know I've most likely talked about this before, but it is really important.  It's something that has never really disproven itself over my life. I take the 2 instances I've told someone that I like them.  Yes, there are only two instances that this has happened.  Both...
