Wow, one of those days huh? You need a break! Well, I'll post, I guess it's time for me to come out of hiding to say that I read your blog fairly regular. Oh, and by the way, the whole x-mas thing isn't bad, it's just short-hand; the x is greek for Christ. Christ+mas = Christmas.

Sounds like you get annoyed with a lot of people who simply differ from your likes and dislikes.

I get annoyed when people find quirkes of others annoying.

first of all, i hardly think the majority of my annoyances have anything to do with, nor do they inhibit, anyone's ability to express their individual "quirkiness". its more of a confession of the silly things that rub me the wrong way, so take my words with a grain of salt.

kait, i'm a little jealous i didn't name some of those...amen to your thought on the better than others, turn signals, and getting wasted.
