Piffle and Bother
Written at 8:42 p.m. on 2005-05-03
I had a nice, lovely, self-depricating entry typed up in the little box you type entries in - and then my computer froze. Having reconsidered the potential embarressment factor, should anyone I know read it, I have decided to merely inform the world that I'm an idiot and leave it at that.
And answere Claire's quizzle thingie.
1) What fictional character(s) do you take after/find affinity with? Too many. But honestly? I'd have to say Severus Snape from Harry Pooter (yes, that was intentional) because he's a snarky bastard and I want to be like him when I grow up. I admire his verbal skills.
2) How would you describe your religious/spiritual affiliation, or lack thereof? Occasionally stimulating, sometimes boring.
3) You can banish 5 irritating things to...away! What do you chose to banish? (Assuming that predjudice, racism, homophobia, all the bigs ones have been dealt with. I want to know what petty things bug you). Bad grammar. I could kill - literally - those little buggers who can't capitialize properly and scatter their apostrophes across words like they're a cure all. You can conjugate verbs, use periods, commas, dashes, and semicolons; that is, if you know what a semicolon is. Otherwise you have no business mucking around with it.
Chewing with your mouth open. There's nothing more disgusting than listening to your dad chew his dinner with his mouth open - especially when you're attemping to masticate your own.
Garlic. That's all I'm saying.
Slow drivers. Everyone should drive precisely as fast or faster than I am driving, because I'll tailgate you if you're in front of me and leave you eating my dust if I pass you.
Cattiness. One thing I hate about where I work is the fact that almost all the leads and managers dislike my boss, simply because she's a bit more unconventional about things then they are. Granted, some things about her annoy me too - like haphazard topstock, which I am also guilty of on occasion - but she works harder than half of them, treats her employees well, and is more pleasantly-tempered than most. Ergo, they all gossip about her behind her back, which absolutely infuriates me.
4)What would immediately turn you off a diaryland blog? I suppose the biggest thing would be the publicness of it all, but since I try not to put up any of my really sensitive stuff, everything's squared away there.
5)Who is your strangest crush object (by everyone else's standards). Why do you find them attractive? Ah... This is what that self-depricating entry was about, referenced to earlier in this entry. I will say that he is in a position of authority over me - not one of my teachers - and that he's at least fifteen years older than me, and absolutely adorable. I do love 'em tall and dark. I can't help it. Really, I can't.
6)You can pass one new law. What's the new law? It'd have something to do with closing the borders to Mexico and deporting all the illegal immigrants back to there. They make up about 5% of our work force - which tallies up nicely with our unemployment rate - and cost our economy up to the tune of 68 billion a year. In California alone, ten billion. In Arizona, it works out to be about $700 per household.
Outrageous. Not that I have anything against Hispanics, because I don't. But the illegal ones are costing us far too much money.
