Your current annoyance

Power outage.

I picked a fight with Ngau by walking up to him and saying "I'm picking a fight with you. Hurry up and get mad at me and dump me. Also, I want to torture some small animals and become an abusive crack addict who never bathes." He thought it was funny. Bah.

Hahaha. My husband is terrifyingly proficient at making me laugh when I'm trying to work up into a good solid self-destructive tantrum.

Isn't that the f-ing worst? You wanna fight, but they're making you laugh?

It's the worst. Unless there's also ice cream involved.

So for future reference (if I ever wind up with a s/o again) ice cream will make everything better? And also, is there a particular flavor/variety?

[Kajin]

Power is still out. It's even hotter inside the house than it is outside. I'm still angry that the thunderstorm that caused it only gave us fifteen minutes of rain.

When Ngau pointed out that I deal with my anger in the most pointless and unproductive way ever, I said, "OF COURSE, I'M BEING POSTMODERN!" He says I've gotten better over the years, at least now I have enough self-awareness to announce that I'm being batpoop insane.

Being reminded that there is a film co-written by Joss Whedon and directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet. This combination should be full of win. Instead we get Alien Resurrection.

I know July 4th is a national holiday here, but it's just really annoying when it falls in the middle of the week. When you have a day off mid-week, you don't WANT to go back. I expect many people to be calling in come Thursday morning with some sort of "illness" which means I can't do it myself...unless I claim gallstones >.>

The fact that in spite of all but six counties are in burn bans and we're doing our best to catch up with Colorado (we're just lucky that the wind hasn't been worse or we would have fires every bit as big here in Arkansas) that people are still being stupid and setting off fireworks. Of course there's always the comforting thought that if they get caught that it's an $1,100 fine per firework shot off.

[Thaklaar]

So, how long have you hated freedom, LobosSolos?

[Kajin]

Celebrating freedom can be put off until after the massive firestorms are done consuming all life as we know it.

[LobosSolos]

I don't hate freedom, but I'd rather there be something left to enjoy after the celebration.

[FreakyBoy]

I hate freedom. Too many people abused and misused it, and it's become feral.

Call of Duty-style multiplayer for FPS'

Seriously? I have to earn the right to use better guns and attachments? Screw that, I'm gonna go play Halo: Reach, you know; where you get good/the same weapons no matter how new you are to the game.

July 4th has been over for almost an hour and people are still setting off fireworks. The tenants have been calling me to complain so I had to go out and find out who was doing it and get them to stop.

Turns out it was the children of a sweet little old disabled lady who lives on our property. They were just trying to show her a good time. God I hate being the resident killjoy, but people gotta work in the morning.

'People have to work in the morning' is a legitimate excuse when someone's a regular noise-maker. If it's a special occassion just suck it up and go to work tired the next day. Not bitching about you here - but the complainers. Noise laws around here are quite strict, and people who call the police every single time someone is noisy after 10:00 pm, regardless of occassion, get on my tits.

On the other hand, I'm equally annoyed by those who provoke the complainers when they don't have to deal with the consequences. The kind of person who, when asked politely by bar staff to keep it down because the residents upstairs have complained to the police about the noise, respond by shouting louder to spite them.

People are all inconsiderate dickheads, basically - that's my current annoyance.

[Kajin]

I'm sad now.
