#1 Christmas is coming. Yes, yes, lovely lovely. And on the whole I do like Christmas. But wow, what a  waste of everybody’s money and stress hormones.  The way we’re all stuck buying unwanted stuff for one another is really frustrating. Look how capitalism sticks it to us. “If you don’t buy stuff it means you don’t love them.” In truth, we’d all rather have babysitters or more sleep or a fun time or, if it came down to it, the money to pick something out for ourselves. But oh no, those things wouldn’t say “I love you” like a shiny new something or other that the other person will have to store or dust or re-gift to somebody else that you don’t know.

#2 Why is it that the people you don’t want to talk to/date/befriend are the very people who want to talk to/date/befriend you. And the people that you DO want to talk to/date/befriend are the very people that don’t want to talk to/date/befriend you? It’s amazing any of us get along at all.

#4 Software that absolutely does NOT work the way it should, but nobody can fix it and we all just have to learn to deal with it like a “difficult” person, but it isn’t a person, it’s a man made tool that is SUPPOSED to be helpful but isn’t. If I could strangle an interface, I would.

#5 The energy that  people, especially women, spend on self-doubt, worry, self-criticism, criticizing eachother, and running on the treadmill of self-improvement. That being said, I am always obsessed with these things myself. On to #6

#6  My own inability to think and act and talk and be what I myself admire.

#7 People who put you down, whether it is on purpose or “by accident.”

#8 There is never an end to the tasks we don’t like doing so there is always a tinge of guilt when engaging in stuff we do like doing. For example “I want to read this book or go out with a friend but geeez I should really clean the kitchen.” WHY IS THE KITCHEN NEVER CLEAN?!?! No matter how many times I clean it, it gets messy all over again. It’s like a puppy or a toddler that I adopted unintentionally.

#9  I wish the people I like would always be healthy and content and fulfilled. I know they can’t always be that way. But I want them to be.

#10  I think I’ve run out of peeves at the moment. Well now, isn’t that nice. If I have to pick one to finish out the list… how about misogeny. Yah. Or war or arms trading or poverty or abuse or all the nasty things we humans do to eachother and the sense of powerlessness that most of us have about it all. There. That’s a gooder.

Ahhh. that was a tasty rant. Now back to the books.
