Would y'alls rather...
...listen to me talk in a horrible fake accent or "suffer" using proper grammar?
People who confuse these words make me very, very angry. I do not appreciate confusion of these words.

And now, ladies and gentleman, the moment you've all been waiting for...Pet Peeves: Vol. II
Yes, after much deliberation (read: procrastination), I am returning with Pet Peeves!
11. Hypocrites
Now, I myself happen to be a hypocrite. But, that doesn't mean I can;t hate it when people are hypocritical. I actually believe I have been less hypocritical lately, so there. An example of someone else being a hypocrite: let's say you have to share a work/storage space with someone for a long time, like a year. And the other person is a self-proclaimed neat-freak, and you're kind of maybe sort of totally a slob. So, the first day the other person says to you, "I'm so glad we're working together [or whatever these awfully cheerful morning people say]! And now, you're going to have to keep your side [of the work/storage space] really neat and clean all year, okay?" And then within a week they have they're crap all over the place. I mean, SERIOUSLY.
12. Busybodies
While, again, I do like to know as much about people as I can ("Know thine enemy"), I'm not going to go "meddle in their affairs" just because I can. I happen to respect people's privacy and would rather they do the same.
13. People Who Compare Music
I mean specifically as in, "this person is like the indie Brittany Spears." There is no similarity between them at all, okay? That's part of being indie, if I'm correct. And I don't like Brittany Spears.
14.People Who Laugh Too Much
I know some people who are constantly laughing. And not even about funny things. For example: someone sneezes. And it's a normal sneeze. OH MY GOD SO FUNNY. /sarcasm
15. Trolls
Trolls in general annoy me. And people who go out of their way just to make someone else seem stupid and uninformed (coughcoughmybrothercough). I only do that when it's necessary.
Eh. That's all for now.

I'm sorta confused why this posted itself before I even wrote anything....
So, again, no more Pet Peeves, not that you care, blah blah blah.
Doctor's Office: Singer has moved up to spot two on Google. I checked #4 and was like "oh no, how did this happen?" and then I saw it had moved up. I'd like to imagine that means I'm becoming more "famous."
Instead of complaining about what other people do, I'm going to complain about how I'm sore instead:
As some of you may know, I happen to dance. Ballet, to be precise (modern this year, too, but only an hour a week and it's part of ballet). And ballet can be really, really painful when you haven't dance for a month and then all of a sudden have three hours of class, an hour of which is conditioning. So now I'm going to make a list of how I'm sore, which if anyone's comments (remember that?) about not being able to understand the scientific terms because they haven't taken basic anatomy/forgot it all, then maybe I'll explain. But until then, NO, haha I feel evil.
Gastrocnemius: which Blogger says I spelled wrong, but I know I didn't. Okay whatever they're the calf muscles. Slightly sore but not so much.
Quadriceps: please shoot me in the head I can barely walk curse you conditioning. And I also had a charley horse which was really painful and had to happen in the middle of class. So now I can't bend my knees while there's any weight at all on them (I can but it's painful and difficult), and if I want to sit down I have to lower myself with my arms. I FEEL SO USELESS.
Latissmus dorsi: which apparently I spelled right the first time. Basically my back is sore and there's nothing I can do about it. It's hard to stretch.
Hamstrings: usually a lot more sore than my quads; I can't say a reversal of circumstances is any better.
Rectus abdominis: thankfully easier to stretch out than the obliques, but annoying because BEING SORE IS REALLY ANNOYING.
Also I have a sore throat. But I don't think it's strep. If it's strep I'm going to shoot someone, because I've already had it twice this year. And since I'm sick I can't go to Nutcracker auditions, which means I won't be able to do it this year...which means I have a chance at winning NaNoWriMo for once! That's me, always looking on the bright side! Yeah, right.

Cyber Twins & Shared Brains: Awesome Things (and I ramble)
So, I'm making a list of awesome things. I know I said I'd do more PEt PEeves, but honestly, you don't care. It's okay, you can admit it. I don't mind. (Well, I do, but since I figured it out myself you can just say it anyhow)
Cyber Twins And Shared Brains
It's really amazing when you're just on NaNo and it turns out there's someone else who looks like you (i.e. REDHEADS FOREVER!) And it's even better when you share a brain!
Shared brain=I say something and then they're like, that's exactly what I was thinking. Except when it happens consistently.
Soundproof Rooms
I think a soundproof room would be really, really, fantabulous, because I like to sing along with music when I'm listening to it (really loudly, of course, when possible) and I. Cannot. Sing. At. All. So, in a soundproof room, not only could I play music as loudly as I wanted, no one could hear me sing!

All. So, in a soundproof room, not only could I play music as loudly as I wanted, no one could hear me sing!
- Probably one of the main reasons I sound awful when singing is that on my iPod I have all of four bands with female lead singers, and therefore most of the songs are pitched too low for me to sing. Honestly I don't really care, but whatever.
- Those four bands with female vocalists are the Cranberries, Evanescence, Eyes Set to Kill, and Nightwish.
- Cranberries:
- Come on, there's no way I can mimic that accent, or sing their songs without it
- Evanescence:
- I would be even more of an idiot than I already am to think I could match Amy Lee's voice. 'Nuff said.
- Eyes Set to Kill:
- She sounds both completely aloof and yet so involved. I can't do that either.
- Nightwish:
- I've only acutally heard Tarja, and a) the accent, b) she could sing opera.
Dear iPod,
We may have our differences, like how you only want to play music through one speaker while I'd like to listen through both, but despite that and the fact that your lock button doesn't work, you still manage to play enough music to keep me entertained.
Love, MOI
Chocolate Chip Cookies
While obviously not quite as amazing as chococolate nut cookies, chocolate chip cookies are delicious and chocolaty. Om nom nom.
That's all for now. Because I'm actually supposed to be doing useful stuff other than blogging when you guys aren't even going to read it. Oh, well.
Monday, September 5, 2011
Apparently no one else has a Doctor's Office where they criticize singers and give attitude checks.
Yeah, that's right. Go ahead and Google "Doctor's Office: Attitude Check." Number one. And then Google "Doctor's Office: Singer." Fourth. Not counting Google Maps stuff.
It would seem that having somewhat original blog titles does get my blog in the first page of results. So, obviously, now I must have all original titles.
Aside from that, some anecdotes of my ridiculous cousin. Her nickname is Zibby. I don't actually remember how this came up, but I don't think I've called her by her real name in over a year. Even when talking to other people about her. So, talking to her older sister (who I'll call Anne):
Anne: Zibby bought Nutella.
Me: Tell Zibby I'm going to eat all the Nutella.
Anne: She says if you eat the Nutella she'll eat you.
Me: I'll eat her first and then the Nutella.
Anne: She says, "Now that I know her plan I'll eat her first."
Oh, Zibby.
L'ANNÉE SCOLAIRE COMMENCE!
Which I'm obviously so excited about. Because I have FRENCH! Whoo hoo. /sarcasm
It's really tempting to revoke your privilege to comment on my glorious blog, would it were soiled by your...nah, you wouldn't care 'cos you never comment.
Probably some more Pet Peeves tomorrow. Or maybe later today if I'm so inclined. It's kind of funny how some guy decided to criticize my insistence on perfect grammar at all times, and yet only managed to publicize my blog. Blah blah blah. Whatever.
I had a nightmare the other day, which was kind of wow because I've never had one before. It was about snakes. And then yesterday I was walking and I almost stepped on a snake. I've also almost stepped on a rattlesnake in bare feet. And a black rat snake (probably), but with shoes. I'm usually not afraid of snakes, but since I keep almost-stepping on them...yeah.
The main point of this post was to let everyone know I have the number one Google search item. So there.
...and yet I still only have nine followers.

Learn to Spell
Here's a list of commonly mis-spelled words that I think you should all learn to spell correctly:
Poetry
This word is not spelled with an "h." I'm not sure what planet you're from if you spell it like that.
Why
It has a "w" and an "h" in it, too, just so you know.
Who
It is not spelled, "hu."
Ever.
You
Very similar to "why." It does have a "y" and an "o," too.
What
It has an "h!" See, you can learn stuff on the internet!
Cardiovascular
It's actually pretty easy to spell. It's really funny if you can get a three-year-old to try to say it. Depending on the three-year-old.
Sorry
Ever heard of vowels?
Bye
Please note that the short way of saying goodbye and bisexual are not to be confused. Bye≠bi.
Two, Too, and To
Not exactly a spelling thing, but they do have different spellings and meanings. Two is a number. Too means also, besides, to an excessive degree, or very. To is both a preposition and an adverb. Learn the difference.
Please
There. Is. No. Z.
That's all for now. And, apparently, we have some Brazilian readers. If that's true, I expect comments. If it's false, then I'm very gullible. But I'm still very skeptical about that.
Anyhow.
Sayonara.
Oh, and if nobody cares that I think that perfect grammar should be used in all situations (WHEN POSSIBLE), then why do they keep reading my blog?

Pet Peeves: Vol. I
1. Bad Grammar
People using incorrect grammar make me want to kill myself, then come back to life, tear all my hair out, kill myself again, and come back to life and yell at them. I actually correct total stranger's grammar. This summer, at Yellowstone. Hiking, lots of ground squirrels. This random kid is like, "Yeah, there's a lot of squirrels." And I'm like, "There are a lot of squirrels." Maybe this just proves I'm a total jerk, but whatever. Grammar is important. (or should I say, grammar) Get that into yer heads, people.
2. Using Shortcuts While Typing
Using shortcuts while texting on a small keypad is bad enough, but then these idiots have to carry that habit onto their computer keyboards. HELLO, you've got a perfectly fine keyboard at your disposal, why don't you use it? Maybe you want to type faster, but hey, if you actually bothered to type properly, you would start typing faster. so b4 u start typin lik dis learn wat a keyboard is also wat th shift key dos
3. Replacing Letters
Why on earth would you bother spelling "was" as "wuz?" Did it ever occur to you that, HELLO, the "w," "a," and "s" keys are waaay closer than "w," "u," and "z?" I didn't think so. In addition, adding a "z" to the end of words (or even in the middle) does not make you cool. Or repeating a letter. Unless it's a vowel to stress that the syllable is exaggerated. This: looong. Okay. This: wazzupppp. No. That's not even a word.
4. Bad Spelling
Apparently I shouldn't mock people for their bad spelling, but, hey! it really gets on my nerves. How on earth do you get, "pohetry" out of "poetry?" Or "sleander mean" out of "Slender Mane?" (which, by the way, is insanely creepy and I'm paranoid now (well, more than I was before). I'll probably post links later) Yeah, okay maybe the person doesn't know how to spell the word they've spelled wrong, but a) DID YOU NOTICE THE RED LINE?! The red line means YOU CAN'T SPELL. And, b) learn to spell it.
5. Exclamation Points
For some reason, I feel like exclamation points, when not used alone (such as this!) should be in specific amounts, by which I mean: this is okay!!! It has three exclamation points. This is not okay!! Neither is this!!!! But this is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There probably isn't any reason what so ever for this. It just drives me insane.
6. "I'm [disorder]"
It seriously pisses me off (by now you may have discovered that I am very easily angered) when people say, "I'm OCD," or "I'm ADD/ADHD." You. Are. Not. A. Disorder. You may have the disorder, but you are mostly certainly not it.
7. HUGZZZZZ!!!!!!
People who randomly, without reason, are all, "OMG GIMME A HUG!" piss. Me. Off. Uh, hello, is there a reason I should be giving you a hug? No. Bugger off. However, if there's a reason, go ahead. This: you're my best friend and you're leaving forever but until then I will hug you every time I see you. Yes, you ahead. This: omg the sky has clouds gimme a hug, or HUUUG!!!!!!! No. So irritating. Get away from me.
8. Space Invasion
Some people don't get that other people really don't like being touched or being to near anyone. So when someone is like OMG HUGZZ or whatever, or just decides to put their hand on my shoulder or something (and if they're doing it to piss me off, I kill them. Not really but I'd like to), and I'm either, err please get away from me, or don't touch me, or I just squirm, I DON'T LIKE IT. Derp. Obvious. There's not really any reason for this, but it bothers me.
9. Doors
Being in my room with the door open makes me get hives. Not really. But I hate it. I can feel the open door. And if I say I want it closed, CLOSE IT. 'Nuff said.
10. My Problems Are More Important Than Yours!
I am an extremely selfish person. I am alost always absorbed in my own problems. BUT--I don't go and say "My problems are more important." They really aren't. They're petty, ridiculous things. I should just get over them but I can't, so instead I just try to pay attention to other people's problems (unless they're just really, really stupid). It doesn't really work. But at least I try.
That's it for now. Please note, as per the whole title thing, this is only the first set. Believe me, I could write 50,000 words of my pet peeves. I could actually win NaNoWriMo for once! And then have all of my pet peeves in a nice, free book. Chyeah, awesome.
In the meantime,
WINTER WRAP-UP, WINTER WRAP-UP!!!
Let's finish our holiday cheer
WINTER WRAP-UP, WINTER WRAP-UP!!!
'Cos tomorrow spring is here,
'COS TOMORROW SPRING IS HERE!!!
