Unpleasant Encounters... and the Cure!

Today I encountered some pet peeves of mine that I really need to get over. I'm working on it. But really... these really irk me.

Don't have a Facebook if...
Don't have a Facebook if you're going to sit there and complain about your friends changing their statuses, changing their profile pic, etc. Or if you're going to make fun of your "friends" because of what they put. That's what Facebook is all about! Letting people know what's going on in your life. If you don't want to see these things, don't pay attention to them, ignore it, don't even have a Facebook, but don't make fun of people for expressing their feelings to people they THOUGHT were their friends. Urgh.


Don't lean over me. I mean from behind, like, over my shoulder. I don't know why this bothers me SO entirely much, but it does. I don't have anything to hide, but I don't like that feeling of someone staring behind me. It's kind of rude, actually. I especially don't like this when people I don't know or don't particularly get along with do it. Have a little respect? Instead of trying to drive a dagger into my back.


Teenage girls are ridiculous. I don't remember being like this when I was younger. And I'm not saying that self-righteously. But these social butterflies, talking about their sex lives (SEX LIVES in high school?!?!?!), their drug use, their alcohol abuse, talking behind each other's backs, talking about when they're going to tan again, how ugly and fat they are when they know they're the opposite... wow, that really hurts my brain. I can't take being in a stuffed car with them for long. Yikes. I hope the Kingdom comes before I have a girl because I don't want any daughter of mine to live like that. Or any young girl, not just mine! What teenagers are doing in this day and age is just... sad.


Well, there you go. My cure for these unpleasant encounters is some prayer, some meditating, and not in the least, some Riesling!

  1. Ever hear of a book called "The Body Project"? I think you might like it. The author's name is Joan Jacobs-Brumberg.
