8 things I can’t stand, in no particular order

  • Anything involving Vampires of any kind, type or form
  • Pompous blowhards of any stripe (takes one to know one, though) (ditto!)
  • Bad service. Don't they know we're in a recession? Be nice to me.
  • Bad restaurants. There is just no reason. (and why are the bad ones so expensive? idiots!)
  • Cynicism
  • Self-congraulatory meta-style. You know what I'm talking about.
  • Popular writing that's so bad it makes you want to give up language (see number one)
  • Working (talk to me in one month, though)

8 people I'm tagging: Everyone i know, which might not equal eight. You're it!!
