Worn Out!

I hate it when people (meaning my brother) tell a joke that is super worn out!!! I don't mean that I hate it when people tell a joke like "Why did the chicken cross the road" I mean that I hate this kind of thing:

So say that my family watches a movie one night. In it someone said something funny. We all laugh about it and make fun of it that night. But then around noon the next day, my brother randomly brings it up saying, "remember that one funny thing the thing said last night?" and we're all like "no," and then he tells the joke that we already made fun of a bunch and is now totally old and worn out and expects us to laugh! GRRRR!!!

You know what I hate about e-mails?

I hate some e-mails. E-mails are usually awesome. But I hate forwards and spam! I even made a new e-mail address just so that I could use my old one for forwards! Yesterday, I got an e-mail that, if you click the link, it automatically sends it to EVERYONE ON YOUR CONTACTS LIST!!! It is evil! AAAAAAHH!!!

You know what I hate about Earthlings?

They're really stupid! I hate it when people are asked a simple question like "What did Ferdinand Magellan prove from his trip aROUND the world?" especially when someone is stressing the "round" in the word around. A fifth grader should know that! Obviously, he proved the world was round, not flat! I also hate how much they over-react. For instance, my younger brother once fell on his arm. He got a tiny scratch, but didn't realize it. Thirty seconds later, my mom realized he had a scratch and said "Oooh! You have a scratch!" and then my brother immediately started crying! I hate people.....

You know what I hate about movies? (2)

They're so predictable! For instance, once I watched a movie where a girl's father was away in Baltimore and she was in Cincinnati. It was either Christmas or Thanksgiving or just a celebration. Well, while the were just about to eat the turkey, somebody knocked on the door! Right then, I yelled out "Father-daughter moment!" (don't worry I was at home not at a movie theatre) and, guess what? I was right! The girl answered the door and saw her father. They ran towards each other and hugged and had a father-daughter moment! Predictable! I hate predictable movies. I also hate movies where people have cheesy names, like in Kit Kittredge! Augh!!! I scream in agony...

You Know what I hate about the 30's and 40's?

The Very Best of Perry Como, picture from HERE

You know what I hate about the thirties and forties? Music! Just last night, I was watching a movie about the thirties and forties. The music was so annoying! It's all jazzy or bluesy and "swing"y with like no words and most of the artists had such scratchy and low voices that you could not understand a thing they were saying! AAAAH!!! I have this game on my computer that is like a diner game, but not Diner Dash. It plays tons and tons of thirties and forties music in the background! Ahhh! I hate it!!!

Sad Rant

This is not a mad rant; it is a sad one. For any of you who I did not email, here it is.

On Thursday, February 19, 2009, a small orange kitten was let out of his household around six in the morning. That kitten's name was Zeus. He belonged to me, Rory. He was my favorite kitten in the world, perfect in a kitten-like way. He scratched and bit in a playful way like all kittens do. He caught mice and even birds and left them as presents for me, his master. But he also liked to sleep and he enjoyed purring at me. When I laid in my bed, he cuddled up to me, purring his signature loud pur. He was my best friend. But then, on the morning of February 19, 2009, he never came back from his daily outing between 6 in the morning and whatever time I got home from school. The world has embraced Zeus, and may never let him go. Whether his prolonged outing is because he chose to stay out, he got lost, somebody picked him up, he is hurt, or some other reason, I miss my kitty. I know that many of you can understand the pain I feel. I am sorry if this has distressed any of you, but I thought it was only right of me to let you know. I will immediately inform you if I hear any news of my cute little male kitten.

You know what I hate about socks?

So, socks keep your feet warm and stuff. Socks are kept together with small seams at the front which are "Practically undetectable" but I am totally annoyed by them! I feel them! They hurt so badly! Socks squeeze my toes! My toes feel like they need to be separated, like in toe-socks, but I cannot find toe-socks!!! Socks are so itchy! They always fall down when I'm wearing long socks, especially when I'm skiing. I hate socks!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know what I hate about TV?

So, many kids my age love TV. I think watching TV is okay. But there's one little thing that gets me every time. Doctor shows! There are so many of them! Why are shows about medical workers so popular? One family member (my dad) that I interviewed said "Because doctors are cool!" But, of course, he is a doctor... My mother, also a doctor, says "Because people find it (shows about doctors) interesting!" One teenage girl that I interviewed said "People like watching bad things happen to other people. When a person gets impaled with an icicle, like on Grey's Anatomy, they are like, 'OMG! HOW ARE THE DOCTORS GONNA FIX THIS?!?!?!?!?' Then, they have to watch the whole show to figure out what's gonna happen, but at the same time, the social life of the doctors is just like AH-MAZING! They are just SOOOO cool. I wish I could be them... etc. etc. DOCTORS ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Okay... That was odd. So, I guess that doctor shows will live on - as will my annoyance with them.

You know what I hate about football?

So, yeah, I know a lot of people that are crazy about football. Thoughts of Gators, Cougars, Seahawks, and other teams cause their minds to stray from important things such as car-maintenance, playing video games, and essay-writing. But me? No, I am not carried away in the confusion of touchdowns, kick-offs, and free kicks. I am much too annoyed by one simple word, a word that every football announcer uses every game. That word is... blitz. “Wow! What a blitz! Did you see #123 blitz past #456, Tom?!” Jeremy Sergeant says – much too enthusiastically – to his partner-in-crime. “Yes, I did Jeremy. That was fantastic! Before #456 could blink an eye, #123 just blitzed past him!” Tom Roman says just as enthusiastically as Jeremy. Blitz, blitzed, blitzing! Here is the (football) meaning of blitz: Act or instance of charging directly for (the passer) as soon as the ball is snapped. To charge directly and immediately at the passer. Did you know that blitz is a shortening of blitzkrieg?

You know what I hate about playing board games?

So, I was playing this game where you are trying to fit 21 pieces on a board. You have to connect the pieces at the corners. You have to play against 3 other people, who also have 21 pieces that they are trying to fit on the 400-square board. It is a very strategic game. So, I put a piece down, and then took my hand away, looking at the board and thinking "If I go there, where can I move?" Then, I said "That's not where I wanted to go," But then, another person that I was playing with said “You took your hand off of it, so you went there!" So I looked through the rules and this is what they said, and I quote, "Once a piece has been placed on the board it cannot be moved" here, the unwilling player said "See?" "But there is more," I said. Again, here is what the game rules said, "Once a piece has been placed on the board it cannot be moved during subsequent turns." So, I was right, right? But no! Everyone else said I wasn't allowed to do that, so I had to keep the horribly-placed piece where it was. Because of that piece, I lost the game.
