People
I hate people who pretend to be better than other people. This can take many forms: intelligence, style, status, religiosity. I don't like fake people either. There are so many people in the world... we all blend in enough as it is, do what makes you happy. And don't expect everyone else to be like you. Yeah, you
have your preferences, everyone does. You don't have to like everyone and everything, but be tolerant. I've had my own experience with stereotypes because of the way i DRESS, believe it or not. But trust me, if you actually try to get to know me, you'll start to become immune to the way i dress. Or even start to like it. It's part of my identity, i'm not going to change if for some reason it offends you.
Northern Indiana Weather
It's cold. Snow is beautiful and all, and i can handle 1-5 inches. But it gets ridiculous around here. Last year we had feet and feet of it. Help me. You see, i am petrified of ice. I fell on the ice when i was 7 and messed up my ankle... hence my phobia. I fell twice last winter. I don't have very good balance, and i hate wearing hats. I just wasn't made to live in South Bend.
Insects
Creepy, crawly, scary, ugly. YUCK.
My Neighborhood
I'll be the first to admit, i'm not from the "hood." But my neighborhood is getting worse by the minute. There was actually a gang shooting at the mall... which is three minutes from my house. And five more people have been shot since there then, that's within the past 2 years. Tell me THAT isn't scary? There was another shooting a couple weeks later... two people were killed. I'm also afraid of 7-11 convenience stores. I really hate going into them after it's dark outside. I've just seen too many of those "Caught on Tape" robberies on TV. It gives me the chills. The weird thing is, it's only 7-11 that scares me. I could go into Wawa or something after dark. But 7-11 takes a lot of courage for me. If you can figure me out, i welcome your psychoanalysis. Odds and Ends
Baseball. Boredom. Smoking. Drunks. Morning classes. Missing a phone call. Stiff necks. Distrust. Migraines. Writer's block. Philosophy classes. Disappointment. Cats. Stress. DART (It's how we attempt to register for classes here at ND... "Welcome to DART... Direct Access Registration by Telephone"). Busy signals. Sore throats. Cancelled plans. Humidity. When my food touches on my plate (it's one of my quirks, i admit it. I eat one item on my plate at a time and they all have to be separated. Maybe i'm a bit compulsive). Doubt. Spicy foods. Seafood. Anything lemon (i'm allergic). Yellow. New Year's Eve. Getting booted from AOL. Alarm clocks.
