You let the guys in your band have girlfriends?
It was a bad choice, but they bring like 10 friends to every show. So at least the whole band has somewhere to put their coats

RIGHT ANSWER Alexis!

You guys are the biggest jocks.

Sorry, couldn't hear you I was lifting weights.

All I'll say is that our professor allowed us to "use teachings from possibly the earth mother" as references for the paper. I'm not joking at all.
Earth Mother is a weird wording but I do wish it were easier to incorporate traditional teachings into a paper without having to find it in a book.. So many ceremonies and protocols aren't documented. They aren't supposed to be documented.. Is your prof allowing you to mention these without references? And who IS your prof? Sounds like Barb..
Waterfall? Sure is.

Makes sense.. Then the use of teachings would be pretty fitting would they not?

Paige kinda has you on this one man. Oral teachings and traditions outside of book learnin' would be pretty important to a class like that.

Oh I'm not saying it's a pet peeve. I just have no idea how I would fit it into a paper based around cold, hard economic analysis :(

Travel blogs that are long-winded, stupid, and attempt to be "nerdy" while mostly just being a catalog of whatever "way out" food you ate and whatever banal accommodations you had in in Country X. Extra Spite Points for being embarrassingly riddled with white man's burden and "lookee here!" hickory acclaimations.

I love that in 2012 we can hear what everyone has to say immediately via the internet, but I like the fact that, appropriately, most of what people have to say is absolutely boring and devoid of any valid content

Only half the time though. I think you have to click it in a special way.

Working in trades a lot of job sites will have a radio going somewhere. Having to listen to Coldplay among other bad radio songs drives me crazy. Really it's my own fault on the days I forget to bring my ipod and headphones.

Rad Dads like Coldplay. If I wanted to listen to a boring, watered down mix of Radiohead and that "alternative" band that played all my school dances in Junior High, I'd listen to nothing at all because that's fucking auditory vomit.


And I like Radiohead.

Individuals who take part in cultural appropriation OR have misinformed "stereotypes" and then get pissy when you call them out on it. "I'm offensive but it's not my problem because YOU'RE too sensitive".

EDIT: I also dislike the "unfollow" tactic with Tumblr... Why do people put so much meaning into it?

People who hang the act of unfollowing you over your head (not you, Alexis). Or when you dislike ONE thing and they're all "unfollow me then!". Why?! Why do I have to unfollow you over ONE thing?
