Hey, Look! I Posted Something! (AKA: My Daily Dose Of Awkward)

 Hello. I'm back. I know, I know. You missed me.
All three of you.
 Anyway, sorry for not posting in a while. I was...busy. Doing...things. No, really! I do things! Today, for instance, I went shopping (with my mom...) And got my daily dose of 'I'm-really-sorry-I'm-terribly-awkward-around-people'. Now, you might think "Oh, hey. The female went shopping! I wonder if she got some shoes." But, no. I didn't get any shoes. What I did get was brownie mix, trash bags, and a whole lot of mental instability.
 First, we went to BJ's. Y'know, the one that sells large quantities of items and looks kinda shady? Yeah, you know that place. So, as you can probably guess, I don't really love that store. Getting past the electronics section was probably the worst part, considering the fact that I had to listen to a hundred different voices speaking from a hundred different devices at a hundred different paces. Scary, right? Once I got past there, I was basically ready to burst. I think that's when I started getting a little...weird.
Man, I am such a skilled artist.
I was glad when we finally got to leave, even thought I knew the next place wouldn't be much better.
We were going to Walmart.
Oh, wait. Excuse me. I mean, We were going to Walmart. I think Walmart  Walmart is, officially, the bane of my existence. First of all, there's the creepy people who are forced to greet you at the door, which, in my opinion, is really scary.
This is what I see every time I walk inside.
 Then, they're all so helpful. They're all like "Oh, hey. Let me do that for you!" And then I'm thinkin' What the heck? I thought I was doing fine. I guess I'm just not good at taking people's help. Much in the way I'm not good at taking compliments.

 I was happy to come home and collapse in front of the computer.

Well, yeah. That's my day. Sounds fun, right? Yeah, I didn't think so. Oh, well. I'm home now. Just, y'know, chillin' with my cat. I'll be posting again soon (hopefully). 
Otherwise, well. You'll just have to deal with it. :)

It's The Little Things That Manage To Annoy The Heck Outta Me

            I know that I've already made a whole page for it, but I just don't feel I've talked to you enough about the things that annoy me. So, here we go.
------------------------------------------------
             Now, if you've ever been on the internet, you've probably seen something like this:
WHAT DOES IT SAY!?!?!?
You know these things. They're everywhere. They pop up just about every time you try to do something on the internet. I believe the point of these is to keep laser-equipped robots from hacking into your confidential information. But, all they seem to do is annoy the heck out of me. I mean, sometimes they're alright, like the one above, but if they look like this:
Then there's no way you're ever going to even guess what it says. You will constantly try refreshing the page and deciphering that code, but it never works. Your computer fills up with messages like this:
At this point, they seem to think you are a laser-wielding robot trying to hack someone's account. You should really give up.
But you don't.
You will keep trying to get it right, convincing yourself that the next one will be easier, but they never are. Eventually, you get a final message and you decide it's not worth it. You go back to doing whatever else you want to do, but there's always that little message, nagging you.
"I will destroy you."
---------------------------------------------
             I'm now going to describe my annoyance with people like someone I will call "Jerk" for the sake of privacy. Jerk has never been very kind to me, but I've grown to know that he's going to keep being an idiot. I'm not as annoyed with him anymore, but there's still one thing that gets me every day.
             Every morning, while walking to the bus stop, Jerk decides it's necessary to launch a large glob of mucus onto the nearest patch of dry land, splattering it with sticky globs of mouth-snot.
Repulsive...
This little action drives me insane. It repulsive and unsanitary, as well as just plain stupid. If you need to remove the mucus from your throat, do it discreetly, don't leave it there, baking on the sidewalk like a disgusting little slug. Every time this happens, I have to restrain myself from ranting on about the dangers of salivating on every object in sight. I want to shout thing like "FIRE!" every time that little package of mouth-snot is ejected from his face. I have to stop myself from saying "Fire the cannon!" or "Unleash the Kraken!" when Jerk does that.
And believe me, it's hard.
I swear, one day I will say something, and he better watch out if he keeps doing it. If I can slay potatoes, I can slay Jerks. They're practically the same thing.
-----------------------------------------------
             There's another type of jerk, too. I'll call him Jerk2.0. Jerk2.0 thinks he's perfect. Every day in gym class I have to listen to the constant stream of bossiness that spews from his face. Even when we're doing something simple, like volleyball, he manages to act like the boss of the whole team. Jerk2.0 will mirthlessly "help" you until you manage to do something better than him until the class ends. He messes up, too. So he's really just being a hypocrite.
You People Disgust Me...
--------------------------------------------------
             Alright! I'll try to post more frequently. Chapter 3 of Henry Is Almost done!

The Strange Phenomenon, In Which Most Of The Year's Holiday Are Flattened Into A Short Three Months, And Those Months Go By All Too Fast.

 As you probably already know, Halloween has passed. Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, but I only like the dressing up aspect of it.I don't really love being afraid, and taking candy from strangers makes me feel awkward and terribly impolite. (Because I am such a dainty little female) It was nice.
 So, up next is Thanksgiving. I like Thanksgiving. Getting together with family is always fun, and I always enjoy food.
 And then there's Christmas! I like the presents, reading stories the night before, and the overall sense of joy. I like decorating the Christmas tree, too. The one bad thing about this holiday is all the annoying songs! I mean, Christmas is nice and all, but enough is enough. At least the people in my neighborhood are too busy riding dirt bikes to worry about singing songs and spreading joy.
What's your favorite fall/winter holiday?
